1. USE sander on horizontal surfaces only. Operating the sander when mounted on non-horizontal surfaces might result in notor 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 belt is installed in the correct direction. See the directional arrow on the back of the belt.
5. ALWAYS have the tracking adjusted properly so the belt does not run off the pulleys.
6. DO NOT USE sanding belts or discs that are damaged, torn, or loose. Use only the correct size sanding belt and disc. Narrower belts uncover parts that could trap fingers.
7. 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 belts or discs. 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 the upward side of the disc could cause the workpiece to fly out of position, resulting in injury. 11. ALWAYS maintain a minimum clearance of 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or less between the table or backstop and the sanding belt or disc.
11. DO NOT sand pieces of material that are too small to be safely supported.
12. KEEP fingers away from where the belt goes into the dust trap.
13. WHEN sanding a large workpiece, provide additional support at table height.
14. DO NOT sand with the workpiece unsupported. Support the workpiece with the backstop or table. Plan your work support.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY

POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

WARNING

To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a seperate electrical circuit for your tool. Your sander is wired at the factory for 120 V operation. Connect to a 120 V, 5 Amp circuit and use a 5 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric currents and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electrical 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 per all local codes and ordinances. DO NOT MODIFY THE 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 a 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 electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not certain the tool is properly grounded. USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged grounding plugs with three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than #18 wire and should be protected with a 5 Amp time lag 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. GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use an extension cord 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, overheating, and burning out of the motor. 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. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by an extension cord from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp areas.
