Additional Safety for Disc Sanders
Serious injury or death can occur from pinching fingers or hands between rotating sanding disc
and table, or getting clothes or hair getting entangled in sanding disc. Workpieces thrown by
sander can strike nearby operators with great force. Long-term respiratory damage can occur
from using sander without a respirator and adequate dust collection system. To minimize these
risks, anyone operating machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Becoming
entangled in moving parts of this machine can
cause pinching and crushing injuries. To avoid
these hazards, DO NOT wear loose clothing,
gloves, or jewelry, and tie back long hair. Keep all
guards in place and secure.
IN-RUNNING NIP POINTS. The gap between
moving sanding disc and fixed table/support
creates a pinch point for fingers or workpieces;
the larger this gap is, the greater risk of fingers or
workpieces getting caught in it. Minimize this risk
by adjusting table no more than
sanding disc.
DISC DIRECTION. Only sand on downwardmoving side of sanding disc with workpiece firmly
supported against table. Sanding on upwardmoving side of sanding disc forces operator to
rely only on hands (rather than table) for support,
which increases risk of workpiece kickback, loss of
control, and impact/abrasion injuries. Workpiece
kickback can occur with violent force if workpiece
is not properly supported during operation. Always
sand with workpiece firmly against table or another
support device.
FEEDING WORKPIECE. Forcefully jamming workpiece into sanding surface could cause workpiece
to be aggressively grabbed and pull your hands
into sanding surface. Firmly grasp workpiece in
both hands and ease it into sanding disc using light
pressure.
1
⁄16" away from
HAND PLACEMENT. Rotating sanding discs can
quickly remove a large amount skin. Always keep
hands away from sanding disc during operation.
Never touch moving sanding disc on purpose.
WORKPIECE INSPECTION. Nails, staples, knots,
or other imperfections in workpiece can be dislodged and thrown from sander at high rate of
speed into operator or bystanders, or cause damage to sanding disc or sander. Never try to
sand stock that has embedded foreign objects or
questionable imperfections.
WORKPIECE INTEGRITY. Only sand solid workpieces that can withstand power sanding forces.
Make sure shape of workpiece is properly supported on table; avoid sanding workpieces without flat
bottom surfaces unless some type of jig is used to
maintain support and control when sanding force
is applied.
SANDING DISC CONDITION. Worn or damaged
sanding discs not only produces poor sanding
results, but could fly apart, aggressively grab
workpiece, and throw debris at the operator.
Always inspect sanding discs before operation and
replace if worn or damaged.
SANDING DUST. Sanding creates large amounts
of dust and flying chips that can lead to eye injury
or respiratory illness. Reduce risk of these hazards
by wearing approved eye and respiratory protection when using sander.
SMALL WORKPIECES. Small workpieces are
difficult to control and require close support near
sanding surface. Always use a jig or other holding
device when sanding small workpieces, and keep
hands and fingers at least 2" away from sanding
surface.
-8-
DUST COLLECTION. Never operate without
adequate dust-collection system in place and running. Proper dust collection reduces dust in work
area, which decreases risk of long-term respiratory damage, but it is not a substitute for using a
respirator.
Model G0843P (Mfd. Since 11/17)
SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:

Bench Mounting
Another option is a "direct mount" (see example
below) where the machine is secured directly to
the workbench with lag screws and washers.
The base of this machine has mounting holes
that allow it to be fastened to a workbench or
other mounting surface to prevent it from moving
during operation and causing accidental injury or
damage.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through
Mount" (see example below) where holes are
drilled all the way through the workbench—and
hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to
secure the machine in place.

dust on a regular basis can result in permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk
by wearing a respirator and capturing the
dust with a dust collection system.
Minimum CFM at Dust Port: 150 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a

Replacing Sanding
Discs
6. Position exposed adhesive on upper half of
disc that extends above table. Once it is positioned evenly across disc, press adhesive
onto surface.
The Model G0843P accepts 12" diameter PSA
(pressure-sensitive adhesive) sanding discs,
which are available in a variety of grits. The sanding discs can be replaced without removing the
table, following the procedure below.
To replace sanding discs:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove disc guard, peel off old sandpaper,
clean disc surface with mineral spirits, and
wipe it dry.
3. Loosen locking table handle and fully tilt table
down.
4. Peel back protective layer on one-half of
sandpaper disc and fold it against remaining
half.
5. Slip half with protective layer between disc
and table edge, as shown in Figure 9.
7. Rotate disc so lower half is above table. Peel
off other half of protective paper, and press
remaining sandpaper against disc so adhesion is complete
The advantage of a double disc sander is it allows
you to work with different grit sizes for both coarse
and fine sanding.
Move the workpiece slowly back and forth along
downward moving side of sanding disc, and avoid
using excessive pressure to prevent burning the
workpiece and overloading the sanding discs.
To perform sanding on compound-angle cuts, tilt
the table and rotate the miter gauge to the appropriate angles.
Always keep disc guard in place and
workpiece on side of wheel that is rotating
downward. This will reduce likelihood of
workpiece being ejected.

Calibrating Miter
Gauge
A properly calibrated miter gauge is needed to
ensure accurate sanding results. When the miter
gauge is inserted into the table slot and set 90˚, it
should be perpendicular to the face of the disc. If it
is not, perform the following procedure to calibrate
the miter gauge.
2. Check that miter slot is parallel to sanding disc (refer to Table Gap & Parallelism on
Page 23 for instructions).
Calibrating Table Tilt
To ensure accurate sanding results, the table tilt
needs to be properly calibrated. When the table
is set perpendicular to the sanding disc, the scale
setting should read 0˚. If it does not, perform the
following procedure to calibrate the table tilt.
face and other edge against face of disc, as
shown in Figure 24.
Note: Although this can be done with sand-
paper installed, it is more precise without it.

Wiring Safety Instructions
SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-
nected to a power source is extremely dangerous.
Touching electrified parts will result in personal
injury including but not limited to severe burns,
electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power
from the machine before servicing electrical components!
MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond
what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire.
This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.
WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must
be tight to prevent wires from loosening during
machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to
ensure tight connections.
CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow
the requirements at the beginning of this manual
when connecting your machine to a power source.
WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires
or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice
that any wires or components are damaged while
performing a wiring task, replace those wires or
components.
MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in
these diagrams is current at the time of printing
but may not match your machine. If you find this
to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.
CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical charge for
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from
the power source. To reduce the risk of being
shocked, wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.
