NSTRUCT ONS

READ and become familiar with this entire instruction
manual. LEARN the tool's applications, limitations, and
possible hazards.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE
PROTECTION. Any belt/disc
sander can throw foreign
objects into the eyes which
could cause permanent eye
damage. ALWAYS wear Safety
Goggles (not glasses) that
comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses. They
ARE NOT safety glasses. Safety Goggles are available
at Sears. NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance
with ANSI 7_87.1could seriously hurt you when they break,

t3. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK.
Sanding operation produces dust.
14. SECURE WORK _.Use clamps or a vise to hold work
when practical. It's safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES,
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning ON.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing, and when
changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters,
and the like.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
Make sure the switch is in OFF position before
plugging in.

DON'T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONiVIENT.
Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or
expose them to rain. Keep work area welt lighted.

I7. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES, Consult the
owner's manual for the recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause risk of
injury to persons.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Al! visitors should be kept at
a safe distance from the work area.
MAKE WORKSHOP KiD PROOF with padlocks master
switches, or by removing starter keys.

18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur
if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.

DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

t9. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of
the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it wii! operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

USE THE R_GHT TOOL. Don't force tool or the
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

t0. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord wilt cause a drop in fine voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. The table on page5 shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED,
TURN THE POWER OFF. Don't leave the tool until
it comes to a complete stop.

GROUNDUNG

tNSTRUCTRONS

iNTHE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This toot
is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL
local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODiFYTHE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the
receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
iMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,
DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to
a live terminal.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a
receptacle like the one illustrated in FIGURE A.
FIGURE A shows a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle
that has a grounding conductor, if a properly grounded
receptacle is not available, an adapter (FIGURE B) can
be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact
ungrounded receptacle. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded receptacle can
be installed by a qualified technician. The adapter
(FIGURE B) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST
be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a
properly grounded receptacle box. The Canadian
Electrical Code prohibits the use of adapters.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in
question is properly grounded. If you are not sure have a
certified electrician check the receptacle.

This belt / disc sandejr is for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or use in damp locations.

Fig. A

CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you do not completely understand the grounding instructions,
or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

CORDS

Fig. B
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The table below shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before
using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit
must not be less than #12 wire and should be protected
with a 15 Amp time tag fuse. Before connecting the motor
to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the electric current is rated the same as the
current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a
lower voltage will damage the motor.

SANDING OPERATIONS
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury andlor damage to the
workpiece,
become familiar with the rotation of the belt and
disc sanding surfaces.
The belt sander rotates clockwise, or downward toward
the table. The disc sander also rotates clockwise,
downward
