Warnings
1. Read and understand the entire owners manual before attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply
with all of these warnings may cause serious injury.
3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
4. This drum 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 drum sander, do not
use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this machine for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, WMH Tool
Group disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may
result from that use.
6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this machine. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
7. Before operating this machine, 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 is
recommended.
8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.
9. This drum sander is to be used with wood and wood products only. Use of this drum sander and
a dust collector with metal products is a potential fire hazard.
10. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contain 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 sander 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. Always sand with the grain of the wood.
14. Always feed stock against the rotation of the drum.
15. Do not sand pieces of material that are too small to be safely supported.
16. When sanding a large piece, provide additional support at table height.
17. Always connect and use a dust collector to the drum sander while operating.
18. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
19. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power
source.
20. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.
21. Keep machine guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for
maintenance purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.
22. Make sure the drum sander is firmly secured to the stand or bench before use.
23. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, 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.
24. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
25. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.
26. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.
27. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
28. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play”
are careless acts that can result in serious injury.

29. Stand to one side of the conveyor and make sure no one else is standing in line with the
conveyor while feeding into the machine. The drum sander operates at high speed and should a
part slip, it will exit the machine at a high rate of speed and may result in injuries to anyone
standing directly in front of the infeed. (Keep the conveyor belt clean and check pin-roll
adjustments). Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the
sanding drum or other moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any
machine operation.
30. Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. The
right tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
31. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.
32. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
33. Never brush away sawdust while the machine is running. Use the correct speed and feed for the
tool. Be sure that the tool is the correct one for your operation.
34. Never stand on a machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tipped or if the sanding drum
is unintentionally contacted.
35. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and don’t leave the machine
until it comes to a complete stop.
36. All doors should be closed, all panels replaced and other safety guards should be in place before
the machine is started or operated.
37. Keep your hands clear when feeding parts onto the conveyor. The part will be forced down as it
begins to feed into the machine, causing a pinching action between the part and the table. Use
caution! Hands should be clear of the stock and the table to avoid pinching. Never reach into a
running machine. Turn off the electrical power and stop the machine before attempting to retrieve
parts from within it. Keep your hands away from the sanding area. Contact with internal moving
parts can result in the loss or injury to fingers, hands and arms.
38. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.

Grounding Instructions
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.
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 ready 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 A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter as illustrated in Figure B, may be used to
connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure B 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 B.
The use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if you must use one make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. Be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and overheating.
The following table shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length needed and the
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
