Harbor Freight Tools 05154 - Manual (Page 10)

21. Allow the Sanding Disc (11) and Sanding Belt (45) to spin up to full speed
before feeding a workpiece into them. When turning off the Sander, allow the
Sanding Disc and Sanding Belt to slow down and stop on their own. Do not
press against the Disc or Belt to stop them.
22. Feed the workpiece into the Sanding Disc (12) and Sanding Belt (45)
gradually and into the direction of rotation. Do not attempt to force the
Sander to remove material faster than it was designed to cut.
23. To avoid damage to the machine, allow approximately 1/16” clearance
between the Sanding Belt (45) and Work Support (33). Also allow approxi-
mately 1/16” clearance between the Sanding Disc (12) and the Work Table
(13).
24. When sanding a large workpiece, make sure its entire length is properly
supported.
25. Never attempt to remove material stuck in the moving parts of the Sander
while it is plugged in and running.
26. Always turn the Power Switch (30) to its “OFF” position and unplug the
Power Cord (29) from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection,
maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
25. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of Cali-
fornia) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some ex-
amples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica
from bricks and cement or other masonry products, 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.
