BELT SANDER SAFETY
1. This sander is designed to sand wood or wood-like
products only. Sanding or grinding other materials could
result in fire, injury, or damage to the workpiece.
2. Use the sander on horizontal surfaces only. Operating
the sander when mounted on non-horizontal surfaces
may result in motor damage or injury.
3. Fasten the sander securely to a bench top or support-
ing surface in order to stop it from tipping over or mov-
ing when in use.
4. Make sure the sanding belt is installed in the correct
direction. See directional arrow on back of belt.
5. Always have the tracking adjusted properly so the belt
does not run off the pulleys.
6. Do not use sanding belts or discs that are damaged,
torn, or loose. Use only correct size sanding belt and
disc.
7. Always hold the workpiece firmly when sanding. Keep
hands away from sanding belt or disc. Sand only one
workpiece at a time.
8. Always hold the workpiece firmly on the table when
using the disc sander and when using the belt sander.
9. Always sand on the downward side of the sanding
disc when using the disc sander. Sanding on the upward
side of the disc can cause the workpiece to fly out of
position, resulting in injury.
10. Always maintain a minimum clearance of 1/16 inch
(1.6 mm) or less between the table or backstop and the
sanding belt or disc.
11. Do not sand pieces of material that are too small to
be safely supported.
12. When sanding a large workpiece, provide additional
table height support.
13. Do not sand with the workpiece unsupported. Sup-
port the workpiece with the backstop or table. The only
exception is curved work performed on the outer sand-
ing drum.
14. Always remove scrap pieces and other objects from
the table, backstop, or belt before turning the sander ON.
15. Never perform layout, assembly or set-up work on
the table while the sander is operating.
16. Never use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents
could dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Use
only a soft damp cloth to clean plastic parts.
17. Should any component of your sander be missing/
damaged or fail in any way, shut off switch and remove
plug from power supply outlet. Replace the missing,
damaged, or failed parts before resuming operation.
18. Never pull the power cord out of the receptacle. Keep
cords away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
19. Have an electrician replace or repair damaged or
worn cords immediately.
