GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. The term "power tool" in all of the
warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work Area
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which ignite
the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
c) Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure switch is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.

TOOL DESCRIPTION
Dynafile II – Is an electric hand tool with a moving narrow belt. Tool is equipped as shown on page 4.
ASSEMBLY and OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. With power source disconnected from tool rotate head to desired position and tighten set screw with hex wrench provided to clamp. Insure that it is clamped tight enough
not to slip. The belt could contact the operators hand if not tightened sufficiently.
2. Connect power source to tool. Be careful not to depress switch in the process.
3. Hold tool by the motor housing only. One or two hands may be used. Do Not hold tool by head/housing assembly. Keep hands away from all grinding/sanding edges
and moving parts.
4. Slide switch forward to start tool. Touch rear of switch to release.
5. With power source disconnected adjust belt tracking by turning adjustment knob (Item #7) to the left or right accordingly, so as abrasive belt rides evenly over contact arm.
6. Working off the return path of the abrasive belt will ensure superior tracking.
7. Use clamps or other practical means to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.

MAINTENANCE and ACCESSORY CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Important: A preventative maintenance program is recommended whenever portable power tools are used.
•
Use only genuine Dynabrade replacement parts to insure quality. To order replacement parts, specify Model #, Serial # and RPM of your tool.
Routine Preventative Maintenance:
•
Mineral spirits are recommended when cleaning the sanding heads. Do not use on electrical components or clean tool or parts with any solvents or oils containing acids,
esters, ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons or nitro carbons. Compressed air may be used to remove dirt from electrical components.
(continued on next page.)
d) Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tool. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools opera-
tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to blind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be preformed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) 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
1. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly
apart and cause injury.
2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live”
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
3. All adjustments to the machine are to be done with the machine off, the power source disconnected and the belt not running.
Some dust created by sanding, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm to the operator or bystander. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• 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.

Abrasive Impregnated Non-Woven Nylon
A non-woven synthetic fiber and an abrasive mineral are bonded together to
form a tough, open web that is chemically resistant and long-lasting. This web
design allows controlled conformable contact to workpiece contours, corners
and edges. The product wears away slowly, exposing new abrasive leaving a
uniform, consistent surface. It also conditions surfaces without removing or
damaging the base material and is excellent for deburring, cleaning, blending
and final finishing of metal, wood and plastics. It is available in many forms such
as belts, discs and wheels. Various mineral grades are available
ranging from very coarse to ultra-fine.
Aluminum Oxide
The most widely used abrasive grain. This tough durable synthetic is used for
grinding and deburring high carbon steels, general metalworking and for
sanding certain hardwoods.
Ceramic Aluminum Oxide
Synthetic grain two-to-three times tougher than conventional aluminum oxide.
Silicon Carbide
Excellent for sanding primer and sealer. This sharp, fast-penetrating grain is
used for sanding soft materials such as plastics and fibrous wood.
Alumina Zirconia
Effective for coarse stock removal of metal and wood. This synthetic grain has
self-sharpening characteristics and provides continuous new cutting edges for
longer life and greater efficiency.
Abrasive Types
All abrasive accessories may be found in the most current Dynabrade®Catalog and abrasive literature.
