SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SANDERS 1. AVOID kickback by sanding in accordance with the directional arrows. 2. KEEP YOUR HANDS CLEAR of abrasive belt, disc and all moving parts. 3. FOR optimum performance, do not stall motor or reduce speed. Do not force the work into the abrasive. 4. ALWAYS support workpiece with table or work stop when sanding with belt and with table when sanding with disc. 5. NEVER push a sharp corner of the workpiece rapidly against the belt or disc. Abrasive backing may tear. 6. REPLACE abrasives when they become loaded (glazed) or frayed. 7. WHENEVER adjusting or replacing any parts on the tool, turn switch "OFF" and remove the plug from power source. 8. RECHECK table handle and bolts. They must be tightened securely. 9. MAKE SURE all guards are properly attached. All guards should be securely fastened. 10. MAKE SURE all moving parts are free and clear of any interference. 11. MAKE SURE all fasteners are tight and have not vibrated loose. 12. WITH power disconnected, test operation by hand for clearance and adjust if necessary. 13. ALWAYS wear eye protection or face shield. 14. MAKE SURE abrasive belt always tracks properly. Correct tracking gives optimum performance. 15. AFTER turning switch on, always allow belt and disc to come up to full speed before sanding or grinding. 16. BE SURE disc turns counterclockwise. Abrasive belt must travel downward. English ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS WARNING To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. Your sander is wired at the factory for 120V operation. Connect to a 120V, 15 Amp circuit and use a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn or 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 current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric 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 green insulation (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 person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded. -5-
