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.
