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

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.

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

• 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.

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.
