,1_ WARNING: Keep hands and fingers clear of moving sanding belt, front idler roller, and drive roller assembly. Failure to do so wilt result in serious personal injury. _IL WARNING: Do not let your fingers rest over the front or right edge of the sander. If the sanding belt were to run off, or if it were not properly adjusted, your fingers could come in contact with the moving sanding belt resulting in possible serious injury. HELPFUL TIPS • If the sanding belt slips or does not track while sanding, you may be applying too much pressure. When this occurs, remove the sander from the workpiece. If you properly adjust the belt tracking, the sanding belt wilt return to its normal and correct position on the drive roller and front roller. • Use a coarser sanding belt for heavy sanding, not heavy pressure. The weight of the tool is sufficient to provide adequate pressure at the correct location. • The front roller of the sander is not designed for contour sanding. Sanding on the front roller could cause irregularity in the sanding belt tracking. Fig. 10 14 ,_ WARNING: When servicing, use only identical Craftsman replacement parts.

Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc. dt_ WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic. Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend using this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air. _ WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask. Failure to do so could result in possible serious injury. LUBRICATION All the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the tool under normal operating conditions.
