General Safety Rules
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1)Work area safety
a)Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b)Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c)Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2)Electrical safety
a)Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b)Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c)Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d)Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-pronggrounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
e)When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A or W following the cord type designation. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line volt- age resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets
Volts | Total Length of Cord in Feet | | |
120V | 0-25 | 26-50 | 51-100 | 101-150 |
| | | |
Ampere Rating | Gauge of wire in AWG units | | |
From 0 to 6 amps | 18 | 16 | 16 | 14 |
3)Personal safety
a)Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a pow- er tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b)Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate condi- tions will reduce personal injuries.
c)Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d)Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e)Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f)Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g)If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust- related hazards.
4)Power tool use and care
a)Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The cor- rect 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 controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, chang- ing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures 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 unfamil- iar with the power tool or these instructions to operate 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 tools 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 instruc- tions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different 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 re- placement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
To reduce the risk of injury:
•Hold tool by insulated gripping 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.
•Do not sand metal of any kind with your belt sander. Sparks may be generated by sanding screws, nails or other metals which may ignite dust particles.
•Do not wet sand with this sander. Liquids may enter the motor housing and cause electric shock.
•Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.
•Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create a risk of serious injury, electric shock or electrocution. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
•Ventilate your work area adequately when performing sanding operations.
•Make sure the sanding belt is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
•Be sure to clamp or secure sander if it is inverted and bench mounted for use as a table sander. When using any accessory that converts a belt sander in this manner, be sure to read and follow all instructions included with the accessory. Always use the included safety features with the accessory, such as the edge stop or guide, when sanding short or small workpieces. Fingers or clothing can be dragged into pulley and housing area if guards are not in place. Also, be aware of the switch location and know how to shut off the tool in emergency situations.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other con- struction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other repro- ductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
•lead from lead-based paints,
•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection ap- propriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. (ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)) Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR PAINT REMOVAL
Extreme care should be taken when removing paint. The peelings, residue, and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage. Young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
Before beginning any paint removal process you should determine whether the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local health department or by a professional who uses a paint analyzer to check for lead.
Lead-based paint should only be removed by a professional.
Persons removing paint should follow these guidelines:
1.Keep the work area well ventilated. Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving air from inside to outside.
2.Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils, and air ducts. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of exposure.
3.Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint chips or peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls and hats. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of exposure.
4.Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed or placed in the center of the room and covered. Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing doorways with drop cloths.
5.Children, pregnant (or potentially pregnant) women and nursing mothers should not be present in the work area until the work is done and all cleanup is complete. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of injury.
6.Wear a dust respirator or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask which has been approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH), or the United States Bureau of Mines. These masks and replaceable filters are readily available at major hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and facial hair may keep the masks from sealing properly. Change filters often.
DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.
7.Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands, arms, and face and rinse mouth before eating or drinking. Do not smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the work area.
8.Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all walls, sills and any other surfaces where paint or dust is clinging. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACUUM. Use a high phosphate detergent or trisodium (TSP) to wash and mop areas.
9.At the end of each work session, put the paint chips and debris in a double plastic bag, close it with tape or twist ties and dispose properly. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of exposure.
10.Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to avoid carrying dust into the rest of the dwelling. Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes off with a wet rag, then wash that rag with the work clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly with soap and water.
