SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
& ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
1. T
he combination of wood dust and metal filings can create a
f
ire hazard. Before the machine is used for shaping metal
products, make sure there are no wood dust deposits inside
the machine or in the dust collector.
2. Keep all guards in place and in working order.
3. C
heck belt before operating the sander to make sure that the
belt is not torn or loose. Also check that the belt is tracking
properly.
4. When using the disc, always sand on the side of the disc which
is moving downwards. Using the other half will cause the
workpiece to fly up, and is potentially very dangerous.
5. When sanding long or heavy materials that could cause the
sander to tip over, secure the sander to a bench or other
supporting surface. Also, provide additional support for the
work table if it is necessary.
6. D
o not sand pieces that are too small to be held onto securely.
A
lways hold the work firmly when sanding, and do not
attempt any freehand operations. The workpiece should be
held firmly to the table.
7. Use this sander for what it was designed for. Do not try to
p
erform operations that are behond its capabilities.
8. Do not force the machine. Feed materials into it at a rate that
does not slow or stall the motor.
9. Always turn the sander off and unplug it before changing the
belt or disc.
10. If any guard or other parts of the sander becomes damaged,
make sure it will still perform its intended function, if it does
not, have the part replaced before operating the sander.
WARNING
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY! ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE SANDER DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER
SOURCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
WARNING: YOUR SANDER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 110V, 15-
AMP, BRANCH CIRCUIT AND USE A 15-AMP TIME DELAY FUSE
OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY
CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.
WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS SANDER CAN
CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN
DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER
CORD IS WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT
REPLACED IMMEDIA
TELY
.
GROUNDING
This sander must be gr
ounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
curr
ent, to r
educe the risk of electric shock. This band saw is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
110V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your sander is ready to run at 110V
operation. This sander is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet and a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
W
ARNING:
DO NOT USE
A
TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR FOR THEY
ARE NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND
ORDINANCES. NEVER USE IN CANADA.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type
plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. The use of
any extension cord will cause some loss of power
. For circuits that are
further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire size must be
increased proportionately in or
der to deliver ample voltage to the
sander motor.
