Dress for Safety

• Wear nonstip footwear.
° Tie back long hair.

• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
° Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing

damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using sander
for hours at a time.

• Sanding operations are usually dusty. Wear a dust
mask along with the safety goggles.

° Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry

(rings, wrist watches), They can get caught and draw

you into moving parts.

WEAR YOUR

° Wear safety goggles. Any power sander can throw

foreign objects into the eyes. This can cause perma-

nent eye damage. Wear safety goggles (not glasses)

that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package).

Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles

are available at Sears retail catalog stores. Glasses or
goggles not in compliance with ANS! Z87.1 could serf

ously hurt you when they break.

Maintain tools with care: Keep the sander clean for
maximum and safest performance.

Remove wrenches from tool before turning on.

To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces:

• Use only recommended accessories. Consult this
owner's manual for recommended accessories. The

use of improper accessories may cause injury. (See
page 19).

o Use the correct spacer ring insert. The opening

between the sanding sleeve and insert must be 1/8th
of an inch or less. (See page 11)

• All sanding drums, washers and nuts are tight. No
parts should have excessive play prior to operating

unit.

o Keep work area clean. Cluttered work surfaces invite

accidents. Floor must be clean and dry for stabte foot-
ing.

[ I IBJl I II II U

To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving

parts:

. Do not layout, assemble, or setup work on the sander

while any parts are moving.

• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure switch is "OFF"
before plugging sander into a power outlet.

inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no nails
or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be
sanded.

Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start
to finish. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions

where a sudden slip could cause finger or hand to move

into a sanding surface.

Don't overreach. Maintain balance and footing.

Keep face and body to one side. Stay out of line with a

possible throwback.

Plan your work to avoid THROWBACKS - when the

workpiece catches the sanding drum and is torn

from your hands:

oMake sure there's no debris between the workpiece

and its supports.

-When sanding irregularly shaped workpieces, plan
your work support so it will not slip and be pulled from
your hands,

° Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward

workpieces.

o Never usethistool to finishpiecestoo small to hold by hand.

• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses_ blocks, etc.l
for any workpieces large enough to tip when not

secured to the work surface,

Precautions To Take When Sanding Metals ......

When sanding metals, sparks or hot fragments could 2. Remove all traces of wood dust from inside the unit
cause a fire. To avoid this: before sanding metals.

1. Disconnect any dust collecting hose from the sander. 3. Remove all traces of metal dust from inside the unit
before sanding wood again.

Precautions ToTake When Sanding Paint

Sanding of lead based paint is not recommended. It is

difficult to control the contaminated dust that could cause
lead poisoning.

It is also difficult to identify whether or not a paint con-

tains lead. Therefore, we recommend the following pre- 4.
cautions when sanding all paints:

1. Protect your lungs. Wear a dust mask or respirator at
al! times. Wear only dust masks that are suitable for

working in lead paint sanding environments. Ordinary 5.
painting masks do not offer this protection.

2. Do not allow children or pregnant women to enter the work

area until paint sanding job iscomplete and work area is

clean. :,

To prevent ingesting contaminated paint particles: Do

i:::_::_iinot eat;_i:i:drink; 1:0t:_smoke in a:work: area'where paint Is

• i

being sanded. After sanding paint, wash and clean up
before eating, drinking or smoking. Do not leave food,
drinl_s, or tobacco products in the work area where

dust can settle on them.

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 out-
side the work area.

Thoroughly clean the work area upon completion of
paint sanding project. It project lasts for an extended

period of time, clean work area often. Items such as
sanding dust, vacuum filter bags, plastic drop cloths, etc.

should be placed in a sealed container and disposed of

properly. Clean al! items exposed to sanding dust.

Power Supply and Motor Specifications

WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire haz-
ards or damage to the tool, use proper circuit pro-
tection. Your tool is wired at the factory for

operation using the voltage shown. Connect tool
to a power line with the appropriate voltage and a

15-amp branch circuit. To avoid shock or fire, if
power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way,

have it replaced immediately.

110-120 V01t, 60 Hz. Tool information

NOTE: The plug supplied on your tool may not fit into the
outlet you are planning to use, Your local electrical code
may require slightly different power cord plug connec-

tions. If these differences exist refer to and make the
proper adjustments per your local code before your tool

is plugged in and turned on.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped

with an electric cord having an equipment grounding con-
ductor and a grounding plug, as shown, The plug must

be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance w_th all local codes

and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,

have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
A temporary adapter may be used to connect this plug to

a 2-pole outlet, as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is

not available. This temporary adapter should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a

qualified electrician, The green colored rigid ear, lug and

the like, extension from the adapter must be connected to

a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box.

Improper connection of the equipment grounding con-

ductor could result in a risk of electric shock. The conduc-
tor with insulation having an outer surface that is green

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_g round-

ing conductor to a live terminal

WARNING Do not permit fingers to touch the ter-
minals of plug when installing or removing the

plug to or from the outlet.

If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way,

have it replaced immediately-

The A-C motor used on this tool is a relay start, having the
following specifications: ',It is wired at the factory for opera-

tion on 11Oq20V AC. 60 Hz. operation.

Motor Specifications and E/ectrical Requirements (continued)

Motor Safety Protecti on

IMPORTANT: Tb avoidmotor damage; this motor should
be_blown' Out: Or vacuumed: frequently to keep sawdust

from interfering with normal motor ventilation.

1.Connect this tool to a power source with the appropri-
ate voltage for your model and a 15-amp branch circuit
with a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. Using
the wrong size fuse can damage the motor.

2, Ifthe motor won't start, turn off the power switch imme-

d ately:and unplug the toot. Check the spindle to make
sure it turns freely. If the spindle is free, try to start the

motor again, If the motor stiUdoes not start, refer to the
"Motor Troubleshooting Chart.'

3. tf the motor suddenly stalls while sanding, turn off the

power switch, unplug the tool, and free the spindle

from the workpiece. The motor may now be restarted.

Wire Sizes

NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord is used and

is in good condition.
The use of any extension cord will cause loss of power. To
keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and

motor bum-out, use the table shown to determine the min-
imum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.

Use only 3-wire extension cords with 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles.

4. Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip fre-
quently if:

a: Motor Is Overloaded-Overloading can occur if you

sand too rapidly or make too many staWstops in a
short time.

b. Line voltages should not be more than 10% above

or below the nameplate voltage. For heavy loads,
however, the voltage at motor terminals must equal
the voltage specified for your model.

5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect
connections, overload, low voltage (such as small size
wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long supply circuit
wire. Always check the connections, the load and sup-

ply circuit whenever motor doesn't work well. Check
wire sizes and extension cord length with the Wire Size

Chart.
