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, cement and other masonry products.
€ Arsenic and chromium from chemically4reated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals:work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those 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 bench 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.

SPECHF C SAFETY NSTRL CTIONS
FOR BELT / DISC bANDERs'- " "
For your own safety, do not try to use your belt/disc sander
or plug it in until it is comple[ely assembled and installed
according to the instructions, and until you have read and
understood this instruction manual:
.
THiS SANDER tS DESIGNED TO SAND WOOD OR
WOOD-LIKE PRODUCTS ONLY. Sanding or grinding
other materials could result in fire, injury or damage to
workpiece.
2,
USE sander on horizontal surfaces only. Operating
the sander when mounted on nonqqerizontal surfaces
might result in motor damage. 20.
TO STOP i[ from tipping over or moving when in use,
the sander must be securely fastened to a bench top
or supporting surface.
,
PLACE the sander so neither the user nor bystanders
are forced to stand in line with the abrasive belt or disc.
5. MAKE SURE the sanding belt 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.
7_
DO NOT USE sanding belts or discs that are damaged,
torn, loose. Use only correct size sanding belt 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.
9.
ALWAYS HOLD the workpiece firmly when sanding•
Keep hands away from sanding belt or disc. Sand
only one workpiece at a time.
10. ALWAYS HOLD the workpiece firmly on the table
when using the disc sander and when using the belt
sander.
11. ALWAYS SAND ON THE DOWNWARD S_DE 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, resuking in injury.
DO NOT sand pieces of material that are too small to
be safely supported.
KEEP fingers away [rom where the belt goes into the
dusl trap.
15.
WHEN sanding a large workpiece, provide additional
support at table height.
16.
DO NO'[' 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
17.
NEVER USE ANOTHER PERSON as additional
support for a workpiece longer or wider than the table.
i8.
ALWAYS remove scrap pieces and other objects from
the table, backstop or belt before turning the sander
ON.
19.
NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work on the
table while the sander is operating.
NEVER use solvents Io clean plastic parts. Solvents
coutd dissolve or other wise damage the material. Use

CATCH on fire.
GROUNDING DNSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTmONOR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool 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 thai 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 EXTENS!ON CORDS THAT HAVE
3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3-POLE
RECEPTACLES THAT ACCEPT THE 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 wilt
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 #!2 wire and should be protected
with a 15 Amp time lag 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.
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 (FAGURE B)
has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected
loa permanent earth ground, such as a properly
grounded receptacle box. The Canadian Electrical Code
prohibits the use of adapters.
CAUTmON: 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 sander is for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or use in damp locations.
