2. Check power tool for damaged parts. Check for misalignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper
mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn ON/OFF. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.
3. Do not force the tool to do a job for which it was not designed. Use the correct power tool and accessories and
follow the instructions for your application to prevent hazardous situations.
4. Remove adjustment tools. Always make sure all adjustment tools or wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning on the power tool. A key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Keep guards in place and in working order before operating the tool.
6. Use dust extraction. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection is highly recommended to reduce dust-related haz-
ards.
7. Never leave a running tool unattended. Do not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.
8. Disconnect the plug from the power source. ALWAYS remove the power cord plug from the electrical outlet
when making adjustments, changing parts, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
9. Maintain power tools properly. Safely store power tools out of the reach of children. Always keep tools clean and
in good working order. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! EXTREME CAUTION REQUIRED WHEN SANDING PAINT. The dust residue may con-
tain LEAD which is poisonous. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system
damage, to which young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable. Any pre-1960s building may have paint
containing lead on wood or metal surfaces that has since been covered with additional layers of paint. Lead based
paints should only be removed by a professional and should not be removed using a sander. If you suspect that paint
on surfaces contains lead please seek professional advice.
WARNING! USE A FACE MASK AND DUST COLLECTION. Some wood and wood type products such as
MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) can produce dust that can be hazardous to your health. We recommend the
use of a dust extraction system and an approved face mask with replaceable filters when using this machine.
1. Maintaining a Stable Stance
Ensure proper balance when using the tool. Do not stand on ladders and step ladders during operation. If the ma-
chine is to be used on a higher and otherwise unreachable surface, a suitable and stable platform or scaffold tower
with hand rails and kick boards should be used.
2. Preparing the Workpiece
Check the workpiece for any protruding nails, screw heads or anything else that could tear or damage the belt.
