Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to belt sander safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1. Hold power
surfaces, because the belt 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.
2. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
3. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material
supplier safety data.
4. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are
working with.
5. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Make sure the belt is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
8. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
10. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
