1.DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury.

2.OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.

3.FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections to prevent shock or electrocution.

4.NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON” before clearing the table/work area of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.). Flying debris is dangerous.

5. NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON” with the work-piece contacting the abrasive surface. Kickback can occur.

6.SECURE THE MACHINE to a supporting surface. Vibration can cause the machine to slide, walk, or tip over.

7.COVER THE POWER TAKE-OFF SHAFT when not using accessories. Unguarded rotating shafts can create an entanglement hazard which can result in injury.

8.USE A DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM. Some types of wood are known to cause disease or other health problems.

9.FIRE HAZARD CLEAN THE MACHINE and dust collector thoroughly when processing different types of workpieces (wood, steel, or aluminum). Combining wood and metal dust can create an explosion or fire hazard. DO NOT SAND OR POLISH MAGNESIUM. Fire will result.

10.PREVENT THE WORKPIECE from contacting the sanding belt before starting the tool. Loss of control of the workpiece is dangerous.

11.AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the abrasive disc or belt.

12.MAINTAIN A MAXIMUM CLEARANCE OF 1/16 IN. between the table and the abrasive disc or belt. The workpiece could be drawn into the space between the abrasive disc or belt and the table.

13.SUPPORT THE WORKPIECE firmly with a miter gauge, backstop, or work table when sanding with a belt. Hold the workpiece firmly. Loss of control of the workpiece can result in injury.

14.AVOID KICKBACK by sanding in accordance with the directional arrows. Feed the workpiece against the downward rotation side of the disc or the forward rotation of the belt. Loss of control of the workpiece can result in injury.

15.DO NOT SAND very small or very thin workpieces that cannot be safely controlled. Loss of control of the workpiece can result in injury.

16.PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORKPIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece is dangerous.

17.NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR SET-UP WORK on the table/work area when the machine is running. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the abrasive surface. Severe injury can result.
