CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, always be sure the switch
is off before connecting the tool to power source.
To prevent excessive wear on both the sander and belt, NEVER
allow the abrasive belt to rub on the sander frame. To make sure
that the belt is tracking correctly, do the following:
1. Turn the tool over. Hold the rear handle with the left hand so that
the ring finger and the little finger rest on trigger.
2. Squeeze the trigger to start the motor.
3. Turn the belt aligning knob (L) in either direction until the edge of
the belt is even with the outer edge of the rear rubber-covered
pulley. The edge of the belt will extend beyond the edge of the
front pulley.
4. Release the trigger to stop the motor. Allow the tool to come to a
COMPLETE STOP before turning it over and putting it down.
Dust Collection (Fig. 3)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect it from power source before installing and
removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Empty dust collection system frequently, especially
when sanding resin-coated surfaces such as polyurethane, varnish,
shellac, etc. Dispose of coated dust particles according to the finish
manufacturer's guidelines, or place in a metal can with a tight fitting
metal lid. Remove coated dust particles from the premises daily.
The accumulation of fine sanding dust particles may self ignite and
cause fire.
WARNING: Shock hazard. The use of a vacuum hose and
vacuum adapter with the belt sander may generate static electricity
that could result in startling static discharge.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not use a dust collection device when
sanding metal. Doing so creates a fire hazard, which may cause
serious personal injury and/or damage to the tool.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, do not operate the tool
without a dust bag.
FIG. 3

To install the dust bag depress the spring clips (B) of the dust bag (A)
and clip the dust bag over the rib of the dust spout (C). For the most
efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is approximately half
full. Squeeze the spring clip and pull dust bag off vacuum housing,
unzip the rear of the bag, and shake out the dust. Every so often,
turn the bag inside out and brush the accumulated dust from the
inside.

regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
