WARNING
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 chemically treated
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.

WARNING: For Your Own Safety Read
Instruction Manual Before Operating Sander
Safety Instructions For Power Tools
These safety rules cannot cover every situation in a work shop. Consider your conditions when setting up
or operating your sander.
SECTION 1: SAFETY
a) Always wear eye protection.
b) When belt sanding, support the workpiece
with a miter gauge, backstop or the worktable.
c) When disc sanding, support the workpiece
on the worktable.
d) Maintain
1
⁄16'' maximum clearance between
the work table and the sanding belt or disc.
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
it is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better.
Conductor size must be 16 A.W.G. for cords
up to 100 feet in length. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire
and plug pin. Always repair or replace
extension cords if they become damaged.
Minimum Gage for extension cord:
16 A.W.G. 50ft
16 A.W.G. 100ft
14 A.W.G. 200ft
12 A.W.G. 300ft
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety
glasses.
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working
order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
4. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or
wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep
work area well lighted.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors
should be kept a safe distance from work
area.
6. MAKE WORK SHOP KID PROOF with
padlocks, master switches, or by removing
starter keys.
7. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.

Additional Safety Instructions For Sanders
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
19. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a
blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
6. If there is any doubt as to the stability or
integrity of the material to be sanded, don’t
sand it.
7. Do not operate sander with a damaged or
badly worn disc or belt.
8. When disc sanding, feed material into the
portion of the disc spinning down toward the
table.
9. Habits — good or bad — are hard to break.
Develop good habits and safety will become
second nature to you.
1. Be aware of belt or disc rotation when sand-
ing.
2. Keep fingertips away from the moving belt or
disc.
3. Never use excessive force when sanding.
Doing this greatly increases the chances of
personal injury and motor overload.
4. Always feed the work against the direction of
rotation
5. Even if you have a reliable method of dust
collection, use a dust mask or respirator
when sanding, as well as eye and ear protection.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than
using your hand and frees both hands to
operate tool.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and
changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-
tion before plugging in.

Figure 1.
Under no circumstances should the grounding
pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. If it
will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only
3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept
the tool’s plug. FIgure 1.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
110V Operation
The 11⁄
2 H.P. motor will safely draw 16 amps at
110V. If you operate this sander on any circuit
that is already close to its capacity, it might blow
a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an
unusual load does not exist, and power failure still
occurs, have the circuit inspected by a qualified
electrician.
Grounding
CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED
WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR
FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical-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.
