Operator’s Manual GBS321A

• Know the location and operation of the switch trigger “Lock-ON” button. If

using the sander with the switch locked “ON”, be ready for emergency situations to switch it “OFF”.

Be sure to properly adjust the belt tracking so it doesn't overhang the tool

species and wood products can be injurious to your health. Always operate your sander in a well ventilated

illness.

•

Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care to

prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Ask

for and follow any safety information available from your material supplier.
