SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE BELT SANDER
9. Always sand on the downward side of the sanding disc when using the disc sander. Sanding on the upward side
of the disc can cause the workpiece to fly out of position, resulting in injury.
10. Always maintain a minimum clearance of 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or less between the table or backstop and the
sanding belt or disc.
11. Do not sand pieces of material that are too small to be safely supported.
12. When sanding a large workpiece, provide additional table height support.
13. Do not sand with the workpiece unsupported. Support the workpiece with the backstop or table. The only ex-
ception is curved work performed on the outer sanding drum.
14. Always remove scrap pieces and other objects from the table, backstop, or belt before turning the sander ON.
15. Never perform layout, assembly or set-up work on the table while the sander is operating.
16. Never use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Use only a
soft damp cloth to clean plastic parts.
17. Should any component of your sander be missing/damaged or fail in any way, shut off switch and remove plug
from power supply outlet. Replace the missing, damaged, or failed parts before resuming operation.
18. Never pull the power cord out of the receptacle. Keep cords away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
19. Have an electrician replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
