SAFETY RULES
1
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
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. Always wear OSHA/
NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator
when using such tools.
WARNING
For your own safety, read all of the rules and precautions
before operating tool.
WARNING
Always follow proper operating procedures as defined
in this manual even if you are familiar with use of this or
similar tools. Remember that being careless for even a
fraction of a second can result in severe personal injury.
WORK PREPARATION
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts of the tool.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
• Wear safety glasses complying with United States
ANSI Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact
resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.
• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.
• Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools
when tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that
cause drowsiness.
WORK AREA PREPARATION
• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite
accidents.
• Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do
not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not
expose power tools to rain.
• Work area should be properly lighted.
• Proper electrical receptacle should be available for tool.
Three-prong plug should be plugged directly into
properly grounded, three-prong receptacle.
• Extension cords should have a grounding prong and
the three wires of the extension cord should be of the
correct gauge.
• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
• Keep children out of the work area. Ensure your work
shop is child-proof. Use padlocks, master switches or
remove switch keys to prevent any unintentional use of
power tools.
TOOL MAINTENANCE
• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting
procedures.
• Keep tool lubricated and clean for a safe operation.
• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see
that adjusting tools or accessories are removed before
switching tool on.
• Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that
guard or other parts will operate properly and perform
their intended function.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any
other condition that may affect tool’s operation.
• A guard or any other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift
repairs.
TOOL OPERATION
• Use the right tool for your job. Do not force your
tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
• Disconnect tool when changing sanding sheets/belts.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool is in
the “OFF” position before plugging in.
• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate
for which it was designed. Keep hands away from
moving parts and sanding surfaces.
• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off
and do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is
tipped or if sanding surface is unintentionally contacted.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool’s operation, application
and specific limitations before using it.
• Use recommended accessories. Use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from possible
injury.
• Turn tool off if it jams. The motor may jam if too much
pressure is applied on the sanding surface.
• Support workpiece with mitre gauge, belt platen or work
table.
• Maintain 1/16” (1.5 mm) maximum clearance between
table and sanding belt or disc.
CAUTION: Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all times when tool is
being used.
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate tool until it is completely
assembled according to the instructions.
