The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or misuse.

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, cement and 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 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.

machine and cause serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE. Perform machine inspections and maintenance promptly as required.

UNATTENDED MACHINE. Never leave the machine running unattended.

SANDING BELTS/DRUMS. Replace sanding belts and drums promptly as needed.

WORKPIECE QUANTITY. Never sand more than one piece of stock at a time.

FOREIGN MATERIAL. Always inspect stock for nails, staples, knots, and other imperfections that could

be dislodged and thrown from the machine during sanding operations.

DUST COLLECTION. Never operate the sander without an adequate dust collection system in place and

running.

DIRECTION. Never sand tapered or pointed stock with the point facing the feed direction, or the

workpiece may be thrown from machine and cause serious personal injury.

POWER DISCONNECT. Disconnect the machine from the power source before changing the sanding belt

or sleeve.

TEST RUN. Test run the machine before starting any work.

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and followed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

USE this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions.

SETUP

This machine must be connected to the correct size and type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage may occur. Read through this section to determine if an adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install one before you can connect the machine to power.

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 fullload 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 machine is prewired to operate on a 220V power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

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.
