IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATION

MINI BELT SANDER USE AND CARE

 Do not modify the Mini Belt Sander in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the

function and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment. There are specific applications

for which the Mini Belt Sander was designed.

 Always check of damaged or worn out parts before using the Mini Belt Sander. Broken

parts will affect the Mini Belt Sander operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts

immediately.

 Store idle Mini Belt Sander. When Mini Belt Sander is not in use, store it in a secure place out

of the reach of children. Inspect it for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.

 Unplug the sander before changing accessories. Accidental start-ups may occur if

the sander is plugged in while changing an accessory.

 Disposing of dust. Be extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in fine particle form

may be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire. Spontaneous combustion, may

in time, result from a mixture of oil or water with dust particles.

 Always wear eye protection and a dust mask for dusty applications and when sanding

overhead. Sanding particles can be absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily and may cause

health complications.

 Use special precautions when sanding chemically pressure treated timber, paint that

may be lead based, or any other materials that may contain carcinogens. A suitable

breathing respirator and protective clothing must be worn by all persons entering the work area.

Work area should be sealed with plastic sheeting and persons not protected should be kept out

until work area is thoroughly cleaned.

 Do not `wet sand' with this sander. Liquids entering the motor housing are an electrical

shock hazard.

 Keep fingers and clothing away from the belt. They could get cut or wedged between the

pulley, belt and motor housing.

 Properly adjust tracking of belt to avoid it overhanging the housing. A running belt

overhanging its housing can cause severe lacerations.

 Keep the cord to the side away from pulleys. The cord can be dragged into the belt housing

and become entangled with the pulleys.
