INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1.WARNING! Make sure the Power Switch (27) of the Belt Sander is in its “OFF” position and the tool is unplugged from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures. (See Figure E.)
2.Before each use: Inspect the general condition of the Belt Sander. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
