the user as well as damage the tool.
IMPORTANT: This appliance is not intended
for use by persons (including children) with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental capabilities
may be different or reduced, or lack of experi-
ence or knowledge, unless such persons are su-
pervised or trained to operate the product by
a person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure they do not use
the devices as toys.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
tool for the application. The correct tool will
do the job better and more safely at the rate
that it was designed to work at.
Do not use tools if switch does not turn it on
or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories or storing the tool. This preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of accidental
starting of the tool.
When the power tool is not in use, store it out
of the reach of children, and do not allow in-
dividuals who are not familiar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate it. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands on untrained
users.
Maintain the power tool. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect the
operation of the power tool. If it is damaged,
have it repaired before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Check for misalignment or bonding of moving
parts, breakage parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If you find
a damaged tool, take it to service before use it.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer of your model. Suitable ac-
cessories for one tool, may become hazardous
when are used on another tool.
Keep cutting tools, sharpened and clean. Cut-
ting tools in good condition with sharpened
edges, are less likely to stuck in workpieces or
easier to control.
Is recommendable to use a safety device suit-
able, such a thermal and differential switch
when you are using an electric equipment.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could re-
sult in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
BELT-DISC SANDERS
1. USE sander on horizontal surfaces only. Op-
erating the sander when mounted on non-hor-
izontal surfaces might result in motor damage.
2. TO STOP it from tipping over or moving
when in use, the sander must be securely fas-
tened to a bench top or supporting surface.
3. PLACE the sander so neither the user nor
bystanders are forced to stand in line with the
abrasive belt or disc.
4. MAKE SURE the sanding belt is installed in
the correct direction. See directional arrow on
back of belt.
5. ALWAYS have the tracking adjusted properly
so the belt does not run off the pulleys.
6. DO NOT USE sanding belts or discs that are
damaged, torn or loose. Use only correct size
sanding belt and disc. Narrower belts uncover
parts that could trap fingers.
7. MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign ob-
jects in the part of the workpiece to be sanded.
8. ALWAYS HOLD the workpiece firmly when
sanding. Keep hands away from sanding belt
or disc. Sand only one workpiece at a time.
9. ALWAYS HOLD the workpiece firmly on the
table when using the disc sander and when us-
ing the belt sander.
10. ALWAYS SAND ON THE DOWNWARD SIDE
of the sanding disc when using the disc sander.
Sanding on the upward side of the disc could
cause the workpiece to fly out of position, re-
sulting in injury.
11. ALWAYS maintain a minimum clearance of
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or less between the table or
backstop and the sanding belt or disc.
12. DO NOT sand pieces of material that are
too small to be safely supported.
13. KEEP fingers away from where the belt
goes into the dust trap.
