For your own safety, read and understand
all warnings and operating instructions before
using any tool or equipment.
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 and cement and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures vary, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area and work with
approved safety equipment. Always wear OSHA/
NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or
respirator when using such tools.
Always follow proper operating procedures as
defined in this manual even if you are familiar with
the use of this or similar tools. Remember that
being careless for even a fraction of a second can
result in severe personal injury.
WORK PREPARATION
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves,neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry
which may get caught in moving parts of the tool.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
• Wear safety glasses complying with United
States ANSI Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only
impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety
glasses.
• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is
dusty.
• Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power
tools when tired, intoxicated or when taking
medications that cause drowsiness.
WORK AREA PREPARATION
• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas
invite accidents.
• Do not use power tools in dangerous en-
vironments. Do not use power tools in damp
or wet locations. Do not expose power tools
to rain.
• Work area should be properly lit.
• Proper electrical receptacle should be
available for tool. Three-prong plug should
be plugged directly into properly grounded,
three-prong receptacle.
• Extension cords should have a grounding
prong and the three wires of the extension
cord should be of the correct gauge.
• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work
area.
• Keep children out of the work area. Ensure
your work shop is child-proof. Use padlocks,
master switches or remove switch keys to
prevent any unintentional use of power tools.
TOOL MAINTENANCE
• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
• Consult manual for specific maintaining
and adjusting procedures.
• Keep tool lubricated and clean for a safe
operation.
• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of
checking to see adjusting tools or accessories
are removed before switching tool on.
• Keep all parts in working order. Check to
determine that guard or other parts will
operate properly and perform their intended
function.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for alig-
nment of moving parts, binding, breakage,
mounting and any other condition that may
affect tool’s operation.
• A guard or any other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced. Do
not perform makeshift repairs.
TOOL OPERATION
• Use the right tool for your job. Do not force
your tool or attachment to do a job for which
it was not designed.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that
MM493B

SAFETY GUIDELINES
the tool is in the “OFF" position before plugging
in.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool’s operation,
application and specific limitations before
using it.
• Sander MUST be used with Dust Collector to
capture dust.
• Disconnect tool when changing belt or abrasive
disc.
• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at
the rate for which it was designed.
• Keep hands away from moving parts and sanding
surfaces.
• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the
power off and do not leave tool until it comes
to a complete stop.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur
if tool is tipped or if belt or disc are unintenti-
onally contacted.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool’s operation,
application and specific limitations.
• Use recommended accessories(refer to page13).
Use of improper accessories may cause risk of
injury to persons.
• Handle the workpiece correctly. Protect hands
from possible injury.
• Turn machineoff if it jams. Belt jams when it
digs too deeply into workpiece.(Motor force keeps
it stuck in the work.)
• Support workpiece with miter gauge, belt platen
or work table.
• Maintain 1/16 ″ maximum clearance between
table and sanding belt or disc.
Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator
common sense and alertness at all times when
tool is being used.
Do not attempt to operate tool until it is completely
assembled according to the instructions.

Do not connect dust collector to the power source
until all assembly steps have been completed.
The motor is designed for operation on the
voltage and frequency specified. Normal loads will
be handled safely on voltages not more than 10%
above or below specified voltage. Running the
unit on voltages which are not within the range may
cause overheating and motor burn-out.
Heavy loads require that the voltage at motor
terminals be no less than the voltage specified
on nameplate.
Improper connection of equipment grounding
conductor can result in the risk of electrical
shock. Equipment should be grounded while
in use to protect operator from electrical shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you do not
understand grounding instructions or if you
are in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
• This tool is equipped with an approved cord
rated at 120V and a 3-prong grounding type
plug (see Figure A)for your protection against
shock hazards.
• Grounding plug should be plugged directly
into a properly installed and grounded 3-prong
grounding typer eceptacle, as shown (see
Figure A).
• Do not remove or alter grounding prong in
any manner. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electrical shock.

•Plug must be plugged into matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordin-
ances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will
not fit in outlet, have proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
•Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged,
have repaired by an authorized service facility.
• Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord
is the grounding wire. If repair or replacement
of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the green (or green and yellow)
wire to a live terminal.
• Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is enco-
untered, it must be replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with National Electric Code and
local codes and ordinances.
This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding
adapter (see Figure B) is available for conn-
ecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is properly
grounded.

MAINTENANCE
MM493B
Make certain that the unit is disconnected
from power source before attempting to service
or remove any component.
CLEANING
Keep machine and workshop clean. Do not
allow sawdust to accumulate on the tool. Keep
the wheels clean. Dirt on the wheels will cause
poor tracking and belt slippage.
Periodically empty the dust collection bag/
canister and clean the filters on your dust
collector (not included) to keep dust collection
at maximum efficiency. Be certain motor is
kept clean and is frequently vacuumed free of
dust.
Use soap and water to clean painted parts,
rubber parts and plastic guards.
LUBRICATION
The shielded ball bearings in this tool are
permanently lubricated at the factory. They
require no further lubrication.
• When operation seems stiff, a light coat of
paste wax applied to the table will make it
easier to feed the work while finishing.
• Do not apply wax to the belt platen. Belt could
pick up wax and deposit it on wheels causing
belt to slip.
• Slide the new belt over the drive and idler
wheels; then center the belt on the wheels.
NOTE: There may be an arrow on the inside
of the belt. The arrow should point in the di-
rection of belt travel to ensure that the splice
in the belt will not come apart.
KEEP TOOL IN REPAIR
• If power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any
way, have it replaced immediately.
• Replace worn abrasives when needed.
• Replace any damaged or missing parts. Use
parts list to order parts.
Any attempt to repair motor may create a
hazard unless repair is done by a qualified
service technician.
