  • Make sure the sanding belt is installed in the direction indicated on the belt and sander.
  • Inspect the sanding belt before using them. Replace worn or frayed belts.

  • Keep all cords clear of the sanding area during operation.
  • Clean dust from the motor and vents at regular intervals.
  • Do not exert excessive pressure upon the moving sander.
