damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using sander

for hours at a time.

•Sanding operations are usually dusty. Wear adust

mask along with the safety goggles.

Hnspect your workplece

Make sure there are no naits orforeign objectsin the part

of the workpiece to be sanded.

Plan your work to avoid THROWBACKS - when the

workplececatches on the sanding belt or d|sc and is

torn from you r hands,

•Make sure t;_ere's no debris between the workpiece

and its supports.

°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.

•Never use this tootto finish piecestoo small to hold by

hand.

•Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.)

for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held

down to the table top.

, 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.

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 dam-

age the work by making it "chatter," or tear the work

from your hands and throw it.

•Sand only one workpiece at a time.

°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.

DON'T OVERREACH. Keep good footing and balance.

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

possible throwback.

WHENEVER SANDER iS RUNNING

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre-

quent use of your belt and disc sander) cause a

careless mistake. A careless fraction of a second is

enough to cause a severe Injury.

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.

Make sure the sanding disc turns counterclockwise

before using the sander.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Keep all visitors a safe

distance from the sander. Make sure bystanders are

clear of the sander and workpiece.

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.

Before freeing any jammed material:

• Turn swftch "OFF."

• Unplugthe sander.

- Wait for all moving parts to stop.

BEFORE LEAVING THE SANDER:

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED_

TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to

a complete stop.

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.

SURFACE SANDING ON THE SANDING

BELT

WARNING: To avoid injury from slips, jams or

thrown pieces, adjust the backstop to clear the

sanding surface by no more than 1/16 of an inch.

When checking clearance between the belt and

work support, press the belt flat against the metal

beneath It.

Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands, keeping

fingers away from the sanding belt.

Keep the end butted against the backstop and move the

work evenly across the sanding belt. Use extra caution

when sanding very thin pieces.

For sanding long pieces, remove the work support.

Apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding belt to

remove material.

END SANDING ON THE SANDING BELT

It is more convenient to sand the ends of long work-

pieces with sanding belt in avertical position.

See "Basic Operation - Positioning Belt Bed" for adjust-

ing the belt bed, and see "Assembly - Installing Table

Asse mbty" for adjusting worktable.

Move the work evenly across the sanding belt. For

accuracy, use a miter gauge (accessory). ASSEMBLY

SANDING CURVED EDGES

Always sand inside curves on the idler drum as shown.

WARNING: Never attempt to sand the ends of a

workplece on the Idler d rum. Applying the end of the

workplece to the idler drum could cause the work-

piece to fly up and result in an injury.

If power cord isworn orcut, ordamaged inanyway, have

it replaced immediately.

Frequently blow out or vacuum out any dust that may

accumulate inside the motor.

A coat of automobile-type wax applied to the worktable

will make it easier to feed the work while finishing.
