Test running the sander
The sander must no be plugged in and the
power switch must be completely off until
the assembly process has been correctly completed.
While still unplugged and with the power switch off, check the
fully assembled sander to make sure all parts and fasteners
are secure. Plug the sander in and turn it on and confirm it runs
smoothly. If any adjustments are needed, these must be done
with the machine turned off and unplugged for safety.
OPERATION
The sander must no be plugged in and the
power switch must be completely off until
the assembly process has been correctly completed.
Figure 16
When sanding, always position your work
on the downward, rotating side (left side)
of the sanding disc. Shown above in figure 16. The sanding
action will then force the wood down, safely towards the
table, where it can be controlled. Sanding on the right,
upward rotating side of the disc is dangerous, as your work
cannot be controlled and ‘kick-back’ may occur - the wood
being forced up and out of your hands.
Always ensure the sander is turned off
and unplugged prior to attempting any
assembly, installation or changing of parts and accessories.
Disc sanding
Dusty work environments may be
hazardous to your health. Always wear a
OSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or
respirator.
Always wear safety glasses complying
with U.S. ANSI Z87.1 before beginning any
sanding operation.
Make sure all disc guards are in securely
in place before starting the disc sanding
machine. Never operate the machine without the guards.
Always ensure the sander is turned off
and unplugged prior to attempting any
assembly, installation or changing of parts and accessories.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that users employ a
dust-collection system when using this machine. Use of
a dust mask or respirator is still required, even when
using a dust collection system.
1. Depending on what type of sanding that you will be doing, set
the Sanding Disc Table to the proper angle from 45° to 90°.
2. Once the table has been set for the correct sanding angle,
and all fasteners and lock handles are secure, the machine
can be turned on.
3. Use the Miter Gauge for added control of the workpiece
during sanding. The miter gauge can also be set to various
degree angles for maintaining accurate angles when sanding
small or multiple parts.

4. Do not force the workpiece into the sanding disc. Sand using
light pressure, letting the sanding abrasives time to do their
work!
5. Move your work piece slightly left and right on the disc,
keeping to the left-of-center, downward side. This will help
prevent resin or debris from building up on one area of the
disc, and also helps to prevent burning of the sanded surface
from excessive abrasive-action heat build-up.

table adjustment handle.
6. Set the table at the desired angle using the angle scale
pointer.
7. Re-tighten the disc table adjustment handle.
Belt table adjustments
Always ensure the sander is turned off
and unplugged prior to making any
adjustments to the machine.
For most sanding operations, the table will likely remain at a 90°
angle to the belt. A positive stop is provided with your sander to
ensure fast positioning of the table at 90 degrees to the belt.

GETTING STARTED SAFETY / SPECIFICATIONS ASSEMBLY / INSTALLATION OPERATION TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE / REPAIR
To get the full range of table angling, handle must be very loose,
so that it slides along the slot in the table bracket. The table can
then be moved back to get maximum angles.
1. Loosen the table-locking Handle (#25).
2. Position the table back to the platen so there is about 1/16”
space between it and the belt.
Figure 21
3. Using a square, protractor or other 90° tool, measure the
angle of the table against the Platen (#67). Shown in
figure 21. Once the 90° is setting is found, lock it in place,
then adjust the hex Set Screw Stop (#80), that extends under
the table.
Figure 22
4. To set the table to a different angle, loosen the handle and
tilt the table forward until it is at the required angle. Shown in
figure 22.
5. Tighten the handle to lock the table in position for sanding.
V-Belt tension adjustments
Always ensure the sander is turned off
and unplugged prior to making any
adjustments to the machine.
If the sanding belt or disc slows down or stalls, the V-belt may
be slipping on the two pulleys. This may be because the motor
or frame has loosened from the base, or the V-belt has stretched
over time due to the machine use. In either case, re-adjustment
of the V-belt is needed.
1. To gain access to the V-belt, remove the V- belt rear metal
Safety Plate (#39) and V-Belt & Disc Guard (#37).
For clarity, figure 22 shows the V-belt and pulleys with the
metal sanding disc plate, table assembly and lower disc
guard removed.
Figure 22

bolts
Figure 23
2. Tilt the sander back, and slightly loosen the two hex head
Screws (#7) so that the sanding Frame (#64) can be moved
a bit forward or backwards to tension the V-belt as shown in
figure 23.
Figure 24
3. Position the frame so the tension on the V-belt is about 1/4”
to 1/2” deflection when moderate pressure is applied to the
belt. FIG. 30.
4. Tighten the hex head screws to secure the frame in its new
position on the base.
5. Re-install the safety guards over the V-belt, in step 1 above.
If needed, see page 7 for the installation process.

Figure 25
A Miter Gauge is supplied with your sander, and can be used on
the disc or belt tables, which have slots in their design to fit the
miter gauge’s bar. The miter gauge head can be set anywhere up
to 45° (right or left) by loosening the Lock Knob (#30), setting the
miter gauge head to the desired angle, and then retightening the
lock knob as shown in figure 25.
