Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and serious injury. To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug in your tool until the following steps have been read and understood. WORK AREA SAFETY 1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES 2. Check power tool for damaged parts. Check for misalignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation.

Do not force the tool to do a job for which it was not designed.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE SANDER 4. Securing the Workpiece Never hold the workpiece in your hand or across your legs. Small workpieces must be adequately secured so that the rotating belt doesn’t pick them up during the forward motion of the sander. Unstable support causes the belt to bind, resulting in a loss of control and possible injury. 5.
