WARNING
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
– Lead from lead-based paints.
– Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
– Work in a well-ventilated area.
– Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.
– Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
Tool Use
DON’T FORCE TOOL
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL
Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool for
purpose not intended — for example, don’t use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
SECURE WORK
Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to
operate the tool.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED
Turn power off. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
Tool Care
DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL
These tools are precision built. Any alteration or modication not specied is misuse and may
result in dangerous conditions.
AVOID GASEOUS AREAS
Do not operate electric tools in a gaseous or explosive atmosphere. Motors in these tools
normally spark, and may result in a dangerous condition.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by
authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
WARNING Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.), be
sure voltage supplied is the same as that specied on the nameplate of the
tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specied for the tool can result in serious
injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL.
Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor
WARNING For your own safety, do not operate your sander until it is completely
assembled and installed according to the instructions and until you have
read and understood this owner’s manual.
STABILITY OF THE BELT/DISC SANDER
If there is any tendency of the belt/disc sander to tilt or move during any use, bolt it to the
bench top or to a piece of 3/4" (19 mm) exterior plywood large enough to stabilize the sander.
Bolt the plywood to the underside of the base so it extends beyond the sides of the base. DO
NOT USE PRESSED WOOD PANELS. They can break unexpectedly. If the workpiece is too
large to easily support with one hand, provide an auxiliary support.
LOCATION
Use the sander in a well-lit area and on a level surface, clean and smooth enough to reduce
the risk of trips and falls. Use it where neither the operator nor the casual observer is forced to
stand in line with a potential kickback.
PROTECTION: Eyes, hands, ears and body.

Electrical Requirements
Connection to A Power Source
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded type outlet protected by a 15-amp dual
element time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure that your outlet, as pictured in Figure 1,
is properly grounded; have it checked by a qualied electrician.
DANGER To avoid electric shock, do not touch the metal prongs on the plug when
installing or removing the plug to or from the outlet.
DANGER Failure to properly ground this power tool can cause electrocution or serious
shock, particularly when used near metal plumbing or other metal objects. If shocked, your
reaction could cause your hands to hit the tool.
WARNING If power cord is worn, cut or
damaged in any way, have
it replaced immediately to avoid shock or re
hazard.
Your unit is for use on 120 volts. It has a plug
that looks like the one in the gure on the right:
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor
cord and grounding type plug, approved by
Underwriters Laboratories and the Canadian
Standards Association. The ground conductor
has a green jacket and is attached to the tool
housing at one end and to the ground prong in
the attachment plug at the other end.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this
power tool is of the two-prong type, DO
NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Have a qualied
electrician replace the TWO-prong outlet with a properly grounded THREE-prong outlet.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-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 qualied electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Extension Cords
WARNING Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of damaged cords can shock,
burn or electrocute.
WARNING If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors
should be used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. The table shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and nameplate
amperage rating of the tool. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA
listed extension cords.
