4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your ap‑
plication. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, chang‑
ing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to oper‑
ate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If dam‑
aged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to
control.

Belt Sander Safety Warnings

1. Hold power tools by insulated grip‑
ping 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. Maintain labels and nameplates on
the tool. These carry important safety
information. If unreadable or miss-
ing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
3. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare
to begin work before turning on the
tool.
4. Do not lay the tool down until it has
come to a complete stop. Moving
parts can grab the surface and pull
the tool out of your control.
5. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with
both hands to resist starting torque.
6. Do not leave the tool unattended
when it is plugged into an electrical
outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it
from its electrical outlet before leav-
ing.
