NANCE, OR CLEANING PROCEDURES.
17. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California)
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, and arsenic and chromium
from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemi-
cals: 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.

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1. CAUTION: Always turn the Power Switch (53) to its “OFF” position and un-
plug the Power Cord (55) from its 110 volt electrical outlet before perform-
ing any inspection, adjustments, maintenance, or cleaning.
2. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Belt/Disc Sander.
Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or
broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, excessively loose Sanding Belt (2) and
Sanding Disc (15), and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If
abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further
use. Do not use damaged equipment.
3. DAILY: Sanding Belts (2) and Sanding Discs (15) must be sharp and clean to
perform properly. Depending on materials sanded and frequency of tool use,
Sanding Belts and Sanding Discs become clogged with wood particles and dull.
Dull Sanding Belts and Sanding Discs rub the workpiece rather than cut, which
results in increased friction, higher temperatures, and a burned workpiece. As
often as possible, check the condition of the Sanding Belt and Sanding Disc and,
if necessary, replace a worn Sanding Belt and Sanding Disc with a new, 6” wide
by 48” Sanding Belt and 9” diameter Sanding Disc.
4. DAILY: With a soft brush, cloth, or vacuum, remove all sawdust and debris from
the Belt/Disc Sander. Then, use a premium quality, lightweight machine oil to
lubricate all moving parts.

LIMITED 1 YEAR / 90 DAY WARRANTY
Harbor Freight Tools Co. makes every effort to assure that its products meet high
quality and durability standards, and warrants to the original purchaser that for a period
of ninety days from date of purchase that the engine/motor, the belts (if so equipped),
and the blades (if so equipped) are free of defects in materials and workmanship. Harbor
Freight Tools also warrants to the original purchaser, for a period of one year from date of
purchase, that all other parts and components of the product are free from defects in ma-
terials and workmanship (90 days if used by a professional contractor or if used as rental
equipment). This warranty does not apply to damage due directly or indirectly, to misuse,
abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations outside our facilities, normal wear and
tear, or to lack of maintenance. We shall in no event be liable for death, injuries to persons
or property, or for incidental, contingent, special or consequential damages arising from
the use of our product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation of exclusion may not apply to you. THIS
WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS.
To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned to us with
transportation charges prepaid. Proof of purchase date and an explanation of the com-
plaint must accompany the merchandise. If our inspection verifies the defect, we will either
repair or replace the product at our election or we may elect to refund the purchase price
if we cannot readily and quickly provide you with a replacement. We will return repaired
products at our expense, but if we determine there is no defect, or that the defect resulted
from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must bear the cost of returning
the product.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.
