WORK AREA SAFETY

= KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Cluttered benches and dark

areas invite accidents.

,, DON'T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp

or wet locations or expose them to rain. Don't operate power tools in potentially explosive environments, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,

or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.

,, KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe

distance away from the work area.

• USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

° MAKE THE WORKSHOP KID-PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by

removing starter keys.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

o DO NOT CHANGE THE PLUG IN ANY WAY. This belt sander is a double-insulated

tool. Double-insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug witi fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the

plug cannot be fully inserted into the outlet, reverse the plug, and try again. If it

still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

o VOLTAGE: Before plugging in the tool, make sure that the outlet voltage is

within the voltage marked on the tool's data plate.

o DO NOT USE "AC ONLY" RATED TOOLS WiTH A DC POWER SUPPLY. o DO NOT EXPOSE POWER TOOLS TO RAIN OR WET CONDITIONS. Water

entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

o If operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable, always use a

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter to supply power to your tool. Always wear electrician's rubber gloves and footwear in damp conditions.

o DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never use the cord to carry the tools or to pull

the plug from the outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or

moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase

the risk of electric shock°

o USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.

1oMake sure that your extension cord is in good condition.

2. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An Undersized cord will cause a drop on

line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

3. Table A shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and ampere

rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge: the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

4. When operating a power tool outside, ALWAYS use an outdoor extension

cord marked "W-A" or "We" These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
