thickness of the mounting board.
NOTE: For proper stability, holes must be counter sunk
so screw heads are flush with the bottom surface of
supporting board.
CAUTION:
To avoid Injury from tool movement,
supporting surface where belt and disc sander Is

•

Remove all traces of wood dust from Inside the
sander.

•

Remove all traces of metal dust from Inside the
sander before sanding wood again.

Dress for safety,

• Sand only one workpiece at a time.

Any power sander can throw foreign objects into the
eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage. Wear
safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI
Z87.1 (shown on package). Everyday eyeglasses have
only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.
Safety goggles are available at Sears retail catalog
stores. Glasses orgoggles not in compliance with ANSI
Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

° Clear everything except the workpiece and related
support devices off the table before tumingthe sander
on.

Plan the way you wll! hold the workptece from start
to finish.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into a
sanding surface. Keep fingers away from where the belt
goes into the dust trap.

o Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and
draw you into moving parts.

DON'T OVERREACH.

• Wear nonslip footwear.

Keep good footing and balance.

Tie back long hair.

Keep your face and body to one side, out of line with a
possible throwback.

Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

WHENEVER

SANDER

iS RUNNING

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from frequent use of your belt and disc sander) cause a
careless mistake. A careless fraction of a second is
enough to cause a severe Injury.

• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing
damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using sander
for hours at a time.
• Sanding operations are usually dusty. Wear a dust
mask along with the safety goggles.

Before startingyour work, watch the sander while it runs.
If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop
immediately. Turn the sander off. Unplug the sander.
Do not restart until finding and correcting the problem.

Hnspect your workplece
Make sure there are no naits or foreign objectsin the part
of the workpiece to be sanded.

Make sure the sanding disc turns counterclockwise
before using the sander.

Plan your work to avoid THROWBACKS - when the
workplececatches on the sanding belt or d|sc and is
torn from you r hands,

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Keep all visitors a safe
distance from the sander. Make sure bystanders are
clear of the sander and workpiece.

• Make sure t;_ere's no debris between the workpiece
and its supports.

DON'T FORCE TOOL, It will do the job better and safer
at its designed rate. Press the workpiece against the
sanding material only hard enough to let it sand without
bogging down or binding.

° When sanding irregularly shaped workpieces, plan
your work support so it will not slip and be pulled from
your hands.
• Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward
workpieces.

Before freeing any jammed material:

• Never use this tootto finish piecestoo small to hold by
hand.

• Unplugthe sander.

• Turn swftch "OFF."

- Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.)
for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held
down to the table top.
,

BEFORE

LEAVING

THE SANDER:

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED_
TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to
a complete stop.

NEVER use another person as a substitute for a table
extension, or as additional support for a workpiece
that is longer or wider than the basic sander table, or
to help feed, support, or pull the workpiece.

MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF. Lock the shop.
Disconnect master switches. Remove the yellow switch
key. Store it awayfromchiidren and others not qualified
to use the tool.

When f inishingon thedisc, a_ways press thewo_.piece
against the "Down" side of the disc. Sanding against
the side coming up from under the table could damage the work by making it "chatter," or tear the work
from your hands and throw it.

Do not apply wax to the abrasive belt table because the
belt could pick up the wax and deposit iton the pulleys,
causing the belt to slip.

LUBRICATION
The BALL BEARINGS in this machine are packed with
grease at the factory. They require no further lubrication.
