OPERATION WARNING: Do not let your fingers rest over the front or right edge of the sander. If the sanding belt were to run off, or if it were not properly adjusted, your fingers could come in contact with the moving sanding belt resulting in possible serious injury. WARNING: The sander is designed to be operated as shown with both hands on the tool at all times for maximum control. Never operate the tool overhead or inverted from the proper operating position; serious personal injury could result. HELPFUL TIPS If the sanding belt slips or does not track while sanding, you may be applying too much pressure. When this occurs, remove the sander from the workpiece. If you properly adjust the belt tracking, the sanding belt will return to its normal and correct position on the drive roller and front roller. Use a coarser sanding belt for heavy sanding, not heavy pressure. The weight of the tool is sufficient to provide adequate pressure at the correct location. The front roller of the sander is not designed for contour sanding. Sanding on the front roller could cause irregularity in the sanding belt tracking. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: This product and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. 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 exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. 9 - English
