and free from oil and grease. 

Slippery handles 

and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe 

handling and control of the tool in unexpected 

situations. 

5)  Service

a)   Have your power tool serviced by a qualified 

repair person using only identical replacement 

parts. 

This will ensure that the safety of the power 

tool is maintained.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BELT 

SANDER

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, 

because the sanding surface may contact its own 

cord. 

Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal 

parts of the power tool “live” and could give the 

operator an electric shock.

Always check the workpiece before operation and 

remove any obstructions such as nails, staples, 

screws, string, rags, cloths and other debris. 

Do not lay the sander down until the sanding belt has 

come to a complete stop. 

Never turn the sander on or off when the tool is in 

contact with the workpiece. This may cause damage 

to the workpiece or result in personal injury. The 

sander should be running before contact is made 

with the workpiece and it should be removed from the 

workpiece before being switched off. 

For best results and safe use of this tool it is 

recommended that the workpiece should be clamped 

securely to a work bench. 

When in use always hold the sander firmly with both 

hands. 

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES:

1)  Recommendation that the tool always be 

supplied via a residual current device with a 

rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

2)  The belt sander will move forward rapidly when 

it makes contact with the workpiece. Ensure you 

are holding the sander firmly with both hands. 

3)  Hold the back handle and the front support 

handle firmly with both hands and move the tool 

back and forth. Do keep the sander in once area 

for prolonged periods as this may damage the 

workpiece.

4)  Take special care to guard against harmful and 

toxic dusts when sanding lead-based painted 

surfaces, woods and metals, including the 

following: - All persons entering the work area 

must wear a face mask specially designed for 

protection against toxic dust and fumes such as 

those arising from the sanding of lead paint. 

- Children and pregnant women must not enter the 

work area. 

- Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area. 

5)  Extreme care should be taken when sanding 

painted surfaces. The dust may contain lead 

which if comes into contact with the skin or is 

breathed in will cause poisoning. If you suspect 

paint contains lead stop immediately and seek 

professional advice. 

6)  Do not use the same sanding belt for wood and 

metal as metal particles will become embedded 

in the sand paper and will damage wooden 

surfaces. This will avoid any unnecessary 

damage to the base.
