4
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may
become hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result
in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.
1. Use proper safety equipment. Wear safety goggles for eye protection,
wear hearing protection, and wear a protective mask to minimize
breathing in the fine dust created while sanding.
2. Sanding of lead-based paint is not recommended. Lead-based paint
should only be removed by a professional.
3. Hold tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of
the tool “live” and shock the operator.
4. Always maintain a firm grip on the belt sander handles with both hands
to prevent loss of control.
5. Do not operate belt sander without all guards and covers securely in
place.
6. Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra
care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these
materials. Request and follow any safety information available from your
material supplier.
This tool was designed for certain applications. DO NOT

Porter-Cable and we have advised you.
