SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
• Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on the tool, turn
switch OFF and remove the plug from power source.
• Recheck table handles. 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 to verify
clearance and adjust if necessary.
• Always wear eye protection or face shield.
• Make sure abrasive belt 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.
• 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
belt or disc. Abrasive backing may tear.
• Replace abrasives when they become loaded (glazed)or
frayed.
• When grinding metal, move workpiece acrossabrasive to
prevent heat built up.
• Never attempt wet sanding.If the workpiece becomes too
hot to handle, cool it in water.
