When not in use, before servicing, and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits and
cutters.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches

part that is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly and per-
form its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center unless
otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction
manual. Have defective switches replaced by

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cut-
ting 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. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
3. Make sure the belt is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on.
4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the
tool only when hand-held.
6. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do
not use water on the workpiece surface.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing abrasive belt (Fig. 1 & 2)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the belt.
Pull the lever all the way out and install the belt over
the rollers, then return the lever to the original posi-
tion.
CAUTION:
When installing the belt, make sure that the direction
of the arrow on the back of the belt corresponds to
the one on the tool itself.
Adjusting belt tracking (Fig. 3)
While the belt is running, use the adjusting knob to
center the belt tracking.
Dust bag (Fig. 4 & 5)
Attach the dust bag onto the dust nozzle. The dust
nozzle is tapered. When attaching the dust bag, push
it onto the dust nozzle firmly as far as it will go to pre-
vent it from coming off during operation. For the best
results, empty the dust bag when it becomes about
half full, tapping it lightly to remove as much dust as
possible.
Switch action (Fig. 6)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns
to the "OFF" position when released.
• The tool should not be in contact with the work-
piece surface when you turn the tool on or off. Oth-
erwise a poor sanding finish or damage of the belt
may result.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the
trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trig-
ger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool
from the locked position, pull the trigger fully, then
release it.
Sanding operation
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on
and wait until it attains full speed. Then gently place
the tool on the workpiece surface. Keep the belt flush
with the workpiece at all times and move the tool
back and forth. Never force the tool. The weight of
the tool applies adequate pressure. Excessive pres-
sure may cause stalling, overheating of the motor,
burning of the workpiece and possible kickback.
