WIRING DIAGRAM
The machine must be grounded.
MM491G
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of ele-
ctric 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.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not
fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grou
nding 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-grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the ele-
ctric 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.
Use only three wire extension cords that have
three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that
has an outlet that looks the one illustrated in
Figure A below.The tool has a grounding plug
that looks like the grounding plug as illustra-
ted in Figure A below. A temporary adapter,
which locks like the adapter as illustrated in
Figure B below, may be used to connect this
plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure
B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should only be used
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green colored
rigid ear or tab, extending from the adapter,
must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box.
* Canadian electrical codes require extension
cords to be certified SJT type or better.
**Use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.
Replacement of the power supply cable should
only be done by a qualified electrician.

dust and debris from sander and motor.
Timing Drive Belt Replacement
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw
(66) from belt cover (67), and remove cover.
2. Loosen three screws to allow drive pulleys
(71 and 78) to move enough to place drive belt
(70) around them .
3. Place drive belt around drive pulley (71), then
drive pulley (78).
4. Tighten the three screws slightly.
5. Adjust tension of drive belt by placing a standard
screwdriver in the adjusting hole by pushing up
on the screwdriver to apply tension to the drive
belt.
6. Tighten the three screws again.
7. Squeeze the drive belt between two fingers
in the centre of the belt. If the belt has been
correctly tensioned there should be about
6mm (1/4”) of “give”.
NOTE: Too much tension on the drive belt
can load-down motor and possibly cause dam
age. If the drive belt is too loose, it may fail
prematurely.
