Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some example 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, always wear MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or
respirator when using such tools.
SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS
indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.

minor or moderate injury.

which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand. This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize
this information, we use the symbols below. Please read the manual and pay attention to these
sections.
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove
the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user.
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
3
2
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is grounded.
3. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull
the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension
cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. 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.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have
the switch ON invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool ON. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result
in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
7. Use certified safety equipment. Eye protection equipment should
comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards, hearing equipment should comply with
ANSI S3.19 standards, and dust mask protection should comply with
MSHA/NIOSH certified respirator standards.
TOOLS USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or other practical way 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.
2. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or OFF. A tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
4
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a
risk of injury.
2. When servicing a 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 electric shock or injury.
1. Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and will shock the operator.
2. Use proper safety equipment. Wear safety goggles for eye protection,
wear hearing protection, and wear a protective mask to minimize breathing in
the fine dust created while sanding.
3. Sanding of lead-based paint is not recommended. Lead-based paint
should only be removed by a professional.
4. Always maintain a firm grip on the belt sander handles with both hands
to prevent loss of control.
5. Do not operate belt sander without all guards and covers securely in
place.
6. Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra
care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these
materials. Request and follow any safety information available from your
material supplier.
This tool was designed for certain applications. DO NOT
modify and/or use it for any application other than for which
it was designed. If you have any questions relative to its application, DO NOT
use the tool until you have written Porter-Cable and we have advised you.

Extreme care should be taken when removing paint. The
peelings, residue, and vapors of paint may contain lead,
which is poisonous. Exposure to even low levels of lead can
cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage. Young
and unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
Before beginning any paint removal process you should determine whether
the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local
health department or by a professional who uses a paint analyzer to check for
lead.
LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL.
Persons removing paint should follow these guidelines:
1. KEEP THE WORK AREA WELL VENTILATED. Open the windows and
put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving air from inside
to outside.
2. REMOVE OR COVER any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking
utensils, and air ducts.
3. PLACE DROP CLOTHS in the work area to catch any paint chips or
peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls and hats.
