the instructions.
1. This sander is designed to sand wood or wood-like products only. Sanding or grinding other materials could
result in fire, injury, or damage to the workpiece.
2. Use the sander on horizontal surfaces only. Operating the sander when mounted on non-horizontal surfaces may
result in motor damage or injury.
3. Fasten the sander securely to a bench top or supporting surface in order to stop it from tipping over or moving
when in use.
4. Make sure the sanding belt is installed in the correct direction. See directional arrow on back of belt.
