Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make your workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine.
This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup
or contact with live electrical components.

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend­ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

Additional Safety for Spindle/Edge Sanders

Serious injury or death can occur from fingers, clothing, jewelry or hair getting entangled
in rotating spindle or other moving components. Abrasion injuries can occur from touching
rotating sanding drum with bare skin. Workpieces thrown by drum can strike operator or
bystanders with moderate force, causing impact injuries. Long-term respiratory damage can
occur from using sander without proper use of a respirator. To reduce the risk of these hazards,
operator and bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

HAND PLACEMENT. Rotating sanding drums/

belts can remove a large amount of flesh in a few
seconds. Always keep hands away from drum/
belt during operation. Never touch moving drum
on purpose. Use a brush to clean table of sawdust
and chips.

FEEDING WORKPIECE. Forcefully jamming
workpiece into sanding surface could cause
workpiece to eject back at operator or damage
machine. Always allow spindle to reach full speed.
Firmly hold workpiece with both hands and ease it
against spindle using light pressure.

FEED DIRECTION. Feeding workpiece incor­rectly can cause it to be thrown from machine,
allowing your hands to slip into the rotating drum
or striking yourself or bystanders. To reduce
these risks, feed workpiece against direction of
rotation, and never sand tapered or pointed stock
with point facing feed direction.

SANDING SLEEVE/BELT CONDITION. Worn
or damaged sanding sleeves/belts can tear apart
and become entangled in spindle or other moving
parts, resulting in subsequent injuries from opera­tor loss of workpiece control. Replace worn or
damaged sanding sleeves/belts promptly.

SANDING DUST. Sanding creates large amounts
of dust and flying chips that can lead to eye injury
or serious respiratory illness. Reduce your risk by
always wearing approved eye and respiratory pro­tection when using sander. Never operate without
adequate dust collection system in place and run­ning. However, dust collection is not a substitute
for using a respirator.

AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. DO NOT wear
loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry, and tie back
long hair. Keep all guards in place and secure.

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 sleeves, drum, or belts. Never
sand stock that has embedded foreign objects or
questionable imperfections.

TABLE INSERTS. A pinch point for fingers and
workpieces exists in the gap between table and
oscillating drum or belt. Always use table insert
that fits closest to diameter of installed drum to
keep this gap as small as possible and reduce
risk of injury.

POWER DISCONNECT. An accidental startup
while changing sleeves can result in entangle­ment or abrasion injuries. Always disconnect
machine from power source before changing
sanding sleeve to avoid this risk.

WORKPIECE INTEGRITY. Sanding fragile
workpieces can result in loss of control, resulting
in entanglement, impact injuries, or damage to
the sanding sleeve, drum, or belt. Only sand solid
workpieces that can withstand power sanding
forces. Make sure shape of workpiece is properly
supported; avoid sanding workpieces without flat
bottom surfaces unless some type of jig is used to
maintain support and control when sanding force
is applied.

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.)

This tool is double-insulated and therefore does
not have a grounding wire or plug. The two­pronged, NEMA 1-15 plug has a polarized end;
this means that one prong (the neutral connec­tor) is wider than the other (the hot connector).
Polarized plugs must be used only with polarized
receptacles. Do not attempt to plug this machine
into a non-polarized receptacle. If a polarized
receptacle is not available, a qualified electri­cal technician will have to install one before the
machine can be plugged in.

5-15 Receptacle

Extension CordsPolarized Plug

When using extension cords, make sure the cords
are rated for outdoor use. Outdoor use cords are
marked with a "W-A" or a "W" to signify their rat­ing. Always check to make sure that the extension
cords are in good working order and free of any
type of damage, such as exposed wires, cuts,
creased bends, or missing prongs.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
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.
When using extension cords, always choose the
shortest cord possible, with the greatest-sized
gauge.

Below is a list of minimum gauge sizes needed for
running this tool at different lengths:
