3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
4. This sander is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If
you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a belt/disc sander, do not use until proper
training and knowledge have been obtained.
5. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
6. This sander is intended to be used with wood and wood products only. Use of this sander and a dust
collector with metal products is a potential fire hazard. If a dust collector is not used with this machine,
remove the dust chutes.
7. Do not use this sander for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Walter Meier
(Manufacturing), I nc., disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury
that may result from that use.
8. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this sander. (Note: Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.) Also use face or dust
masks if the cutting operation is dusty.
9. Before operating t his sander, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past
the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips
are recommended. Do not wear gloves.
10. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and ot her construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure 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 face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
11. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
12. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.
13. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

Grounding Instructions
Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with
all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and
possible fatal injury.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduc e 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.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding 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 equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
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. Use only three wire extension cords
that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
115 Volt Operation
As received from the factory, your sander is wired to run at 115 volt operation. This sander when wired for
115 volts, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks the one illustrated in
Figure 2. A temporary adapter, whic h looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure 3, may be used to
connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure 3 if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by
a qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or
tab, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box, as shown in Figure 3.
It is recommended that the JSG-6DC Belt/Disc Sander, when operated at 115 volt, be connected to a
grounded and dedicated, minimum 30 amp circuit with a 30 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Local
codes take precedence over recommendations.
Figure 2 Figure 3
230 Volt Operation
If 230V, single-phase operation is desired, the following instructions must be followed:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. This sander is supplied with four motor leads that are connected for 115V operation, as shown in
Figure 4. Remove the switch box, and reconnect these four motor leads for 230V operation, as shown
in Figure 5. Re-install the switch box.
8
3. The 115V attachment plug (shown in Figure 6) supplied with the sander, must be replaced with a
UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V operation (shown in Figure 7). Contact your local authorized
Walter Meier (Manufacturing) Inc., service center or qualified electrician for proper procedures to
install the plug. The sander must comply with all local and national codes after the 230 volt plug is
installed.
4. The band saw with a 230 volt plug should only be connected to an outlet having the same
configuration (see Figure 7). No adapter is available or should be used with the 230 volt plug.
Important: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make certain t he receptacle in question is properly grounded.
If you are not sure, have a registered electrician check the receptacle.
It is recommended that the JSG-6DC Belt/Disc Sander, when operated at 230 volt, be connected to a
grounded and dedicated, minimum 15 amp circ uit with a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Local
codes take precedence over recommendations.

Extension Cords
If an extension cord is necessary, make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the
machine’s motor plate. An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Use the chart in Figure 7 as a general guide in choosing the correct size extension cord for the Bandsaw.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
