General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future use.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your main-operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
EN

EN EN
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI )
protected supply. Use of a RCD or GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injury.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure switch is in off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up, or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjustment wrench or key before turning the power tool on. Awrench or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
g) Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards. It is recommendation that the
tool always be supplied via a residual current device with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories
or storing power tools. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidently.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Operating a tool that is not completely of fully assembled could result in injury or property damage. Do not operate this tool until it is
completely assembled. Keep all fasteners tight. Keep adjustments per tool’s specications.
5) Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
Safety Warnings for Sanding Operations
a) This power tool is intended to function as a sander. Read all safety warnings, instructions and specications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re, or personal injury.
b) Operations such as grinding, wire brushing, polishing or cutting-off, are not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for
which the tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and y apart.
e) The outside diameter and thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guard or controlled.
f) The arbor size of wheels, anges, backing pads or any other accessory must t the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbor holes that
do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheel for chips or cracks, backing pad for cracks,
tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting or installing an accessory, position yourself or bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run
the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping ying debris generated by various operations. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping ying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of ltering particles
generated by your operations. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments
of work piece or a broken accessory mayy away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j) Hold power tool by gripping insulated surfaces (handle) only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you loose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your arm or hand may be pulled into
the spinning accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tools air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation may cause
electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near ammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding
paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
q) Risk of explosion. Floor sanding can result in an explosive mixture of ne dust and air. Use oor sanding machine only in a well-ventilated area
free from any ame or match.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating backing pad which in turn causes uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the opposite direction of the backing pad’s
rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the work piece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into
the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
a) Maintain a rm grip on the power tool and position your body and arms to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handles, if
provided for maximum control over kickback or torque reactions during start up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces,
if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in the direction opposite to
the wheel’s movement at the point of the snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have
a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
Additional Rules for Safe Operation
a) Empty the dust bag or dust collection receiver frequently. Do not leave residue in dust bag or dust collection receiver unattended. Always empty
in a non-combustible metal container. Sanding wood or varnish produces dust that can self ignite and cause injury or damage. Follow this
precaution for storage.
b) Setall exposed nails. Sweep loose abrasive away from work area. Do not strike metal pipes, ect., with sanding paper. Striking metal or abrasive
particles with sanding paper produces sparks that could ignite the sanding dust which can cause injury or damage.
c) Do not operate a partially assemble power tool. Keep all adjustments within manufacturer’s specications. Keep all fasteners tight. Operating
a partially assembled power tool could result in injury to the operator or bystander and could cause damage to the equipment or surroundings.
d) Do not attempt to change the sanding paper while the power tool is running. The sanding pad can snag clothing and cause injury to limbs and
moving sanding paper can cause abrasions.
e) The power tool should only be used on an electrical system (mains) that is rated for the electrical requirements of the power tool as shown on
the nameplate. Use only on an earthing (grounded) system. Do not service the power tool if it is energized or connected to an electrical circuit.
Improper use could cause re or electric shock.

Installing the Sanding Head
1. Place the head on the machine, making sure the belt is placed around the motor pulley. Position the belt in the lower-most grooves, (closest to
the motor), for the 8” extension. Position the belt in the upper-most grooves, (furthest away from the motor), for the 13” extension. (Figure 4)
2. Start all four nuts “B” by hand, but do not tighten.
3. Rotate pad driver “C” to make sure belt is in the appropriate grooves.
CAUTION: Rapid belt wear will occur if belt is not properly aligned.
4. Tension belt and tighten nuts “B” with a 7/16” socket.
NOTE: The tension should be great enough so that the belt does not slip during use. Excessive tension will lessen bearing and belt life.
5. Secure belt guard with screws “A”.
WARNING: Bodily injury could occur if power is applied to the machine with the power switch already in the “ON” position. Always check
to assure that the power switch is in the “OFF” position before applying power to the power cable.
1. Move machine to the location of your work. Set any exposed nails with hammer and punch to avoid
encounter with abrasive.
2. Make sure the control switch is in the “OFF” position then connect the supply cable to an
appropriately grounded fused circuit. Connect the supply cable to the motor pigtail. (Figure 6)
3. With the machine in the reclined position rmly grasp both handles and ip the control switch to the
“ON” position. (Figure 5.)
4. Gradually lower pad to surface intended for sanding. Make sure the machine is in motion while
the pad is engaged with the surface to be sanded. You may use broad circular motion as you sand
along the length of the surface or your may use a combination of forward and sideward motions. In
time you will develop your own technique to optimize coverage and dust recovery. It is advisable to
not add effort to the pad as this may lead to “nosing in” or “tipping” which produces grooves or lines
on the surface.
5. When replacing abrasive, emptying the contents of the dust bag, or sanding operation is completed,
return machine to reclined position, ip control switch to “OFF” then
disconnect the motor pigtail from the supply cable.
6. Empty dust bag whenever it becomes 1/3 full
DANGER: Failure to disconnect the supply cable from machine whenever
servicing, replacing abrasive, or emptying the dust bag could
result in electrocution or severe injury. Never leave machine
unattended while the supply cable is connected.
DANGER: Never leave dust bag unattended with sanding dust in it.
Sanding dust can spontaneously ignite and cause a re or
explosion. Empty dust bag into a metal container, clear of any
combustibles. Do not empty content into a re. Do not overll
dust bag.

MACHINE SET-UP
Preparing the Machine for Operation
1. Familiarize yourself with the machine. Read all danger, warning, and caution
statements and the Owner’s Manual before operating this machine. If you or
your operator cannot read English, have this manual explained fully before
attempting to operate this machine.
2. Remove screw and abrasive retainer. Center abrasive on pad and secure with
abrasive retainer and screw. (Figure 3)
3. Return machine to upright position and tilt machine back on casters until it
comes to rest on the exhaust bracket. Machine will be in a reclined position.
Do not allow machine to rest on pad especially after use, or compression set
may take place within elastomer on pad. This will create a at spot and bounce
during use. (Figure 4)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Move machine to the location of your work. Set any exposed nails with ham-
mer and punch to avoid encounter with abrasive.
WARNING: Bodily injury could occur if power is applied to
the machine with the power switch already in the “ON” position. Always
check to assure that the power switch is in the “OFF” position before
applying power to the power cable.
2. Make sure the control switch is in the “Off” position then connect the supply
cable to an appropriately grounded fused circuit. Connect the supply cable to
the motor pigtail. (Figure 5)
3. With the machine in the reclined position rmly grasp both handles and ip the
control switch to the “ON” position. (Figure 4.)
4. Gradually lower pad to surface intended for sanding. Make sure the ma-
chine is in motion while the pad is engaged with the surface to be sanded.
You may use broad circular motion as you sand along the length of the
surface or your may use a combination of forward and sideward motions.
In time you will develop your own technique to optimize coverage and dust
recovery. It is advisable to not add effort to the pad as this may lead to “nos-
ing in” or “tipping” which produces grooves or lines on the surface.
5. When replacing abrasive, emptying the contents of the dust bag, or sanding
operation is completed, return machine to reclined position, ip control
switch to “Off” then disconnect the motor pigtail from the supply cable.
6. Empty dust bag whenever it becomes 1/3 full.
