SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on the
tool, turn switch OFF and remove the plug from
power source.
• Recheck table knobs. They must be tightened
securely.
• Make sure all guards are properly attached. All
guards should be securely fastened.
• Make sure all moving parts are free and clear of any
interference.
• Make sure all fasteners are tight and have not
vibrated loose.
• With power disconnected, test operation by hand for
clearance and adjust if necessary.
• Always wear eye protection or face shield.
• Make sure abrasive belt always tracks properly.
Correct tracking gives optimum performance.
• After turning switch on, always allow belt to come up
to full speed before sanding or grinding.
• Be sure motor runs clockwise on disc side. Abrasive
belt must travel down.
• Avoid kickback by sanding in accordance with the
directional arrows.
• Keep your hands clear of abrasive belt, disc and all
moving parts.
• For optimum performance, do not stall motor or
reduce speed. Do not force the work into the abrasive.
• Support workpiece with belt table when sanding with
belt, with disc table when sanding with disc.
• Never push a sharp corner of the workpiece rapidly
against the belt or disc. Abrasive backing may tear.
