RIDGID R2740 Operator'S Manual Download Page 4

4 - English

 

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 tool 
“live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

 

know your power tool. Read operator’s manual 
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as 
well as the specific potential hazards related to this 
power tool. 
Following this rule will reduce the risk of 
electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

 

Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses 
have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety 
glasses. 
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious 
personal injury.

 

Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the 
operation is dusty. 
Following this rule will reduce the 
risk of serious personal injury.

 

Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during 
extended periods of operation. 
Following this rule will 
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

 

Inspect power tool cords periodically and, if damaged, 
have repaired at your nearest Authorized Service 
Center. Constantly stay aware of cord location. 
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock 
or fire.

 

Check damaged parts. Before further use of the power 
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be 
carefully checked to determine that it will operate 

properly and perform its intended function. Check for 
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, 
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions 
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that 
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced 
by an Authorized Service Center. 
Following this rule 
will reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.

 

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. 
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one 
heavy enough to carry the current your product 
will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 
14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet 
or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not 
recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. 
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. 
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage 
resulting in loss of power and overheating.

 

Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before 
using this power tool. 
Following this rule will reduce the 
risk of serious personal injury.

 

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be 
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized 
service center to avoid risk.

 

Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and 
use them to instruct others who may use this power tool. 
If you loan someone this power tool, loan them these 
instructions also.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

 

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. 

in accordance with these instructions, taking into 

account the working conditions and the work to be 

performed. Use of the power tool for operations different 

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

SERVICE

 

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. 

 

When servicing a power tool, use only identical 

replacement parts. Follow instructions in the 

Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized 

parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may 

create a risk of shock or injury.

BELT SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS

 WARNING:

This product and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may 

contain chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive 

harm. 

Wash hands after handling.

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 exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce 
your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are 
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
