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.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THE BELT / DISC SANDER

10.
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 on page 5 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.

metal across the abrasive and cool it when it
becomes hot.
o DO NOT grind or polish magnesium. It could
CATCH on fire.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 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
i
stripes) isthe 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-WIRE EXTENSION 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 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 15 Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to
the )ower 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 (FIGURE B)
has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected
to a permanent earth ground, such as a preperly
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 sander is for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or use in damp locations.
