GROUND THE SANDER. This sander has an ap-

proved 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding

type plug. Use only 3-wire, grounded outlets rated

120 volts, 15amperes (amps). The green conductor

in the cord isthe grounding wire. To avoid electrocu-
tion, NEVER connect the green wire to alive terminal,

PLAN AHEAD TO PROTECT YOUR EYES,
HANDS, FACE, EARS.

DISCONNECT THE SANDER. To avoid injury from

accidental starting, unplugthe sander, turnthe switchoff
and remove the switch key before changing the setup,

sanding disc or belt or adjusting anything.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Check for:

. alignment of moving parts,
. binding of moving parts,

° broken parts,

• workpartsthatcauseagaplargerthan 1/16"between

work support and sanding surface,

° sanding belt narrowerthan 4 inches. Narrower belts

uncover parts that could trap your fingers,

- worn or damaged electric cords,

• stable mounting, and

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

If any part is missing, bent, or broken inany 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.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep the sander
clean for best and safest performance. Follow instruc-
tions for lubricating.

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES from

tool before turning iton.

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 poten-

tial hazards peculiar to this tool.

To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving
pads:

, KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

Don't do layout, assembly, or setup work on the
sander while any parts are moving.

AVOIDACCIDENTALSTARTtNG. Make sure switch

is "OFF" before plugging sander into a power outlet.

Plan your work.

USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment
to do a job 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.

. Remove all traces of metal dust from Inside the

sander before sanding wood again.

Dress for safety.

To avoid Injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces:

, USEONLYRECOMMENDEDACCESSORIES. (See

page 21). Consult this Owner's manual for recom-
mended accessories. Follow the instructions that

come with the accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause r_skof injury to person.

• Adjust any work support to clear the sanding surface
by no more than 1/16 of an inch. When checking

clearance between the belt and work support, press
the belt flat against the metal beneath it.

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

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches inviteaccidents. Floor must not be slippery.

To avoid bums or other fire damage, never use the
sander near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

Any power sander can throw foreign objects into the
eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage. Wear
safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI

and its supports.

- When sanding irregularly shaped workpieces, plan
yourwork support so itwill not slipand be pulled from
your hands.

Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward
workpieces.

Never usethis tool to finishpieces too small to hold by
hand.

- Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.)
for any wor_moieceslarge enough totip when not held

MOUNTBNG BELT AND DaSC SANDER
TO WORKBENCH

If belt and disc sander is to be used in a permanent

location, it shouldbe fastened securely to a firm supporl-
ing surface suchas a workbench.

If mounting to a workbench, holes should be drilled

through supporting surface of the workbench using
dimensions illustrated.

1. The unit should bebo{ted securely using 5/16" screws
and hex nuts (not included). Screw length should be

1-1/2" plus the thickness of the bench top.

2. Locate and markthe holes where belt and disc sander
is to be mounted.

3. Drill (2) 3/8" diameter holes through workbench.

4. Place belt and disc sander on workbench aligning

holes on base with holes drilled in workbench.

5, Insert two 5/16" screws and tighten hex nuts.
An alternate method of mounting is to fasten belt and

disc sander to a mounting board. The board should be
of sufficient size to avoid tipping of sanderwhile in use,

Any good grade of plywood or chipboard with a 3/4"
minimum thickness is recommended. (Thinner chip-
board can break.)

CAUTION: To avoid injury from tool movement, use
5/16" or larger screws and nuts.

1. Follow instructions for mounting to workbench, sub-

stituting a board 18" x 24" minimum size and using
5/16 inchflat head screws, !ockwashers, and hex nuts
(not included). Screw length should be 1-1/2" plusthe

thickness of the mounting board.

NOTE: For proper stability, holes must be counter sunk
so screw heads are flush with the bottom surface of

supporting board.
CAUTION: To avoid Injury from tool movement,

supporting surface where belt and disc sander Is
mou nted shou Id be examined carefully after mount-

lng to Insure that no movement during use can
result. If any tipping or walking is noted, secure

workbench or supporting surface before operating

belt and dlsc sander.
