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:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.



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.

• Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas

with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your

mouth, eyes, or lie on the skin may promote absorption

of harmfulchemicals. Direct particles away from face

andbody.



WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing

protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)

during use. Under some conditions and duration

of use, noise from this product may contribute to

hearingloss.

• Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove

the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure

to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the

working environment or pose an increased health risk to

the operator and those in closeproximity.

• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding

Cleaning and Disposal

• All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed

and 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

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

should be washed thoroughly before being usedagain.

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

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

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 in

the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint

particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE

eating, drinking or smoking. 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

minimize the amount of dustgenerated.

• Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed

with plastic sheeting of 4milsthickness.

• Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking

of paint dust outside the workarea.

• Sanding of lead‑based paint, chemically pressure

treated 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

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 sander handles to prevent loss ofcontrol.

• ALWAYS keep fingers away from the moving belt

and areas where the belt enters the housing to avoid

severeabrasion.

• Do not operate belt sander without all guards and

covers securely inplace.

• To avoid injury, do not use this tool in a stand that

would invert it for use as a stationary belt sander. This

tool is not made for thatapplication.
