WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Collected sanding dust from
sanding surface coatings (polyurethane, linseed oil,
etc.) can self-ignite in sander dust bag or elsewhere
and cause fire. To reduce risk, empty bag frequently
and strictly follow sander manual and coating
manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING: Fire hazard. When sanding wood that
could contain nails, or when sanding metal surfaces,
do not use the dust bag or a vacuum cleaner because
sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dust
mask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your belt
sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for
wet sanding.
When using your belt sander, dust and grit are produced.
It is important to use a dust bag. Connect the dust bag
by sliding the plastic opening of the bag down over the
dust exhaust port

of the sander. To empty the dust
bag, remove it from the sander and unzip the bag over a
trash container.
