SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR BELT AND DISC SANDER

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BELT AND DISC SANDER

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing

how your belt disc sander works. Read this manual to understand this

sander.

BEFORE USING THE SANDER

WARNING: To avoid mistakes that could cause serious, permanent in-

jury, do not plug sander in until the following is understand.

• Assembly and alignment.

• Learn the use and function of the ON-OFF switch, belt tracking knob,

work tables and work table tilt lock knobs.

• Review and understanding of all safety instructions and operating pro-

cedures in this manual.

• Review of the maintenance methods for this sander.

WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE SANDER

AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Use the sander in a dry, indoor

place protected from rain. Keep work area well lighted. Place the sander

so neither the user nor bystander are forced to stand in line with the

abrasive belt or disc.

To avoid injury from unexpected sander movement:

• Always unplug the sander before moving it.

• Put the sander on a firm level surface where there is plenty of room

for handing and properly supporting the workpiece.

• Support the sander so it does not rock.

• Bolt the sander to its work surface.

• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool tips.

Do not store anything above or near the tool where anyone might

stand on the tool to reach them.

BEFORE EACH USE:

Inspect your sander.

DISCONNECT THE SANDER. To avoid injury from accidental starting,

unplug the sander, turn the switch off and remove the switch key before

changing the setup, sanding disc or belt or adjusting anything.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS, Check for:

• alignment of moving parts

• binding of moving parts

• broken parts

• work parts that cause a gap larger than 1/16’’ between work support

and sanding surface.

• sanding belt narrower than 1 inches. Narrower belts uncover parts

that could trap your fingers,

• worn or damaged electric cords,

• stable mounting , and

• any other conditions that may affect the way the sander works.

If any part is missing, bent, or broken in any way, or any electrical parts

don’t work properly, turn the sander off and unplug the sander. RE-

PLACE damaged, missing or failed parts before using the sander again.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep the sander clean for best and

safest performance. Follow instruction for lubricating.

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES from tool before turn-

ing it on.

To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces:

• USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of improper

accessories may cause risk of injury to person.

• Adjust any work support to clear the sanding surface by no more 1/16”.

• Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no parts have excessive

play.

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite ac-

cidents. Floor must not be slippery.

To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the sander near

flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

PLAN AHEAD TO PROTECT YOUR EYES, HANDS, FACE, EARS.

KNOW YOUR SANDER. Read and understand the instruction

manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its application and limita-

tions as well as the specific potential hazards related to it.

To avoid injury from accidental contact with moving parts:

• KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in working order.

• Don’t do layout, assembly, or setup work on the sander while any parts

are moving.

• AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure switch is “OFF” before

plugging sander into a power outlet.

Plan your work.

USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job

it was not designed to do.

CAUTION: This machine is not designed for heavy deburring op-

erations. When finishing metals, sparks or hot fragments could

cause a fire. To avoid this:

• Disconnect any dust collecting hose from the sander.

• Remove all traces of wood dust from the sander.

• Remove all traces of metal dust from the sander before

sanding wood again.

Dress for safety.

Any power sanders can throw foreign object into eyes. This can cause

permanent eye damage. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resist-

ant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety glasses are available.

• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry ( rings, wrist,

watches). They can get caught and draw your fingers into moving parts.

Safety instructions for belt and disc sander:

• Wear nonslip footwear.

• Tie back long hair.

• Roll long sleeve above the elbow.

• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing damage, wear ear

plugs or muffs when using sander for hours at a time.

• Sanding operations are usually dusty. Wear a dust mask along with

the safety glasses.

Inspect your workpiece.

Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the work-

piece to be sanded.

Plan your work to avoid THROWBACKS - when the workpiece

catches on the sanding belt or disc and torn from your hands.

• Make sure there’s no debris between the workpiece and its supports.

• When sanding irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work support

so it will not slip and be pulled from your hands.

• Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces.

• Never use this tool to finish pieces too small to hold by hand.

• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks etc. ) for any

workpieces large enough to tip when not held down to the table top.

• NEVER use another person as a substitute for a table extension, or

as additional support for a workpiece that is longer or wider than the

basic sander table, or to help feed, support, or pull the workpiece.

• When finishing on the disc, always press the workpiece againt the

“Down” side of the disc. Sanding against the side coming up from

under the table could damage the work by making it chatter, or tear

the work from your hands and throw it.

• Sand only one workpiece at a time.

• Clear everything except the workpiece and related support devices off

the table before turning the sander on.

Plan the way you will hold the worpiece from start to finish.

Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip

could cause fingers or hand to move into a sanding surface. Keep the

fingers away from where the belt goes into the dust trap.

DON’T OVERREACH. Keep good footing and balance. Keep your face

and body to one side, out of line with a possible throwback.

WHENEVER SANDER IS RUNNING

WARNING: Don’t let familliarity (gained from frequent use of your belt

and disc sander) cause a careless mistake. A careless fraction of a

second is enough to cause a severe injury. Before starting your work,

watch the sander while it runs. If it makes an unfamilliar noise or vibrates

a lot, stop immediately. Turn the sander off. Unplug the sander. Do not

restart until finding and correcting the problem. Make sure the sanding

disc turns counterclockwise before using the sander.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Keep all visitors a safe distance from the

sander. Make sure bystanders are clear of the sander and workpiece.

DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do better and safer job at its designed rate.

Press the workpiece against the sanding material only hard enough to

let it sand without bogging down or binding.

Before freeing any jammed material:

• Turn switch "OFF"

• Unplug the sander.

• Wait for all moving parts to stop.

BEFORE LEAVING THE SANDER:

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF.

Don' t leave until it comes to a complete stop.

MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF. Lock the shop. Disconnect master

switches. Remove the yellow switch key. Store it away from children and

others not qualified to use the tool.

OPERATION & ADJUSTMENTS

DISC SANDING

Warning! Always make sure the sander is unplugged prior to attempting any installa-

tion or changing of parts and accessories.

When sanding, always position your workpiece (A) Fig.19 on the downward, rotating

side (left side) of the sanding disc as shown. Sanding on the right side of the sanding

disc, upward rotating side is dangerous, as your workpiece cannot be controlled and

‘kick-back’ may occur - the wood being forced up and out of your hands.

Use the miter gauge (B) Fig.19 for added control of the work piece during sanding.

The miter gauge can also be set to various degree angles for maintaining accurate

angles when sanding small or multiple parts.

Do not force the work piece into the sanding disc. Sand using light pressure, move

your workpiece 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-ac-

tion heat build-up.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended to use a dust-collection system when using this

belt & disc sander. Use of a dust mask or respirator is still recommended, even when

a dust collection system is in use.

BELT SANDING

Warning! Always make sure the sander is unplugged prior to attempting any installa-

tion or changing of parts and accessories.

Depending on what type of sanding that you will be doing, set the sanding belt table

to the proper angle using a square or a protractor.

Use the miter gauge when convenient for added control of the workpiece during sand-

ing. The miter gauge can also be set to various degree angles for maintaining accurate

angles when sanding small or multiple parts.

Do not force the workpiece (A) Fig.20 into the sanding belt (B). Sand using light pres-

sure. Move your workpiece slightly left and right on the belt. This will help prevent resin

or debris from building up on one area of the belt, and also helps to prevent burning of

the sanded surface from excessive abrasive-action heat build-up.

The platen (C) Fig.20 supports the back of the sanding belt and offers a flat surface to

sand or sharpen against. It should be positioned so it is almost touching the back of

the sanding belt. To adjust the platen, loosen the cap screw (A) Fig.21 at the rear of

the platen. The platen can also be removed for contour sanding or polishing.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended to use a dust-collection system when using this

belt & disc sander. Use of a dust mask or respirator is still recommended, even when

a dust collection system is in use.

ADJUSTING THE SANDING BELT TRACKING

1. Belt tracking on the centre of the drive wheels is pre-set at the factory. If an adjust-

ment is needed, the sander must be turned on.

2. While the belt is turning, slowly turn the belt tracking knob (A) Fig.22 to correct the

tracking of the belt, left or right as needed, so that the belt finally rides on the centre

of the top drive wheel (B).
