• Empty dust bag frequently. Especially when sanding resin
coated surfaces such as polyurethane, varnish, shellac,
etc. The accumulation of fine sanding dust particles may self
ignite and cause fire.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration
caused by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent
injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra
cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.
• Sanding of lead-based paint, chemically pressure treated
lumber or other materials that may contain carcinogens is
not recommended. Sanding of these materials should only be
performed by a professional.
• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust
and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior
surfaces and could create a risk of serious injury, electric shock
or electrocution. ALWAYS disconnect the sander from the power
source before cleaning. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
that conform to ANSI Z87.1.
• ALWAYS disconnect tool from the power source before
changing abrasive belts or sheets. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• ALWAYS maintain a firm grip with both hands on the belt
sander handles with both hands to prevent loss of control.
• ALWAYS keep fingers away from the moving belt and areas
where the belt enters the housing to avoid severe abrasion.
• Do not operate belt sander without all guards and covers
securely in place.
• To avoid injury, do not use this tool in a stand that would
invert it for use as a stationary belt sander. This tool is not
made for that application.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size for safety.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. When using more than one extension
to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension
contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
