WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals know 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 and other masonry products, and
● 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.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into
your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

CAUTION
CAUTION
SANDING LEAD BASED PAINT:
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The
greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a
paint contains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:
PERSONAL SAFETY:
No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being done until all clean up
●
is completed.
● A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily
or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting
masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the proper (NIOSH approved) mask.
● NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint
particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or
smoking should not be left in the work area where dust would settle on them.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY:
● Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated.
● Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
● Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work area.
CLEANING AND DISPOSAL:
● All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding
project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently.
● Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust chips or other removal debris. They
should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures. During
clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept away from the immediate work area.
All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly before being used again.
●
DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury.
CAUTION: Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or an
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will result in a drop in line
voltage and in loss of power which will cause the tool
to overheat. The table on page 6 shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.
Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with
ANSI Z87.1 could seriously injure you when they
break.
13. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK.
Sanding operation produces dust.
14. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It is safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to
operate the tool.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE
before servicing, and when changing accessories
such as blades, bits and cutters.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in the OFF position
before plugging the tool in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult this Instruction Manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may
cause risk of injury to yourself or others.
18. NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL. Serious injury
could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK FOR 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.
20. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING
UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER “OFF”. Do not
walk away from a running tool until the blade comes
to a complete stop and the tool is unplugged from

BELT / DISC SANDER SAFETY
1. USE sander on horizontal surfaces only. Operating
the sander when mounted on non-horizontal
surfaces might result in motor damage.
2. TO STOP it from tipping over or moving when in
use, the sander must be securely fastened to a
bench top or supporting surface.
3. PLACE the sander so neither the user nor
bystanders are forced to stand in line with the
abrasive belt or disc.
4. MAKE SURE the sanding belt is installed in the
correct direction. See directional arrow on back of
belt.
5. ALWAYS have the tracking adjusted properly so the
belt does not run off the pulleys.
6. DO NOT USE sanding belts or discs that are
damaged, torn or loose. Use only correct size
sanding belt and disc. Narrower belts uncover parts
that could trap fingers.
7. MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in
the part of the workpiece to be sanded.
8. ALWAYS HOLD the workpiece firmly when sanding.
Keep hands away from sanding belt or disc. Sand
only one workpiece at a time.
9. ALWAYS HOLD the workpiece firmly on the table
when using the disc sander and when using the belt
sander.
10. ALWAYS SAND ON THE DOWNWARD SIDE
of the sanding disc when using the disc sander.
Sanding on the upward side of the disc could cause
the workpiece to fly out of position, resulting in
injury.
15. DO NOT sand with the workpiece unsupported.
Support the workpiece with the backstop or table.
Plan your work support.
16. NEVER USE ANOTHER PERSON as additional
support for a workpiece longer or wider than the
table.
17. ALWAYS remove scrap pieces and other objects
from the table, backstop or belt before turning the
sander ON.
18. NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work on
the table while the sander is operating.
19. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents
could dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Use only a soft damp cloth to clean plastic parts.
20. SHOULD any part of your sander be missing,
damaged, or fail in any way, or any electrical
components fail to perform properly, shut off switch
and remove plug from power source outlet. Replace
missing, damaged or failed parts before resuming
operation.
21. NEVER PULL THE POWER CORD out of the
receptacle by pulling on the cord. Keep cords away
from heat, oil and sharp edges.
22. HAVE AN ELECTRICIAN REPLACE OR REPAIR
damaged or worn cords immediately.
23. This tool is not approved for use for any material
other than wood and wood products.
11. ALWAYS maintain a minimum clearance of 1/16
inch (1.6 mm) or less between the table or backstop
and the sanding belt or disc.
12. DO NOT sand pieces of material that are too small
to be safely supported.
13. KEEP fingers away from where the belt goes into
the dust trap.
14. WHEN sanding a large workpiece, provide
additional support at table height.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
!
WARNING
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage
to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a
seperate electrical circuit for your tool. Your sander
is wired at the factory for 120 V operation. Connect
to a 120 V, 5 Amp circuit and use a 5 Amp time delay
fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if
power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
!
WARNING
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect
the operator from electrical shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR
BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric currents and reduces the risk of
electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electrical
cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching receptacle 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 receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed
by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation (with or without
yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor.
If repair or replacement of the electrical cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not certain the tool is properly
grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords that have
three-pronged grounding plugs with three-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or
replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit
must not be less than #18 wire and should be protected
with a 5 Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor
to the power line, make sure the switch is in the off
position and the electric current is rated the same as the
current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a
lower voltage will damage the motor.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. Use an
extension cord heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power, overheating
and burning out of the motor. The table below shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before
using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp
objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
