SAFETY RULES

WARNING: For your own safety, read all of the instructions
and precautions before operating tool.
CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:
WARNING
Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining
wood products can expose you to wood dust, a
substance known to the State of California to cause
cancer. Avoid inhaling wood dust or use a dust mask or
other safeguards for personal protection. For more
information go to www.P65Wamings.ca.gov/wood.
Your risk from these exposures vary, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with
approved safety equipment. Always wear OSHA/NIOSH
approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using
such tools.
CAUTION: Always follow proper operating procedures as
defined in this manual even if you are familiar with use of this
or similar tools. Remember that being careless for even a
fraction of a second can result in severe personal injury.
BE PREPARED FOR JOB
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts of machine.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
• Wear safety glasses complying with United States ANSI
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.
• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.
• Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools
when tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that
cause drowsiness.
PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB
• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite
accidents.
• Do not use power tools in dangerous environments.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations.
Do not expose power tools to rain.
• Work area should be properly lighted.
• Proper electrical receptacle should be available for tool.
Three-prong plug should be plugged directly into properly
grounded, three-prong receptacle.
• Extension cords should have a grounding prong and the
three wires of the extension cord should be of the
correct gauge.
• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
• Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop
childproof. Use padlocks, master switches or remove
switch keys to prevent any unintentional use of power
tools.
TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting
procedures.
• Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.
• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see
that adjusting tools are removed before switching
machine on.
• Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that
the guard or other parts will operate properly and
perform their intended function.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any other
condition that may affect a tool's operation.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs.
(Use parts list provided to order replacement parts.)
KNOW HOWTO USE TOOL
• Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed.
• Sander MUST be used with Dust Collector to capture
dust.
• Disconnect tool when changing belt or abrasive disc.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool is in
the "OFF" position before plugging in.
• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate
for which it was designed.
• Keep hands away from moving parts and sanding
surfaces.
• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off
and do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is
tipped or if belt or disc are unintentionally contacted.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool's operation, application
and specific limitations.
• Use recommended accessories (refer to page 10). Use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• Handle the workpiece correctly. Protect hands from
possible injury.
• Turn machine off if it jams. Belt jams when it digs too
deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in
the work.)
• Support workpiece with miter gauge, belt platen or work
table.
• Maintain 1/16" maximum clearance between table and
sandinbelt or disc.
CAUTION: Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator
common sense and alertness at all times when tool is being
used.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate tool until it is
completely assembled according to the instructions.
