BELT SANDER SAFETY
WARNINGS
1.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
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.
