Keep the cord to the side away from
pulleys.
The cord can be dragged into belt
housing and become entangled with the
pulleys.
Clamp or secure workpiece when
sanding.
Clamping the workpiece prevents it
from being ejected from under the sander
and leaves both hands to control the tool.
Clamp or secure sander if it is inverted
and bench mounted for use as a table
sander. Always use edge stop or guide
when sanding short or small workpieces.
Fingers or clothing can be dragged into
pulley and housing area.
Do not wet sand with this sander.
Liquids
entering the motor housing is an electrical
shock hazard.
Your tool is equipped with a dust canister,
empty it frequently, after completion of
sanding and before storing the sander.
Be
extremely careful of dust disposal, materials
in fine particle form may be explosive. Do not
throw sanding dust on an open fire.
Combustion from mixture of varnishes,
lacquers, polyurethane, oil or water with dust
particles can occur if there is a static
discharge, spark introduced in the box, or
excessive heat.
Portable belt sanders are not intended to be
permanently mounted as a bench or table
sander. There are accessories available
which can convert certain portable belt
sanders for occasional stationary use. If such
accessories are used always clamp or
secure sander when inverted and bench
mounted for use as a table sander. Be aware
of switch location and know how to shut off
the tool in emergency situations. Always
follow directions included with the accessory.
Use sanding fence, stop or guide when
sanding short or small workpieces.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
