GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Before using, check to make sure parts are not damaged,
missing, or worn; check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, improper mounting, or any other
conditions that may affect the sander operation. Should
any of these conditions exist, do not use the
belt/disc sander until properly repaired or parts are
replaced. Frequently blow or vacuum dust from all sanding
parts and motor housing.
WARNING
Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this tool
may be hazardous. Repairs should be done by a qualified
