Read the following WARNING label found on the front of

the sander:

When Installing Or Moving the Sander

Avoid dangerous environment. Use the sander in a

dry, indoor place protected from rain. Keep work area well lighted.

Place the sander so neither the user or bystanders are forced to stand in line with the abrasive belt or disc.

To avoid burns or other tire damage, never use the sander near flammable liquids, vapors or gasses.

To avoid injury or death from electrical shock:

• Ground the sander. This sander has an approved 3- conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug. Use only 3-wire, grounded outlets rated 120 volts, 15 amperes (amps)_ The green conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. To avoid electrocution, never con-

nect the green wire to a live terminal Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug's metal

prongs when plugging or unplugging the sander, Never use this or any power sander for wet sanding.

Doing so could cause electrocution, serious injury or worse.

To avoid injury from unexpected sander movement:

• Always unplug the sander before moving it.

• Put the sander on a firm level surface where there is plenty of room for handling and properly supporting the

workpiece.

• Support the sander so it does not rock.

• Bolt the sander to its work surface, Use the fasteners and method shown in "Assembly" section.

• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the

tool tips. Do not store anything above or near the too!

where anyone might stand on the tool to reach it,

To Avoid Back Injury

• Get help or use recommended casters when you need

to move the sander

• Always get help if you need to liftthe sander.

•• •, i i¸.... i¸¸

Before Each Use: i

Inspect your sander. Check for:

oalignment of moving parts,

_obinding of moving parts,

• broken or damaged parts,

• fixtures that cause a gap larger than 1/16" between work support and sanding surface,

° sanding belt narrower than 4 inches. Narrower belts

uncover parts that could trap your fingers.

° worn or damaged electric cords,

• stable mounting

• any other condition that may affect the way the sander works.

If any part is missing, bent, or broken in any way, or any electrical parts don't work properly, turn the sander off

and unplug the sander. Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts before using the sander again.

Disconnect the sander to avoid injury from accidental starting. Pdrn the switch off, unplug the sander and remove the switch key before changing the setup, sand-

ingdisc or belt or adjusting anything. Maintain tools with care. Keep the sander clean for best

and safest performance, Follow instructions for lubricat- ing.

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 "Accessory" section..

° Adjust any work support to clear the sanding surface

by no more than 1/16 of an inch. When checking clear- ance between the belt and work support, press the belt flat against the metal beneath it.

• Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no parts have excessive play.

• Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floor must not be slippery.

Plan Ahead To Protect Your Eyes, Hands, Face and Ears:

Know your sander. Read and understand the owner's

manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool.

To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving parts:

° Keep guards in place and in working order.

• Don't do layout, assembly, 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.

Dress for Safety:

° Wear nonslip footwear.

Tie back long hair.

Roll tong 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

into moving pads.

you

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 area stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

Plan your work. Think through how you will hold and

maneuver the workpiece from start to finish.

Use the right tool. Don't force toot or attachment to do a

ob it was not designed to do.

CAUTION: This machine is not designed for heavy! deburring operations. When finishing metals,

sparks or hot fragments could cause a fire. To avoid this:

• Disconnect any dust collecting hose from the sander.

• Remove all traces of wood dust from inside the

sander, i

• Remove all traces of metal dust from inside the

sander before sanding wood again, i

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. Keep fingers away from where the

belt goes intothe dust trap. Don't overreach. Keep good footing and balance.

Keep your face and body to one side. Stay out of tine

with a possible throwback.

• Never use thistool to finish pieces too small to hold by hand.

• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.)

for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held

down to the table top.

=Never use another person as a substitute for a table

extension, or as additionalsupport for a workpiece that is longer or wider that the basic sander table, or to help feed, support orpuU the workpiece.

• When finishing on the disc, always press the workpiece against the "Down" side of the disc. Sanding against the

side coming up from under the table could damage the work by making it "chatter", or tear the work from your

hands and throw it,

• Sand 0nly one workpiece at a time.

° Clear everything except the workpiece and related sup-

port devices off thetable before turning the sander on.

wARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre- I

quent use of your belt and disc sander) cause a careless mistake. A careless fraction of asecond is

enough to cause a severe injury.

sander and workpiece. Don't force tool. It will do the job better and safer at its

designed rate. Press the workpiece against the sanding material only hard enough to let it sand without bogging down or binding.

Before freeing any jammed material:

° Turn switch "OFF"

• Wait for all moving parts to stop. ° Unplug the sander.

Before Leaving the Sander:

Precautions to Take When Sanding Paint

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 if paint contains lead. There-

fore, we recommend the following precautions when

sanding all paints:

1. Protect your lungs. Always wear a dust mask or respi- rator at all times. Wear only dust masks that are suit-

able for working in lead paint sanding environments.

Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection.

2. Do not allow children or pregnant women to enter the work area Untlpaint_ sanding job is finished and al! clean up

ii 3::To particles_ Do

" not eat; drink; or :smoke in w6rk area where paint is

5. Thoroughly clean the work area upon completion of

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.

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.

paint sanding project. If project lasts for an extended amount of time, clean work area often. Items such a_

sanding dust, vacuum filter bags, plastic drop cloths, etc

should be placed in a sealed container and disposed o' properly. Clean all items exposed to sanding dust.
