GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

WORK AREA SAFETY

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions  can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a respiratory mask, non-skid safety shoes and hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of personal injury.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
8. Use clamps to secure your workpiece to a stable surface. Holding a workpiece by hand or using your body to support it may lead to loss of control.
9. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

SERVICE

1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,  grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. Some examples of these chemicals are:
   • Lead from lead-based paints.
   • Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
   • 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 your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area with approved safety equipment such as dust masks specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least resistance for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug.  The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

1. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician.
2. Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in 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.
3. Check with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions or whether the tool is properly grounded.
4. Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
   CAUTION! In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.

GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXTENSION CORDS
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 be used according  to cord length and ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

1. Examine extension cord before use. Make 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.
2. Do not abuse extension cord. Do not pull on cord to disconnect from receptacle; always disconnect by pulling on plug. Disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
3. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than a 12-gauge wire and should be protected with a 15A time-delayed 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.

WARNING! To prevent serious injury from accidental operation, make sure the power cord is disconnected from the power source and the tool is turned OFF before assembly or making any adjustments.

INSTALLING / CHANGING THE SANDING DISC
Your sander comes with a 60-Grit PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) sanding disc. This is a coarse sanding disc that is good for quick stock removal. For finish sanding, you will need a finer-grit sanding disc. Additional sanding discs can be purchased from wenproducts.com by searching 65812SD. Follow the steps below to replace a sanding disc:
NOTE: Only 12-inch sanding discs with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) can be used. Hook & loop sanding discs or sanding discs of different size cannot be used on this sander.

1. Remove the disc guard and dust cover to expose the sanding disc plate.
2. Peel the used sanding disc from the metal disc plate. TIP: A putty knife, dryer, or heat gun may help with this process.
3. Wipe clean the disc plate to make sure it is clean of any residue. You can use mineral spirits to soften the PSA adhesives to remove any residue from the plate. Rotate the disc by hand to get access to all of the disc surface.
4. Peel the protective backing from the new PSA 12-inch sanding disc. Align the sanding disc with the plate, and press the disc firmly onto the plate, leaving no loose edges.
5. Re-install the disc guard on the right side of the sanding disc, and secure with the Phillips head screws and washers. Re-install the dust cover against the bottom of the disc, and fasten with the Phillips head screws.

NOTE: It is important to install the disc guard, as it prevents you from sanding on the wrong side of the disc. ONLY sand on the left side of the disc, where the disc is rotating downwards (toward the table).

USING DUST COLLECTION
Sanding operations are dusty and can produce particles that are harmful to your health. Always wear a dust mask and use an adequate dust collection system.
Connect the included dust hose to the sander’s dust port (Fig. 3 – 1), and connect the other end to the dust  collection system of your choice. A dust port adapter may be needed (not included), depending on the inlet size of your dust extractor.

WORK TABLE ASSEMBLY

1. Holding the table flat, slide it onto the base frame.

2. Thread the pivot indexing pin fully into the pivot hole, through the scale plate. The scale plate should ride along the outside of the indexing pin head.

3. Insert the bevel locking handle through the flat washer, the scale plate and into the front hole on each side of the base frame.
   NOTE: The bevel locking handles are threaded and spring-loaded. Pull out the handle to re-position it. Push in the handle and rotate it to tighten or loosen the table. After tightening the handle, re-position it so that the handle is pointing downwards, to prevent it from interfering with the work table .

4. Follow the instructions on the next page to properly adjust the work table and miter gauge.

WARNING! To prevent serious injury from accidental operation, make sure the power cord is disconnected from the power source and the tool is turned OFF before assembly or making any adjustments.

SETTING THE TABLE DISTANCE
WARNING! To avoid trapping the workpiece or fingers between the table and the sanding disc, the table edge should be  set at about 1/16 inch away from the sanding disc.

1. You can check the table distance with a 1/16” drill bit:
   Try to insert the bit between the table and the disc. It should barely fit into the space. If adjustment is needed, follow the instructions below.

2.  Loosen the six hex bolts under the table support brackets (Fig.5 – 1).

3. Using the 1/16” drill bit as a spacer, place it between the sanding disc and the inner edge of the table. Move the table into position against the drill bit.

4. Hold the table in place and tighten the six hex bolts.

5. Remove the drill bit.

SQUARING THE TABLE
To ensure accurate end sanding, the work table must be square to the sanding surface prior to operation. Follow the steps below to make sure your table is square with the sanding disc at the 0° setting.

1. Loosen the two bevel locking handles (Fig. 6 – 1) and slide the table into the 0° position indicated on the bevel scale (Fig. 6 – 2). Tighten the two locking handles.
2. Place a square against the sanding disc and the table. Check if the surface of the table is square to the disc.
3. If adjustment is needed, loosen the two bevel locking handles and slide the table against the edge of the square so that it is perpendicular to the sanding disc. Tighten the two bevel locking handles.
4. Using a Phillips head screw driver, loosen the screw securing the bevel pointer and adjust it to point to 0° on the bevel scale. Tighten the Phillips head screw.
5. Recheck the square.

SQUARING THE MITER GAUGE
The miter gauge included with your sander attaches onto the work table to provide support for your workpiece and help you sand at the desired miter angle. It is recommended to use the miter gauge to support small workpieces. The miter gauge can be set  anywhere from 0° to 60° (right or left). To check and adjust the squaring of the miter gauge:

1. Loosen the miter lock knob, and set the miter gauge to 0° (indicated on the miter scale).
2. Place a square against the sanding disc and the flat face of the miter gauge. Check if the miter gauge face is 90° to the sanding surface.
3. If adjustment is needed, loosen the miter lock knob and slide the miter gauge so that it is perpendicular to the sanding disc. Tighten the miter lock knob.
4. Using a Phillips head screw driver, loosen the screw securing the miter point and adjust it to point to 0° on the miter scale. Tighten the Phillips head screw.
5. Recheck the square.

SANDING OPERATION
Your disc sander is designed for sanding outside edges and the ends of workpieces. The sanding disc rotates counterclockwise, so you should ONLY work on the left side of the disc, where the disc applies downward pressure on the workpiece against the table.  Sanding on the wrong side of the disc will cause the workpiece to fly up and cause injuries.

1. Turn ON the sander. It will take a few seconds for the disc to reach full speed.

2. Hold the workpiece down firmly against the table. Carefully feed the workpiece into the left side of the disc. Move workpiece back and forth against the sanding disc; do not hold workpiece in one place for too long to avoid burning the work surface. Do not
   use excessive pressure to prevent overloading the sander.
   NOTE: When sanding small workpieces, make sure to use proper support, such as the included miter gauge or other jigs. Small workpieces must be adequately supported, otherwise they may fly out and cause injuries.

3. When the sanding operation is finished, turn off the sander and remove the safety key. It may take a few minutes for the disc to stop. DO NOT touch the sanding disc while it is still rotating.

BEVEL SANDING
The worktable can be tilted for bevel sanding. Loosen the two locking handles, and tilt the worktable to the desired angle as indicated on the bevel gauge. Re-tighten the table locking handles.
WARNING! To avoid jamming fingers or workpiece between the table and sanding surface, the table should maintain a maximum of 1/16” distance from the sanding disc. Check and reposition the table as necessary.
