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.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas

Variable Speed
The speed control dial, located on the back of the rear handle, moves the speed of the
sanding belt from approximately 850 surface feet per minute on speed #1 (light sanding;
fine grit sanding belts) to approximately 1400 surface feet per minute on speed #6 (more
aggressive sanding; coarse sanding belts). Low speeds also prevent excessive belt wear
and overheating when removing paint with the belt sander.
There are two positions for the front handle: top position and front p
osition. The unit comes
with the handle installed in the top position (F) as shown in Figure 1.
To Reposition Top Handle
2.
Attach the top handle to the threaded hole in the front (G) or the top (F) of the unit.
3.
Tighten the screw.
The handle must be properly seated over the mounting surface before tightening the
screw.
TRACKING THE BELT
Your belt sander is equipped with an automatic tracking system that
prevents the belt from
vents damage to the sander housing and the destruction of the sanding belt.

Slide the dust collector off of the rubber dust ejection chute.
Shake the bag and ejection chute over a trash can, tapping the bag lightly against
the can to loosen any compacted dust particles.
8.
When the dust collector is empty, re attach it to the dust ejection chute and then to
the sander.
(FIG. 2)
When sanding in tight places, the dust collector may be removed.
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
With the dust collector removed, the stream of dust will be blown through the
exhaust port toward the operator unless the dust collection valve is closed.
To close the dust collection valve, push the lever (P) forward. This will prevent the flow of
dust from the exhaust port.
To open the dust collection valve, pull the lever (P) backward. This will allow the flow of dust
to exit the exhaust port.
