SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

& ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

1. The combination of wood dust and metal filings can create a fire hazard. Before the machine is used for shaping metal products, make sure there are no wood dust deposits inside the machine or in the dust collector.

2. Keep all guards in place and in working order.

3. Check belt before operating the sander to make sure that the belt is not torn or loose. Also check that the belt is tracking properly.

4. When using the disc, always sand on the side of the disc which is moving downwards. Using the other half will cause the workpiece to fly up, and is potentially very dangerous.

5. When sanding long or heavy materials that could cause the sander to tip over, secure the sander to a bench or other supporting surface. Also, provide additional support for the work table if it is necessary.

6. Do not sand pieces that are too small to be held onto securely.

Always hold the work firmly when sanding, and do not attempt any freehand operations. The workpiece should be held firmly to the table.

7. Use this sander for what it was designed for. Do not try to perform operations that are behond its capabilities.

8. Do not force the machine. Feed materials into it at a rate that does not slow or stall the motor.

9. Always turn the sander off and unplug it before changing the belt or disc.

10. If any guard or other parts of the sander becomes damaged, make sure it will still perform its intended function, if it does not, have the part replaced before operating the sander.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the sander motor.

ASSEMBLY

Warning! Do not plug this sander into the wall outlet or attempt to operate until it is completely assembled.

BELT TABLE ASSEMBLY

1) Slide the belt and platen through the belt table.

2) Insert hex. hd. bolt (A) through the hole in the sander and the slot in the underside of the table, as shown in figure 2.

3) Fasten the flat washer and table locking handle assembly (B) onto the bolt. The table locking handle is spring loaded. By pulling the handle away from the hex. hd. bolt, the handle can be rotated without loosening or tightening the locking handle assembly.

4) A positive stop to set the belt table at 90 0 to the belt is located underneath and at the back of the belt table. Place a combination square against the table and the belt, once a perfect 90 0 angle is obtained, unscrew hex. hd. bolt until it comes in contact with the sander frame.

Note: When tilting the table, it should be reajusted so that the gap between the belt and the table is no larger than 1/16˝. A gap larger than this could cause the workpiece to slip down between the belt and the table. See Fig. 3.
