General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read
instructions, illustrations
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.

BELT SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, 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.
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.
