use a dust collector. Protect your face, eyes, ears, lungs and body with suitable personal protective equipment.
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces or other jewelry while the sander is in operation.
• Remove adjusting wrenches, tools and other clutter from the machine and the table surface before using the machine.
• Keep hands well away from the belt, disc and all moving parts. Use a brush, not your hands, to clear away chips and dust.
• Make sure the sanding belt and disc are correctly and securely installed on the machine.
• Do not operate the sander if the sanding belt or disc is worn or damaged.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Before connecting the machine to the power source, verify that the voltage of your power supply corresponds with the voltage
specied on the I.D. nameplate located on the back of the machine. A power source with greater voltage than needed can result
in serious injury to the user as well as damage to the machine. If in doubt, contact a qualied electrician before connecting to the
power source. This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in wet or damp locations.
For your convenience this sander is shipped from the factory partially assembled and requires only minimal assembly and set up
before being put into service.
BASIC FUNCTIONS
is machine is designed for sanding small workpieces such as chair legs or cabinet doors. e 6" x 48" sanding belt can be tilted
at any angle between 90º and 180º for bevelled pieces. Flat sanding, with belt in horizontal position (180º), is easier and safer for
longer workpieces. e 12" sanding disc can be used for sanding round or curved surfaces.

2. Insert the four supplied hex head bolts and at washers
down through the holes in the base of the sanding head
and into the base cabinet.
3. Open the cabinet door and, from the inside, secure the
bolts with four hex nuts and washers, using a 14 mm open
end wrench and 14 mm socket wrench.
INSTALLIN THE CABINET DOOR KNOB
1. From the inside, insert the DOOR BOLT (A)through the

INSTALLIN THE DUST OUTLET
Do not operate this sander without a dust collection system
properly installed and running. Operating this sander without
dust collection can lead to equipment malfunction or dangerous situations for the operator or other individuals in the workshop.
When connecting to a dust collector, use the correct size hose and ttings (not included) and check that all connections are
sealed tightly to help minimize airborne dust. Minimum recommended dust collection CFM requirements for this sander is 1100
CFM.

Figure 6.
3. If the table is not at 90°, loosen the table LOCK LEVER (B)
and adjust the table.
4. Tighten LOCK LEVER (B)to secure the table in position.
Once the table is set to 90°, check the 90° positive stop. To
adjust the stop, follow these steps:
