Do not wear lose 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.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES
Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty,
and ear plugs during extended periods of operation.
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For
example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator
enclosures.
DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE
When not in use, before servicing, when changing
lades, bits, cutters, etc.
b
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE
In working order, and in proper adjustment and
alignment.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES
When not in use, before servicing, when changing
blades, bits, cutters, etc.
REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING
Make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position before
plugging in tool.
GROUND ALL TOOLS
This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor
cord and a 3 prong grounding type plug to fit the
proper grounding type receptacle. The green
conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never
connect the green wire to a live terminal.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL OR ITS STAND
Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is accidentally contacted. Do not store
materials on or near the tool such that it is necessary
to stand on the tool or its stand to reach them.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
ensure that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may

Additional Safety Rules
Tool Use
DON’T FORCE TOOL
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL
Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the job of
a heavy duty tool. Don’t used tool for purpose not
intended—for example, don’t use a circular saw for
cutting tree limbs or logs.
SECURE WORK
Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate
the tool.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED
Turn power off. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
Tool Care
DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL
These tools are precision built. Any alteration or
modification not specified is misuse and may result in
dangerous conditions.
AVOID GASEOUS AREAS
Do not operate electric tools in a gaseous or
explosive atmosphere. Motors in these tools normally
spark, and may result in a dangerous condition.

and installed according to the instructions … and until
you have read and understood the following:
If there is any tendency of the belt/disc sander to tilt or
move during any use, bolt it to the bench top or to a
piece of 3/4" exterior plywood large enough to stabilize
the sander. Bolt the plywood to the underside of the
base so it extends beyond the sides of the base. DO
NOT USE PRESSED WOODS PANELS. They can
break unexpectedly. If the workpiece is too large to
easily support with one hand, provide an auxiliary
support.
9. LOCATION
Use the sander in a well lit area and on a level surface,
clean and smooth enough to reduce the risk of trips and
falls. Use it where neither the operator nor the casual
observer is forced to stand in line with a potential
kickback.

facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.

a. If any part of your belt/disc sander is missing,
malfunctioning, has been damaged or broken … such
as the motor switch, or other operating control, a safety
device or the power cord … cease operating immediately until the particular part is properly repaired or
replaced.
b. Never place your fingers in a position where they
could contact the sand paper or other cutting tool if the
workpiece should unexpectedly shift or your hand
should slip.

unning.
r
e. Before starting the operation, jog the motor switch to
make sure the sanding belt or other cutting tool does not
wobble or cause vibration.
f. If a workpiece overhangs the table such that it will fall
or tip if not held, provide auxiliary support.
g. Use fixtures for unusual operations to adequately
hold, guide and position the workpiece.
h. Turn the motor switch “OFF” and unplug from power
source when not in operation.
i. Always support workpiece with the miter gage,
backstop or worktable.
j. Keep fingers away from pinch points between the
belt/disc and the housing.
k. Maintain 1/16” clearance maximum between
table/stops and sanding belt or disc.
l. Maintain proper adjustment of sanding belt tension and
alignment.
m. Avoid kickback (workpiece thrown at you) - Do not
use right half of disc or work on left side of workpiece
stop for belt.
n. To avoid injury from thrown work or tool contact, DO
NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the
table while the tool is rotating.
o. Keep pulley cover closed when not making belt
adjustments.
p. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

Connection To A Power Source
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect
the operator from electric shock.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded type
outlet protected by a 15-amp dual element time delay fuse
or circuit breaker.
Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure
that your outlet, as pictured in Figure 1, is properly

This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
grounding type plug, approved by Underwriters
Laboratories and the Canadian Standards Association.
The ground conductor has a green jacket and is
attached to the tool housing at one end and to the
ground prong in the attachment plug at the other end.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool is
of the two-prong type, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER
THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Have a
qualified electrician replace the TWO-prong outlet with a
properly grounded THREE-prong outlet.
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 equipmentconductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipmentgrounding 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.
Always use proper extension cord. The use of any
extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep
this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor
burn-out, use the table below to determine the minimum
wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord. Use only 3-wire
extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type
plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool’s
plug. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition.
