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.
BELT SANDER SAFETY
WARNINGS
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.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained
from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety
rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to
follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual
may cause serious personal injury.

Installing or removing step

Using step with the tool turned upside down allows
sanding another way of use. Remove the knob and then
place the step on the place the knob was seated and
secure it with knob.
Adjusting belt tracking
Fig.5
While the belt is running, use the adjusting knob to
center the belt tracking. Failure to do so can result in
frayed belt edges and wear on the sander frame.
Dust bag

The use of the dust bag makes sanding operations
clean and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag,
fit it onto the dust spout.
