4.Power tool use and care
a.Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your ap‑ plication. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b.Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be con- trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, chang‑ ing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety mea- sures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d.Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to oper‑ ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e.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 dam‑ aged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g.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 differ- ent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5.Service
a.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 Warnings
1.Hold power tools by insulated grip‑ ping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a ″ live″ wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool ″ live″ and shock the operator.
2.Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or miss- ing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
3.Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
4.Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
5.When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to resist starting torque.
6.Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leav- ing.
