Power tool use and care

a.

Do not force the power tool. Use

the correct power tool for your ap‑

plication. The correct power tool will

do the job better and safer at the rate

for which it was designed.

b.

Do not use the power tool if the

switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be con-

trolled with the switch is dangerous

and must be repaired.

c.

Disconnect the plug from the

power source and/or the battery

pack from the power tool before

making any adjustments, chang‑

ing accessories, or storing power

tools. Such preventive safety mea-

sures reduce the risk of starting the

power tool accidentally.

d.

Store idle power tools out of the

reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to oper‑

ate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained

users.

e.

Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If dam‑

aged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained power

tools.

f.

Keep cutting tools sharp and

clean. Properly maintained cutting

tools with sharp cutting edges are

less likely to bind and are easier to

control.

g.

Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits etc. in accordance

with these instructions, taking into

account the working conditions

and the work to be performed. Use

of the power tool for operations differ-

ent from those intended could result

in a hazardous situation.

5.

Service

a.

Have your power tool serviced by

a qualified repair person using

only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the

power tool is maintained.

Belt Sander Safety Warnings

1.

Hold power tools by insulated grip‑

ping 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.

2. Maintain labels and nameplates on

the tool. These carry important safety

information. If unreadable or miss-

ing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a

replacement.

3. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare

to begin work before turning on the

tool.

4. Do not lay the tool down until it has

come to a complete stop. Moving

parts can grab the surface and pull

the tool out of your control.

5. When using a handheld power tool,

maintain a firm grip on the tool with

both hands to resist starting torque.

6. Do not leave the tool unattended

when it is plugged into an electrical

outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it

from its electrical outlet before leav-

ing.
