Safety Instructions For Drum / Flap Sanders

1. BE AWARE OF DRUM OR FLAP ATTACHMENT ROTATION DIRECTION

when sanding.

2. KEEP FINGERTIPS AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS.

3. NEVER USE EXCESSIVE FORCE WHEN SANDING. Doing so greatly

increases the chance of personal injury, mechanical damage, or damage to your workpiece.

4. ALWAYS FEED YOUR WORKPIECE AGAINST THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION.

5. DEVELOP GOOD HABITS IN YOUR

SHOP and safety will become second-

nature to you. Habits – good and bad – are hard to break.

6. DO NOT SAND A WORKPIECE IF YOU DOUBT ITS STABILITY OR INTEGRITY.

Inspect all materials carefully for foreign objects like nails and staples.

7. WHEN DRUM SANDING, FEED MATERIAL INTO THE PORTION OF THE DRUM SPINNING DOWNWARD.

8. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO WOOD DUST IS KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER IN HUMANS. Always wear an OSHA-

approved respirator when working in an environment that could contain wood dust.

9. DO NOT OPERATE THE SANDER IF THE DRUM OR FLAP ATTACHMENT IS DAMAGED OR BADLY WORN. Pieces of

sandpaper could be ejected from the sander, causing serious injury.

Like all power tools, there is danger associated with the Model G0518. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this tool with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

110V Operation

Figure 1. NEMA 5-15 plug and

grounded outlet.

Amperage Draw

The Model G0518 is prewired to operate at 110V, with an amperage draw of approximately 12A.

Plug Type

The Model G0518 is supplied with a NEMA 5-15 plug. DO NOT modify the plug or power cord in

any way. See Figure 1 for a NEMA 5-15 plug and

grounded outlet.

Circuit Breaker Requirements

We recommend operating the machine on a dedicated circuit. Because the machine draws 12A when operated at 110V, use a 15A circuit breaker. Circuit breakers rated any higher are not adequate to protect the circuit from overheating and fire.

Your Circuit Capacity

Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our service department.

Serious personal injury could occur if you connect your machine to the power source before you have completed the assembly process. DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so.

Figure 2. NEMA 6-15 plug and

grounded outlet.

Amperage Draw

The Model G0518 can be rewired to operate at 220V, with an amperage draw of approximately 6A.

Plug Type

If the Model G0518 is rewired to operate at 220V, the existing plug must be replaced with a NEMA 6-15 plug. A suitable 220V power source must be used along with a properly grounded outlet. See

Figure 1 for a NEMA 6-15 plug and grounded

outlet.

Circuit Breaker Requirements

We recommend operating the machine on a dedicated circuit. Because the machine draws 6A when operated at 220V, use a 10A double-pole circuit breaker. Circuit breakers rated any higher are not adequate to protect the circuit from overheating and fire.

Grounding Extension Cord

No single list of electrical guidelines can be comprehensive for all shop environments. Operating this machinery may require additional electrical upgrades specific to your machine and shop environment. It is your responsibility to make sure your electrical systems comply with all local electrical codes and ordinances.

This machine must have a ground prong in the plug to help ensure that it is grounded. DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance to disperse electric current. This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

If you find it absolutely necessary to use an extension cord while operating this machine on a 110V power source:

•Make sure the cord is rated for Standard Service (Grade S) or better.

• The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.

• Use a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50 feet long or less.

• Use a 14 gauge cord if the cord is between 50 and 100 feet long.

We do not recommend the use of extension cords on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.

If you find it absolutely necessary to use an extension cord while operating this machine on a 220V power source:

•Make sure the cord is rated for Standard Service (Grade S) or better.

• The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.

• Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 100 feet long or less.

Electrocution or a fire can result if the machine is not grounded correctly. Make sure all electrical circuits are grounded. Do not use the machine if it is not grounded.

NOTICE

The wire on the power cord with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the grounding conductor.
