General Safety Rules

WARNING! Read all instructions

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in serious injury. The term “air tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your Air Belt Sander.

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 the Sander in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Air tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c.Keep children and bystanders away while operating an air tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2.Personal safety

a.Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the Sander. Do not use an air tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating air 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 conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c.Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the Sander on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the air tool may result in personal injury.

d.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the Sander in unexpected situations.

e.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.

3.Air tool use and care

a.Do not force the Sander. Use the correct air tool for your application. The correct air tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b.Do not use the Sander if the Control Lever (6) does not turn it on and off. Any air tool that cannot be controlled with the Control Lever is dangerous and must be repaired. When connecting the tool to the air supply, keep your hands off the Control Lever to avoid accidentally starting the tool.
