ELECTRICAL
Motor Specifications
Your tool is wired for 110 volt, 60Hz alternating current.
Considerations
•Observe local electrical codes when connecting the machine.
•The circuit should be protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker with a amperage
rating slightly higher than the full load current of machine.
•A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. Before connecting the motor to
the power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric
current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the tool.
•All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the
motor.
•In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord having 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.
•Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green 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 personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
•Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY
A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN!
Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate.
WARNING:In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is
properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.

WIRE GAUGE
An undersized cord decreases line voltage, causing loss of power and overheating. All cords
should use a ground wire and plug pin. Replace any damaged cords immediately.
TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
Follow these guidelines when lifting:
•Use lift equipment such as straps, chains, capable of lifting 1.5 to 2 times the weight of the
machine.
•Take proper precautions for handling and lifting.
•Check if the load is properly balanced by lifting it an inch or two.
CAUTION: Lifting and carrying
operations should be carried out by skilled
workers, such as a truck operator, crane
operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the
machine, attach the lifting chain carefully,
making sure the machine is well balanced.
Choose a location that will keep the machine
free from vibration and dust from other
machinery. Keep in mind that having a large
clearance area around the machine is
important for safe and efficient working
conditions.

16
16
•Lift the machine, avoiding sudden accelerations or quick changes of direction.
•Locate the machine where it is to be installed, and lower slowly until it touches the floor.
•The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 –2 times the machines gross weight.
•Make sure the machine is balanced. While transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and
maintain a safe clearance zone around the transport area.
•Use a fork lift with sufficient lifting capacity and forks that are long enough to reach the
complete width of the machine.
•Remove the securing bolts that attach the machine to the pallet.
•Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame taking care that there
are no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.
•Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
•Level the machine so that no rocking is taking place.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:
•Overall weight of the machine.
•Weight of material being processed.
•Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
•Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery.
•Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
•Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
•Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
•Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
•Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from
obstructing objects.
•If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend
into any aisles.
•POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT: The power supply should be located close enough to the
machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be
sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or outlets.
WARNING:For your own safety, DO NOT connect the machine to the
power source until the machine is completely assembled and you read and
understand the entire instruction manual.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS and ADJUSTMENTS
These sanders can be used to remove stock from a wide variety of machinable materials.
Different materials require different grit types and grades to achieve the desired stock
removal rate and surface finish. Please consult with your abrasive materials supplier for
specific recommendations on the correct grit material and grade required for your specific
needs. When removing stock from soft materials (wood, plastic, etc.) these machines are
typically called "sanders." When removing stock from hard materials (cast iron, steel, etc.)
they are referred to as "grinders".
Belt Sander
The sanding belt must be in good condition, at proper
tension, and tracking correctly, before doing any sanding,
grinding or other abrasive machining operations. Refer to the
section on Track Mechanism Maintenance if you have any
problems with belt tension or tracking.
Adjusting the Belt Sander Table
You can tilt the table from a horizontal position to a 45°
downward angle or any angle in between. A single locking
knob on the side of the table is used to lock and unlock the
table for adjustment.
Adjusting the Belt Sander Arm
The belt sander arm can be adjusted from a vertical position
to a horizontal position or anywhere in between. To tilt the
table, loosen the two bolts as indicated by the arrows in (fig.
1) using a 16mm wrench. (It is not necessary to remove the
guard to pivot the table) When set at the desired angle, re-
tighten the two bolts.
CAUTION: NEVER ADJUST THE
TABLE ANGLE WHILE THE SANDER IS
RUNNING. ALWAYS TURN THE MOTOR OFF
BEFORE ADJUSTING THE TABLE ANGLE.

To set the arm to an angle between horizontal and
vertical use a machinist’s protractor. Re-tighten both
lock bolts to secure the arm.
(Fig. 3) shows the table still attached. It can be pivoted
if desired or completely removed depending on the
intended application.
Adjusting the Disc Sander Table
Loosen the locking knob underneath the table as
shown in (fig. 4). Using the pointer and scale, set
the angle between 0° and 45° downward as
needed. Lock the knob when the desired angle is
shown on the scale.
The distance between the disc and the edge of the table
can also be adjusted by loosening bolt (A) and sliding
the table assembly either in or out. The table can also
be removed when replacing the sanding / grinding disc.
Using the Miter Gauge
The miter gauge can be used on either the disc or belt
surfaces to sand or grind accurate angles on the piece
part. When using the gauge alone, you can sand or
grind a single angle. However, by tilting the table and
CAUTION: NEVER ADJUST THE
