GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Do not operate this tool until it is completely assembled and installed according to the
instructions.
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. Make sure the sanding belt is installed in the correct direction. See directional arrow on back of belt. Feed work-
pieces against the direction of the rotation for maximum safety.
4. Keep hands away from the drum and belt during operation. Do not touch moving pieces. If cleaning is necessary,
use a brush to remove sawdust and chips instead of your hands.
5. Do not use sanding belts or drums that are damaged, torn, or loose. Use only the correct size sanding belt.
6. Always hold the workpiece firmly when sanding. Keep hands away from sanding belt or spindle. Sand only one
workpiece at a time.
7. Always hold the workpiece firmly on the table when using the sander.
8. Allow spindle to reach full speed before sanding. Do not forcefully jam a workpiece into the sanding surface.
Firmly hold the workpiece and lightly ease it against the spindle.
9. Always maintain a minimum clearance of 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or less between the table and the sanding belt.
