SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SERVICE
1.
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
BELT SANDER
WARNING:
Read all instructions.
Failure to comply with all of the following
instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
1.
Hold power tool by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
2.
Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
3.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
4.
Make sure the belt is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
5.
Use of this tool to sand some products,
paints and wood could expose user to dust
containing hazardous substances.
Use
appropriate respiratory protection.
6.
Never leave the trigger locked “ON”.
Before plugging the tool in, check that the
trigger lock is “OFF”. Accidental start-ups
could cause injury.
7.
Unplug the sander before changing
accessories.
Accidental start-ups may
occur if sander is plugged in while changing
an accessory.
8.
Properly adjust tracking of belt to avoid
it overhanging the housing.
A running belt
overhanging its housing can cause severe
lacerations.
9.
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.
10.
Do not wet sand with this sander.
Liquids entering the motor housing is an
electrical shock hazard.
People with electronic
devices, such as pacemakers, should
consult their physician(s) before using this
product. Operation of electrical equipment
in close proximity to a heart pacemaker
could cause interference or failure of the
pacemaker.
WARNING:
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the state of California
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.
