Some dust created by power sanding sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, Some examples of these
chemicals are:
® Lead from lead-based paints.
@ Crystalline.silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
® Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on ................how often you do this type of work. To reduce you r eXposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as [hose dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to
the tool, use proper circuit protection.
Your belt/disc sander is wired at the factory for 120V
operation. Connect to a 120V, 15 AMP branch circuit and
.use a 15 AMP time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid
shock or fire. replace power cord immediately if it is worn.
cut or damaged in any way.

SPECmFUC SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
FOR BELT/DgSC SANDER
For your own safety, do not try to use your belt / disc sander
or plug it in until it is completely assembled and installed
according to the instructions, and until you have read and
understood this instruction manual:
1. USE sander on horizontal surfaces only. Operating
the sander when mounted on non-h0rizontal surfaces
might result in motor 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 be_t is installed in the correct
direction. See directional arrow on back of belt,
.
ALWAYS have the tracking adjusted properly so the
belt does not run off the pulleys.
.
DO NOT k SE sanding belts or discs that are damaged,
torn, loose. Use only correct size sanding bett and disc.
Narrower belts uncover parts that could trap fingers.
.
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 belt or disc. 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. .......
SAVE THESE tNSTRUCTaONS
tl.
ALWAYS maintain a minimum clearance of 1/16 inch
between the table or backstop and the sanding belt or
disc.
t2.
DO NOT sand pieces of material that are too small to
be safely supported.
13.
KEEP fingers away from where the belt goes into the-
dust trap.
14.
WHEN sanding a large workpiece, provide additional
support at table height.
t5.
DO NOT sand with the workpiece unsupported.
Support the workpiece with the backstop or table. The
only exception is curved work performed on the outer
sanding drum. Plan your work support.
16.
NEVER USE ANOTHER PERSON as additional
support for a workpiece longer or wider than the table.
!7.
ALWAYS remove scrap pieces and other objects from
the table, backstop or belt before turning the sander
"ON."
18.
NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work on the
table while the sander is operating.
19.
NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents
could dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Use
only a soft damp cloth to clean plastic parts.
20.
SHOULD any part of your sander be missing, damaged,
or fail in any way, or any electrical components faiI to
perform properly, shut off switch and remove ptug from
power supply outlet. Replace missing, damaged or
failed parts before resuming operation.
21.
NEVER PULLTHE POWER CORD out of the receptacle,
Keep cords away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
22.

damaged or worn cords immediately,
23.
When using the belt to grind or sharpen metal or
plastic material:
• DO NOT wet grind or polish. Never use a steady
stream of water on the workpiece. Dip or quench
the workpiece in water to cod it.
o DO NOT OVERHEAT THE WORKPIECE. Move
the material across the abrasive and allow it to
cool it when it becomes hot.
DO NOT grind or polish magnesium. Ptcould
catch on fire.
GROUNDUNG tNSTRUCTRONS
iNTHE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This toot
is equipped with an electric 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 in accordance with ALL
local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODiFYTHE 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 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 electric cord or plug is necessary,
DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to
a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you do not completely understand the grounding instructions,
or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY 3-W_RE EXTENSION CORDS THAT HAVE
3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3-POLE
RECEPTACLES THAT ACCEPTTHE TOOL'S PLUG,
REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
iMMEDIATELY.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one 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 and
overheating. 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.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before
using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit
must not be less than #12 wire and should be protected
with a 15Amp time tag 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.
SAVE THESE
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a
receptacle like the one illustrated in FIGURE A.
FIGURE A shows a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle
that has a grounding conductor, if a properly grounded
receptacle is not available, an adapter (FIGURE B) can
be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact
ungrounded receptacle. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded receptacle can
be installed by a qualified technician. The adapter
(FIGURE B) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST
be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a
properly grounded receptacle box. The Canadian
Electrical Code prohibits the use of adapters.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in
question is properly grounded. If you are not sure have a
certified electrician check the receptacle.
This belt / disc sandejr is for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or use in damp locations.
