TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT
GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

110-120 VAC Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

1. 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.

2. Do not modify the plug provided – if it will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

3. Improper connection of the equipment­grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is
green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment­grounding conductor to a live terminal.

4. Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the tool is properly grounded.

5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

6. Repair or replace damaged or
worn cord immediately.

Sander Tool Safety Warnings

For Your Own Safety Read Instruction
Manual Before Operating Tool Sander

1. Wear eye protection.

2. Support workpiece with miter
gauge, backstop, or worktable.

3. Maintain 1/16 inch maximum clearance
between table and sanding belt or disc.

4. Avoid kickback by sanding in accordance
with the directional arrows.

5. The backstop is a fence near the surface
that helps the operator maintain control
of the workpiece and prevents the
workpiece from being pulled into the
machine. For safety, it must be adjusted
very close to the sanding surface.

6. The worktable is the surface mounted
close to the sanding surface that the
operator rests the workpiece against to
prevent it from being pulled by the sanding
surface. For safety, it must be adjusted
very close to the sanding surface.

7. The sanding belt is designed to rotate down
towards the table while the disc rotates
both up from the table and down towards
the table. Sand only on the downward moving
surface of the disc - sanding on the upward
moving surface may result in the workpiece
being thrown up and towards the operator.

8. DO NOT OPERATE WITH ANY

GUARD DISABLED, DAMAGED, OR
REMOVED. Moving guards must
move freely and close instantly.

9. Do not use an adapter to connect
this tool to a different outlet.

9. The use of accessories or attachments
not recommended by the manufacturer
may result in a risk of injury to persons.

10. When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.

11. Do not depress the spindle lock when
starting or during operation.

12. Only use safety equipment that has been
approved by an appropriate standards
agency. Unapproved safety equipment
may not provide adequate protection. Eye
protection must be ANSI-approved and
breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved
for the specific hazards in the work area.

13. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.

14. Industrial applications must
follow OSHA guidelines.

15. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact

17. People with pacemakers should
consult their physician(s) before use.
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to
heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker
interference or pacemaker failure.

18. 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 and cement or
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

Vibration Safety

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. (California Health & Safety
Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

19. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product
will expose you to lead, a chemical known
to the State of California to cause cancer,
and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling. (California
Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

20. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations that
may occur.
It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or
long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for
an extended period should first be examined
by a doctor and then have regular medical
check-ups to ensure medical problems
are not being caused or worsened from
use. Pregnant women or people who have
impaired blood circulation to the hand, past
hand injuries, nervous system disorders,
diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use
this tool. If you feel any medical or physical
symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

3. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there
is a choice between different processes.

4. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.

5. Grip workpiece as lightly as possible
(while still keeping safe control of
it). Let the tool do the work.

6. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING

1. CAUTION: Always turn the Power Switch (64) to its “OFF” position and
unplug the Power Cord (59) from its 110 volt electrical outlet before
performing any inspection, adjustments, maintenance, or cleaning.

2. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Belt/Disc Sander.
Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or
broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, excessively loose Sanding Belt (1) and
Sanding Disc (32), and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If
abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further
use. Do not use damaged equipment.

3. DAILY: Sanding Belts (1) and Sanding Discs (32) must be sharp and clean to
perform properly. Depending on materials sanded and frequency of tool use,
Sanding Belts and Sanding Discs become clogged with wood particles and dull.
Dull Sanding Belts and Sanding Discs rub the workpiece rather than cut, which
results in increased friction, higher temperatures, and a burned workpiece. As
often as possible, check the condition of the Sanding Belt and Sanding Disc and,
if necessary, replace a worn Sanding Belt and Sanding Disc with a new, 6" wide
by 48" Sanding Belt and 9" diameter Sanding Disc.

4. DAILY: With a soft brush, cloth, or vacuum, remove all sawdust and debrisfrom

the Belt/Disc Sander. Then, use a premium quality, lightweight machine oil to

lubricate all moving parts.
