manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of

importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember

that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper

accident prevention measures.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert

against unsafe practices.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

COULD result in death or serious injury.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

WILL result in death or serious injury.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about

mended accessories. The use of improper

accessories may cause risk of injury.

20. DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at

the speed for which the machine or acces

sory was designed.

21. SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or

a vise to hold the workpiece when practi-

cal. A secured workpiece protects your

hands and frees both hands to operate the

machine.

22. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot

ing and balance at all times.

23. MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT THE

Dust Collection

You may attach the Model G0458 drum sander

to a dust collection system if you do not use the

included dust bag. If you are using your own dust

collection system, we recommend using a system

that can collect a minimum of 400 CFM AT THE

DUST PORT.

Note:

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation

with the rating of the dust collector. To determine

the CFM at the dust port, you must take into

account many variables, including the rating of

the dust collector, the length of hose between the

dust collector and the machine, the amount of

branches or wyes, and the amount of other open

lines throughout the system.

When the dust collection is working properly, a

fine layer of dust may be present on your stock

as it comes out of the sander. This is a normal

characteristic of all drum sanders.

To connect the dust ports to a dust collector:

1. Attach a 2

⁄2" dust collection hose to the dust

port and secure with a hose clamp.

Test Run

Now that the machine is assembled, perform a

test run to make sure all the controls are working

properly.

Before starting the sander, make sure you

have performed the preceding assembly

and adjustment instructions, and you have

read through the rest of the manual and

are familiar with the various functions and

safety issues associated with this machine.

Failure to follow this warning could result in

serious personal injury or even death!

To test run the sander:

1. Put on safety glasses and make sure any

bystanders are out of the way and also wear

ing safety glasses.

2. Connect the sander to power.

3. Flip the ON/OFF switch ON. Make sure

that your finger is poised over the

ON/OFF

switch, just in case there is a problem.

The drum sander should run smoothly, with

little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange

or unnatural noises MUST be investigated

and corrected before operating the machine

further. To avoid injury or damage to the

machine, DO NOT attempt to make adjust-

ments to the machine without turning it

OFF

and unplugging it from its power source.

Investigate and correct any problems before

operating the machine further. If you need help,

refer to the Troubleshooting section in the back

of this manual or contact Tech Support at (570)

546-9663.

DO NOT operate the Model G0458 without

adequate dust collection. This sander cre

ates substantial amounts of wood dust while

operating. Failure to use dust collection can

result in short and long-term respiratory ill

ness.
