Some examples of these chemicals are: PRECAUTIONS PAINT TO TAKE WHEN SANDING Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED. It is very difficult to control the contaminated dust that could cause lead poisoning. It is also difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead. Therefore, we recommend the following precautions when sanding all paints: • PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a dust mask or respirator at all times. Wear only dust masks that are suitable for working in lead paint sanding environments. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. • DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN OR PREGNANT WOMEN TO ENTER THE WORK AREA UNTIL PAINT SANDING JOB IS FINISHED AND ALL CLEAN UP COMPLETED. TO PREVENT INGESTING CONTAMINATED • lead from lead-based paints, PAINT PARTICLES, DO NOT EAT, DRINK, OR SMOKE IN A WORK AREA WHERE PAINT IS BEING SANDED. After sanding paint, wash and clean up before eating, drinking, or smoking. Do not leave food, drinks, or tobacco products in the work area where dust can settle on them. • crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and • arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: 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. • PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT WHEN SANDING PAINT. Use a dust collection system if possible. Seal the work area with plastic if necessary. DO NOT track paint dust outside the work area. • THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE WORK AREA UPON COMPLETION OF PAINT SANDING PROJECT. If project lasts for an extended period of time, clean work area often. Items such as sanding dust, vacuum filtePbags, plastic drop cloths, etc. should be placed in a sealed container and disposed of properly. Clean all items exposed to sanding dust. WARNING: The operation of any oscillating sander can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields, available at Sears Retail Stores.

When used properly and only for what it is intended, this versatile sander will give you years of trouble-free performance. It is professionally engineered, but its ease of operation allows the amateur to produce work which is beautiful and precise. It is suitable for sanding with coarse, medium, and fine grit sanding sleeves. OSCILLATING The sanding table provides ample sanding space for most workpieces. The table top is 20 in. long x 14 in. wide. ON/OFF SWITCH AND KEY The ON/OFF switch has a built-in locking feature which requires a key to be inserted before the sander can be turned on. Pushing the toggle switch to OFF position and removing the key locks the sander against unintentional use. This feature is intended to prevent unauthorized and possible hazardous use by children and others. MOTION As the name implies, the most unique feature of this sander is the fact that it oscillates. This means that the spindle rises and falls as+t rotates. The oscillating range for your sander is 5/8 in. SANDING CAPACITIES This sander accepts 1/2 in. thru 3 in. sanding sleeves that are 4-1/2 in. tall. Note: Sanding sleeves are 4-1/2 in. tall, however you can only sand material up to 3-11/16 in. thick. The 1/2 in. sanding sleeve fits directly on the 1/2 in. spindle and requires no rubber spindle. It is secured in place with a washer and hex nut on top of the spindle. All other sanding sleeves require a rubber spindle to secure them in place. These different size rubber spindles fit on the spindle and require a throat plate and sanding sleeve for each size. A washer and hex nut threaded on top of the spindle secures everything in place. _Ib WARNING: Always lock the switch oFF when not in use. Remove key and keep in a safe place, In the event of power failure, turn the switch OFF and remove key. This will prevent sander from accidentally starting when power returns. PLATE / WRENCH STORAGE AREA Your sander has a throat plate and wrench storage area located on the backside of the cabinet. See Figure 3. Proper storage of throat plates and wrench when not in use will help reduce the possibility of their getting lost. You can also use this area for storing upper spindle washers behind threat plates. SANDING STORAGE SLEEVE AREA AND RUBBER SPINDLE Your sander has a sanding sleeve and rubber spindle storage area located on the right side of the cabinet. See Figure 3. When changing from one size sanding sleeve and rubber spindle to another, store unused ones on their designated pins. Proper storage of sanding sleeves and rubber spindles when not in use will help protect them from being damaged and from getting lost. 3.5 AMP MOTOR Your sander has a 3.5 amp motor with sufficient power to handle tough sanding jobs. It develops a no load speed of 2,000 rpm and 58 opm. CAPABILITY A standard 2-1/4 in. dust exhaust port has been provided to make dustless sanding possible. See Figure 3. It is located under the table top on the left side of your sander. The pickup adapter end of a vacuum hose fits inside the dust exhaust port with a wedge fit type connection. ACCEPTS SLEEVES CAUTION: Removing the key does not lock the switch until the switch is in the OFF position. THROAT The rubber spindle expands against the inner wall of the sanding sleeve when the hex nut is tightened against the washer. A 9/16 in. wrench has been provided to tighten and loosen the hex nut, DUST COLLECTION _k ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Your sander has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that Is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC).

APPLICATIONS (Use only for the purposes listed below) • Sanding on wood surfaces. • Sanding plastics. ,_l WARNING: Do not use this sander for sanding metals. Sanding metals will cause sparks that will ignite wood and dust particles on sander, in the dust collector, or in workshop. SANDING SLEEVE SELECTION Selecting the correct size diameter, correct size grit, and correct type sanding Sleeve is an extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives, such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical use in power sanding. SANDERSHOWNMOUNTEDTO A MOUNTINGBOARDFOR PORTABLEAPPLICATIONS. ALSOSHOWNSECURELY CLAMPEDTO A WORKBENCH. Fig. 8 In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will produce the best finish in all sanding operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit and finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until surface is uniform. Mount sander to board using holes in cabinet as a template for hole pattern. A 1/4 in. hole is located on each of the four corners of the cabinet. Use 1/4 in. bolts for securing sander to a workbench or mounting board. If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough to go through holes in sander, holes in cushions and material sander is being mounted to. If machine bolts are being used, make sure bolts are long enough to go through holes in sander cabinet, holes in cushions, material being mounted to, lock washers, and hex nuts. Note: Oo not use sander without a sanding sleeve, Doing so will damage the rubber spindle. Select and install the desired sanding sleeve for your particular application. As mentioned previously, sanding sleeves from 1/2 in. to 3 in. can be used with this sander. Choose one that is close in size to the workpiece you are sanding. Also install the appropriate throat plate, with the least amount of clearance for the sanding sleeve you choose. _k Note: It may be necessary to countersink hex nuts and washers on bottom side of mounting board. The supporting surface where sander is mounted should be examined carefully after mounting to make sure that no movement during use can result. If any "tipping" or "walking" is noticed, secure workbench legs or supporting surface before beginning sanding operations. Support workpiece with miter gage, backstop or worktable. A worktable should be a stable support. A backstop is a support for the workpiece. WARNING: Failure to use the correct size throat plate with its matching sanding sleeve could result in fingers being pinched or the workpiece being pulled down between the throat plate and sanding sleeve. PREPARING FOR OPERATION When preparing for operation, make sure hex nut on top of spindle is tightened securely. Also make sure that wrench has been removed from hex nut and returned to wrench storage area. See Figure 8. When preparing for operation we recommend that your sander be secured in a permanent location such as to a workbench. If sander is to be used in a portable application, we recommend that you fasten it permanently to a mounting board that can easily be clamped to a workbench or other supporting surface. See Figure 8. _k The mounting board should be of sufficientsize to avoid tipping of sander while in use. Any good grade plywood or chipboard with a 3/4 in. thickness is recommended. 13 WARNING: Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when operating sander. They could get caught in moving parts, causing serios injury. Keep head away from sander and sanding area. Hair could get caught in the rotating parts, causing serious personal injury, _i spinning sanding sleeve will tend to throw or bounce the workpiece away from the sanding sleeve. This could cause loss of control of workpiece. WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when using your sander. Failure to do so could result in dust, shavings, loose particles, or foreign objects being thrown in your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury. If the operation is dusty, also wear a face or dust mask. DUST COLLECTION CAPABILITY See Figure 10. DUSTEXHAUSTPORT PICKUPADAPTER ENDOF VACUUM SANDING See Figure 9. DIRECTIONOF FEED OF WORKPIECE DIRECTIONOF ROTATION OF SANDINGSLEEVE Fig. 10 A standard 2-1/4 in. dust exhaust port has been provided to make dustless sanding possible. It is located under the table top on the left side of your sander as shown in figure 10. The pickup adapter end of a vacuum hose fits inside the dust exhaust port with a wedge fit type connection. Fig. 9 Even with a dust collection system, it is necessary to periodically clean sanding dust from the throat plate area. After extended use, sanding dust builds up under the throat plate and forces its way into the throat plate nest. Sanding dust build up in this area may cause throat plate surface to rise and be above the table surface. Insert the switch key and tum sander on, Let the motor build to its full speed, then gradually feed workpiece against sanding sleeve. Do not let the workpiece contact sanding sleeve before turning on sander and allowing it to develop full speed. Do not force. Exercise caution! You will become familiar with the sander's features from practice and use. If at all possible, always sand with a scrap piece of the same wood, beforehand. _i Always Remain alert! Do not operate sander when fatigued, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. WARNING: Do not use this sander for sanding metals. Sanding metals will cause sparks that will ignite wood and dust particles on sander, in dust collector, or in workshop. TRANSPORTING FEED DIRECTION SANDER When using your sander in a portable application, it is acceptable to lift and carry sander by the table top. Be careful when transporting to avoid dislodging throat plates, wrench, and upper spindle washers from their respective storage areas. Also be careful not to lose any parts when transporting. When sanding, the sanding sleeve rotates counterclockwise. Therefore, you should feed the workpiece against the sanding sleeve from right to left as shown in figure 9. When fed from right to left, the rotation of the sanding sleeve sands against the workpiece. If fed in the opposite direction, the rotation forces of the 14 _i EXTENSION CORDS WARNING: When servicing, use only identical Craftsman replacement pads. Use of any other part may create a hazard or cause product damage. The usa of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. GENERAL A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or less in length. When working outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use. The cord's jacket will be marked WA. Only the parts shown on parts list, page seventeen, are intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer.

It has been found that electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure when they are used on fiberglass boats, sports care, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to electric tool parts such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. During any use on these materials it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet. d_i, WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask. Remember: It is recommended that you use this sander for sanding wood and plastics only. 15 " CRAFTSMAN OSCILLATING SANDER - MODEL NUMBER 315,215700 10 7---,zp 11 €: 12 13 14 "!r 5 ¢€_----.-16 4 9 17 18 / / 2 SEE NOTE "A" ii ii i i i i| ., _6 , ...............
