operation. Connect to a 120V, 15 AMP branch circuit and

.use a 15 AMP time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid

shock or fire. replace power cord immediately if it is worn.

cut or damaged in any way.

Some dust created by power sanding sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains 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.

@ Crystalline.silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, 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 you r eXposure to

these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as [hose dust masks

that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

SPECmFUC SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

FOR BELT/DgSC SANDER

For your own safety, do not try to use your belt /disc sander

or plug it in until it is completely assembled and installed

according to the instructions, and until you have read and

understood this instruction manual:

1. USE sander on horizontal surfaces only. Operating

the sander when mounted on non-h0rizontal surfaces

might result in motor damage.

2. TO STOP it from tipping over or moving when in use,

the sander must be securely fastened to a bench top

or supporting surface.

3. PLACE the sander so neither the user nor bystanders

are forced to stand in line with the abrasive belt or disc.

4. MAKE SURE the sanding be_t is installed in the correct

direction. See directional arrow on back of belt,

ALWAYS have the tracking adjusted properly so the

belt does not run off the pulleys.

DO NOT k SE sanding belts or discs that are damaged,

torn, loose. Use only correct size sanding bett and disc.

Narrower belts uncover parts that could trap fingers.

MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in

the part of the workpiece to be sanded.

8. ALWAYS HOLD the workpiece firmly when sanding.

Keep hands away from sanding belt or disc. Sand

only one workpiece at a time.

9. ALWAYS HOLD the workpiece firmly on the table

when using the disc sander and when using the belt

sander.

10. ALWAYS SAND ON THE DOWNWARD SiDE of the

sanding disc when using the disc sander. Sanding on

ALWAYS maintain a minimum clearance of 1/16 inch

between the table or backstop and the sanding belt or

disc.

DO NOT sand pieces of material that are too small to

be safely supported.

KEEP fingers away from where the belt goes into the-

dust trap.

WHEN sanding a large workpiece, provide additional

support at table height.

DO NOT sand with the workpiece unsupported.

Support the workpiece with the backstop or table. The

only exception is curved work performed on the outer

sanding drum. Plan your work support.

NEVER USE ANOTHER PERSON as additional

support for a workpiece longer or wider than the table.

ALWAYS remove scrap pieces and other objects from

the table, backstop or belt before turning the sander

"ON."

NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work on the

table while the sander is operating.

NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents

could dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Use

only a soft damp cloth to clean plastic parts.

stream of water on the workpiece. Dip or quench

the workpiece in water to cod it.

o DO NOT OVERHEAT THE WORKPIECE. Move

the material across the abrasive and allow it to

cool it when it becomes hot.

DO NOT grind or polish magnesium. Ptcould

catch on fire.

SAVE THESE tNSTRUCTaONS

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.

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.

USE ONLY 3-W_RE EXTENSION CORDS THAT HAVE

3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3-POLE

RECEPTACLES THAT ACCEPTTHE TOOL'S PLUG,

REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN CORD

iMMEDIATELY.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

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.

SAVE THESE

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.

ABRASIVE DISC (FIG, P)

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 toward the table on the right side of the disc at

all times. Using the left side of the disc will cause the

workpiece to fly up or kickback and could result in injury.

Review this instruction manual for correct operation,

adjustments, and basic sanding operations. Apply only

enough pressure to remove material; excessive pressure

wil! reduce sanding efficiency.

After sanding wood and other nommetal materials, clean

the area of sawdust and debris before grinding metal.

Sparks could ignite debris and cause a fire.

To avoid injury from slips, jams or thrown pieces, make sure

all adjustments are made. Review section "ASSEMBLY AND

ADJUSTMENTS" for correct disc adjustments.

End sanding and outside curve sanding.

1. Use disc for sanding the ends of small and narrow

workpieces and outside curved edges. Always work on

the right side of the disc center (downward rotation

side), holding the workpiece firmly and applying light

pressure against the sanding disc.

2. The disc moves the fastest and removes more

material at the outer edge.

Using the left side (upward rotation side) of the disc will

cause the workpiece to fly up or kick back and could

result in injury.

ABRASIVE BELT

The abrasive belt can be used to sand wood, deburr metal,

or polish plastic and glass, The belt is most efficient when

used with the table. The 1" belt size is convenient for getting

into corners and concave curved edges,

Straight sanding (FroG,Q)

t. Use to sand wood, remove metal burrs, polish

plastics and glass (1).

2. Keep the backstop (2) in place for straight sanding or

grinding operations,

Contour sanding (FIG. R)

1. Remove the backstop to make the abrasive belt

flexible for contour sanding operations (1),

2. Move the workpiece against the belt to follow

contours of the workpiece (2).

Sharpening (FIG.S)

1. Adjust the metal table (t) to the desired angle.

2. Make a wooden table-rest that is the same width as

the metal table. Use the belt sander to notch the back

of the table-rest to match the angle of the metal table.

3. Place the table-rest (2) on the metal table, and use the

sander to bevel its front edge until the abrasive belt

comes in contact with its top surface.

4, Position the table-rest !/16" from the abrasive belt and

clamp it to the metal table.

5. Keep the backstop (3) in place.

6. Hold the too! (4) firmly on the table--rest and move toot

gently toward the abrasive belt while sharpening.

For your safety, turn switch OFF, and remove the power

cord from the electrical outlet before adjusting, cleaning, or

performing maintenance on your sander.

To avoid electric shock or fire, all repairs to the electrical

components should be done by qualified service

technicians.

Before each use check for damaged, missing, or worn

parts; check for alignment of moving parts, binding,

improper mounting, or any other conditions that may

affect the operation. Should any oFthese conditions exist,

do not use the sander until properly repaired or parts are

replaced. Frequently blow or vacuum dust from alf sander

parts and motor housing.

After sanding wood or non-metallic material, always clean

the sawdust from sander or work area before grinding or

sharpening metal workpieces. Sparks could ignite and

cause a fire.

LUBRICATION

Ball bearings are grease packed at the factory and

require no further lubrication. Use a spray lubricant to
