SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE BELT/DISC SANDER
8. Always hold the workpiece firmly on the table when using the disc sander and when using the belt sander.
9. Always sand on the downward side of the sanding disc when using the disc sander. Sanding on the upward side
of the disc can cause the workpiece to fly out of position, resulting in injury.
10. 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.
11. Do not sand pieces of material that are too small to be safely supported.
12. When sanding a large workpiece, provide additional table height support.
13. Do not sand with the workpiece unsupported. Support the workpiece with the backstop or table. The only ex-
ception is curved work performed on the outer sanding drum.
14. Always remove scrap pieces and other objects from the table, backstop, or belt before turning the sander ON.
15. Never perform layout, assembly or set-up work on the table while the sander is operating.
16. 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.
17. Should any component of your sander be missing/damaged or fail in any way, shut off switch and remove plug
from power supply outlet. Replace the missing, damaged, or failed parts before resuming operation.
18. Never pull the power cord out of the receptacle. Keep cords away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
19. Have an electrician replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance
for an 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 outlet 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 outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
licensed electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conduc-
tor with the 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.
