Belt Sander Safety Warnings; Functional Description - Makita M9400 Instruction Manual

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.

BELT SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the sanding surface may
contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
2. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
3. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
4. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.
5. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Make sure the belt is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on.
8. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
10. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.
