Warning! Fire hazard. When sanding wood that could
contain nails, or when sanding metal surfaces, do not use the
dust bag or a vacuum cleaner because sparks are generated.
Wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Due to the danger
of fire, do not use your belt sander to sand magnesium
surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration
u
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.
Sanding of lead-based paint, chemically pressure treated
u
lumber or other materials that may contain carcinogens
is not recommended. Sanding of these materials should
only be performed by a professional.
ALWAYS disconnect tool from the power source
u
before changing abrasive belts. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
ALWAYS maintain a firm grip with both hands on the belt
u
sander handles to prevent loss of control.
ALWAYS keep fingers away from the moving belt
u
and areas where the belt enters the housing to avoid
severe abrasion.
Do not operate belt sander without all guards and covers
u
securely in place.
To avoid injury, do not use this tool in a stand that would
u
invert it for use as a stationary belt sander. This tool is not
made for that application.
Specific Safety Warnings and Instructions: Sanders
Sanding Lead-Based Paint
Sanding of lead-based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to
the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest
danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains
lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following
precautions when sanding any paint:
Personal Safety
No children or pregnant women should enter the work
u
area where the paint sanding is being done until all
clean-up is completed.
A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons
u
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily
or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
Note: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead
paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks
do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for
the proper (NIOSH approved) mask.
NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done
u
in the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint
particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE
eating, drinking or smoking.
(Original instructions)
Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the
work area where dust would settle on them.
Environmental Safety
Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
u
minimize the amount of dust generated.
Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
u
with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking
u
of paint dust outside the work area.
Cleaning and Disposal
All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and
u
thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding
project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently.
Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed
u
of along with any dust chips or other removal debris.
They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and
disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures.
During clean-up, children and pregnant women should be
kept away from the immediate work area.
All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children
u
should be washed thoroughly before being used again.
Additional Safety Information
Warning! Never modify the power tool or any part of it.
Damage or personal injury could result.
Warning! ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
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,
u
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
u
masonry products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
u
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.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
u
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth,
eyes, or lie on the skin may promote absorption of harm-
ful chemicals. Direct particles away from face and body.
Residual risks.
Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which
may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings.
