Safety is a combination of operator common sense and
alertness at all times when the sander is being used.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT

SANDER UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED
AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUC­
TIONS ... AND UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND UN­
DERSTOOD THE FOLLOWING:

3. Basic Operation................................................. 13
4. Maintenance....................................................... 16
5. Stability of Machine
If there is any tendency for the machine to tip over
or move during certain operations such as when
sanding long heavy boards, the sander should be
bolted down.
6. Location
The machine should be positioned so neither the
operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand
in line with the sanding belt or disc. This machine
is intended for indoor use only.
7. Kickback
When sanding on the Disc, always apply the work­
piece left of center to the left side of the disc. Ap­
plying the workpiece to the right side could cause
it to fly up (kickback) which could be hazardous.
When sanding on the sanding belt, never apply
the end of a workpiece to the idler pulley which
can result in a kickback.
8. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears and Body
a. Always wear safety goggles (not glasses)
that comply with ANSI Z87.1. Wear face shield
if operation is dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs
during extended periods of operation. Do not
wear gloves, jewelry or watches. Roll long
sleeves above the elbow. Tie back long hair.
b. Do not sand pieces of material too small to
hold by hand.
c. Avoid awkward hand positions, where a
sudden slip could cause a hand to move
into sanding disc or belt.
d. Never climb on the machine.
e. Never turn your Sander “ON" before clear­
ing the belt table and worktable of all
objects.

Make sure the sanding belt runs in the
right direction (directional arrow on back
side of belt). Always have the tracking
adjusted correctly so that the belt does
not run off the pulleys.
Hold the work firmly when sanding on the
belt and against the worktable when sanding
on the disc.
Always adjust the worktable to within a
maximum of 1/16-inch of the sanding disc
or belt.
When sanding a large piece of material,
provide additional support at table height.
Never leave the machine work area when
the power is on, before the machine has
come to a complete stop, or without re­
moving and storing the switch key.
Do not perform layout, assembly or setup
work on the table while the sander is
operating.
Turn sander “OFF” and remove plug from
power supply outlet before installing or
removing an accessory.
Use only RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
listed on page 19.
Always keep guards in place when operating
sander.
Tighten securely all work supports before
sanding.
9. If any part of this Belt and Disc Sander should
break, bend, or fail in any way or any electrical
component fall to perform properly, or if any is
missing, shut off power switch, remove power sup­
ply cord from power supply and replace damaged
missing and/or failed parts before resuming
operation.
10. Do not sand with the workpiece unsupported. Sup­
port it with the backstop or worktable. The only
exception is curved work performed on outer end
of belt (idler pulley).
11. To avoid entanglement in spindle, do not operate
sander with sanding plate and/or guard removed.
CAUTION: This Belt and Disc Sander is designed
to sand wood or wood like products only. Attempts
to sand or grind other materials could result in fire,
injury or damage to the product.
