Unpacking
When unpacking, check to make sure the tool is assembled and all parts present. Refer to
the Assembly Drawing at the end of this manual. If any parts are missing or broken, please
call Harbor Freight Tools at the number on the cover of this manual as soon as possible.
Using Extension Cords
When using extension cords, they must have a minimum wire size depending on the amper-
age of the tool and the length of the extension cord. This size is signified by its AWG rating;
the smaller the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity. The extension cord must have a
grounding prong. For this Belt Sander, use an extension cord rated at 16 AWG for lengths up
to 50 feet.
