ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
2. Use proper safety equipment. Wear safety goggles for eye protection,
wear hearing protection, and wear a protective mask to minimize breathing
in the fine dust created while sanding.
3. Always disconnect the sander cord plug from the power circuit before
changing abrasive sheets. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Sanding of lead-based paint is not recommended. Lead-based paint
should only be removed by a professional.
5. Always maintain a firm grip on the belt sander handles with both hands to
prevent loss of control.
6. Do not operate belt sander without all guards and covers securely in
place.
7. Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT. Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1
standards. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 standards.
8. Use of this tool can generate and disburse dust or
other airborne particles, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust
and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always
operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal.
Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may
cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis
(a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and
avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or
eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material.
Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and
water.
