Unmodified plugs and matching out-  
lets will reduce risk of electric shock.  
b.use personal protective equip-  
ment. always wear anSi-approved  
safety eye protection and a dust-  
mask/respirator. Safety equipment  
such as non-skid safety shoes, a  
hard hat, or hearing protection used  
for appropriate conditions will reduce  
personal injuries.  
note: this Compact Belt Sander has a  
2-prong power Cord plug.  
b.avoid body contact with grounded  
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,  
ranges and refrigerators. There is  
an increased risk of electric shock if  
your body is grounded.

elry. keep your hair, clothing and  
gloves away from moving parts.  
Gloves, loose clothes, jewelry or long  
hair can be caught in moving parts  
causing serious personal injury.  
e.do not lay the Compact Belt  
Sander down until it has come to  
a complete stop. Moving parts can  
grab the surface and pull the tool out  
of your control.  
f. when using a handheld power  
tool, maintain a firm grip on the  
tool with both hands to resist start-  
ing torque.  
k.if devices are provided for the con-  
nection of dust extraction and col-  
lection facilities, ensure these are  
connected and properly used. Use  
of these devices can reduce dust-  
related hazards.  
g.do not leave the tool unattended  
when it is plugged into an electri-  
cal outlet. Turn off the tool, and un-  
plug it from its electrical outlet before

tenance.  
• Lead from lead-based paints  
• Crystalline silica from bricks and ce-  
ment or other masonry products  
• Arsenic and chromium from chemi-  
cally treated lumber  
Your risk from these exposures var-  
ies, depending on how often you do  
this type of work. To reduce your  
exposure to these chemicals: work in  
a well ventilated area, and work with  
approved safety equipment, such as  
those dust masks that are specially  
designed to filter out microscopic  
particles. (California Health & Safety  
Code § 25249.5, et seq.)  
b. 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.  
c. maintain labels and nameplates  
on the tool. These carry important  
safety information. If unreadable  
or missing, contact Harbor Freight

warning! Handling the cord on this  
product will expose you to lead,  
a chemical known to the State of  
California to cause cancer, and birth  
defects or other reproductive harm.  
Wash hands after handling. (Califor-  
nia Health & Safety Code § 25249.5,  
et seq.)  
warning! People with pacemakers  
should consult their physician(s)  
before use. Electromagnetic fields in  
close proximity to heart pacemaker  
could cause pacemaker interference  
or pacemaker failure. In addition,  
people with pacemakers should:

Vibration Safety  
This tool vibrates during use. Re-  
peated or long-term exposure to  
vibration may cause temporary or  
permanent physical injury, particularly  
to the hands, arms and shoulders. To  
reduce the risk of vibration-related  
injury:  
• Do not use with power switch locked  
on.  
• Properly maintain and inspect to  
avoid electrical shock.  
• Any power cord must be properly  
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Inter-  
rupter (GFCI) should also be imple-  
mented – it prevents sustained elec-  
trical shock.  
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regu-  
larly or for an extended period should  
first be examined by a doctor and  
then have regular medical check-  
ups to ensure medical problems are  
not being caused or worsened from  
use. Pregnant women or people  
who have impaired blood circulation
