facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POwER TOOL USE AND CARE

power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.

Belt Sander Safety warnings

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the belt may contact its
own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
• Always use proper eye protection and a respirator when sanding.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
• Sanding of lead-based paint is not recommended. See Sanding Lead Based Paint
for additional information before sanding paint.
• Clean your tool out periodically.
wARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive 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.
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.
