SAFETY GUIDELINES
POWER TOOL SAFETY
BD61000
1. READ and become familiar with the entire Instruction Manual. LEARN the
tool’s application, limitations and possible hazards.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking
to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning ON.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
5. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools
in damp locations, or expose them to rain or snow. Keep work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors and bystanders should be kept a safe
distance from work area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches or by
removing starter keys.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or an attachment to do a job
for which it was not designed.
10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
result in a drop in line voltage and in loss of power which will cause the tool
to overheat. The table on page 8 shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.
Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
12. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power tool can throw foreign
objects into the eyes and could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS
wear Safety Goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Safety standard
Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact–resistant lenses. They ARE
NOT safety glasses. NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI
Z87.1 could seriously injure you when they break.
13. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sanding operation produces dust.
14. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It is
safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
15.
DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE before servicing, and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch
is in the OFF position before plugging the tool in.

People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their
physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in
close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of
the pacemaker.

BD61000
SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. USE sander on horizontal surfaces only. Operating the sander when mounted
on non-horizontal surfaces might result in motor damage.
2. TO STOP it from tipping over or moving when in use, the sander must be
securely fastened to a bench top or supporting surface.
3. PLACE the sander so neither the user nor bystanders are forced to stand in
line with the abrasive belt or disc.
4.
MAKE SURE the sanding belt is installed in the correct direction. See directional
arrow on back of belt.
5. ALWAYS have the tracking adjusted properly so the belt does not run off the
pulleys.
6.
DO NOT USE sanding belts or discs that are damaged, torn or loose. Use only
correct size sanding belt and disc. Narrower belts uncover parts that could
trap fingers.
7. MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece
to be sanded.
8. ALWAYS HOLD the workpiece firmly when sanding. Keep hands away from
sanding belt or disc. Sand only one workpiece at a time.
9. ALWAYS HOLD the workpiece firmly on the table when using the disc sander
and when using the belt sander.
10. ALWAYS SAND ON THE DOWNWARD SIDE of the sanding disc when using
the disc sander. Sanding on the upward side of the disc could cause the
workpiece to fly out of position, resulting in injury.
11.ALWAYS maintain a minimum clearance of 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) or less between
the table or backstop and the sanding belt or disc.
12. DO NOT sand pieces of material that are too small to be safely supported.
13. KEEP fingers away from where the belt goes into the dust trap.
14. WHEN sanding a large workpiece, provide additional support at table height.

REPLACING THE V-BELT
Should the rotation of the sanding belt or disc STOP, the reason may be that the
V-belt is broken or has stretched out so much, that any tension adjustments do
not work. In these cases, the V-belt must be replaced.
1. Remove the Belt Cover (1) by unscrewing
the two hex head Screws (2).
2. Remove the complete Sanding Disc Table
Assembly (3) from the Disc Frame.
3. Remove the lower Disc Guard (4) by
unscrewing the six Phillips head Screws (5),
and also the Sandpaper from the metal
Sanding Disc.
4. Remove the metal Sanding Disc (6).
Turn the center Screw (7) counter-
clockwise to remove it. Pull the large
Washer (8) from the disc center and
then pull the disc off from the Drive
Shaft. Note that the disc is positioned
on the shaft with a small Key (9).
5. Remove the Dust Connection Pipe (10)
from the lower section of the Disc Frame
with the four Phillips head Screws (11).
6. Unscrew the Disc Frame from the sander’s cabinet. Remove three screws
- two on top of the frame (12) and one longer screw from the interior of the
frame (13).
7. On the cabinet top, under the sanding belt frame, there are two hex head Bolts
and Nuts (14) that extend up from the cabinet surface. These connect to the
motor frame and will adjust the tension of the V-Belt by pivoting the motor.
Loosen the locking nuts (14) and then rotate the bolts so that the motor frame
is moved to release tension on the V-Belt.

7. Carefully tip the sander to one side to
avoid any damage to the machine.
Unscrew the four retaining Screws (15)
and remove the base cover (16).
ADJUSTING THE V-BELT TENSION
If the rotation of the sanding belt or disc slow down or stall, the reason may be that
the V-belt is slipping on the two pulleys. This may be because the motor or frame
have become loose from the base, or that the V-belt has stretched out
due to the
machine being used. In either case, re-adjustment of the V-belt is needed.
1. On the cabinet top, under the sanding belt
frame, there are two hex head Bolts and
Nuts (1) that extend up from the cabinet
surface. These connect to the motor frame
and will adjust the tension of the V-Belt by
pivoting the motor. Loosen the locking nuts
and then rotate the bolts so that the motor
frame is moved to put more, or less, tension
on the V-Belt.
3. Tension, or the deflection of the V-belt should
be about 1/4” to 3/8” when moderate pressure
is applied onto the belt with your finger.
4. Once the proper belt tension is achieved,
tighten the hex head bolts to secure the
motor frame in its new position.
8. Remove the old V-belt from the two drive pulleys, and install a new V-Belt.
Make sure that there is some tension on the belt, so that it does not slip off
as the sander parts are re-assembled.
NOTE: Both pulleys are pre-set at the factory and should be in-line with each
other. If not, re-adjust one of the pulleys on their drive shaft. Loosen
the hex set screw that holds the pulley to its shaft, move the pulley so
that it is aligned with the other pulley, then re-tighten the set screw to
lock it in position.
9. While the sander is still apart, set the belt tension.
