Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
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 damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the belt may contact its
own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Never leave the trigger locked "ON".
Before plugging the tool in, check that the
trigger lock is "OFF". Accidental start-ups
could cause injury.
Unplug the sander before changing
accessories. Accidental start-ups may occur
if sander is plugged in while changing an
accessory.
Keep your fingers and clothing away from
the belt. They could get cut or wedged
between the pulley, belt and motor housing.
Properly adjust tracking of belt to avoid it
overhanging the housing. A running belt
overhanging its housing can cause severe
lacerations.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking 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.
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.

Belt Sander Safety Rules

Be aware of the location and setting of
the Switch "Lock-ON" Button. If the switch
is locked "ON", be ready for emergency
situations to switch it "OFF", by first pulling
the trigger then immediately releasing it
without pressing the "Lock-ON" button.
Keep the cord to the side away from
pulleys. The cord can be dragged into belt
housing and become entangled with the
pulleys.
Clamp or secure workpiece when
sanding. Clamping the workpiece prevents it
from being ejected from under the sander
and leaves both hands to control the tool.
Clamp or secure sander if it is inverted
and bench mounted for use as a table
sander. Always use edge stop or guide
when sanding short or small workpieces.
Fingers or clothing can be dragged into
pulley and housing area.
