GENERAL & SPECIFIC

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual

cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood

by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this

product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Note: Performance of this tool may vary depending on variations in local line voltage.

Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance.

VOLTAGE WARNING

Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, ect.) be sure the voltage

supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. If one says 120V and

the other says 115V then there will be no complications. Never try to plug a 120V tool into

a 240V outlet, or the other way around. A voltage greater than that specified on the tool

can result in

SERIOUS INJURY to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO

NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized two-prong plug (one blade is wider

than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit

fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to

install a polarized outlet. Do not alter or change the plug in any way. Double insulation

eliminates the need for three wire grounded power supply and grounded power cords.

EXTENSION CORDS

Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of your tool which can

result in overheating. Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow sufficient current flow

to the motor. If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor

use (signified by “WA” on the jacket).

The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on the amperage of the

tool and the length of the extension cord. This size is determined by its AWG (American

Wire Gauge) rating. The smaller the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity. The amount

of cords used does not matter: Total length determines the minimum AWG rating. Every

cord must meet the AWG rating. Use the chart below to determine what AWG rating is

required for your situation. Cord length is rated in feet.

roller is free of all debris before installing belt.

Place the new sanding belt in place around

the two rollers, the belt should be centered

between the front and the rear rollers. Push

tension the sanding belt.

ADJUSTING SANDING BELT TRACKING

To adjust the sanding belt tracking, turn the

sander upside down. Hold the sander firmly

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

DUST COLLECTION

Warning

! Before installing the dust bag, unplug

the belt sander from its source of power.

When using your belt sander, dust and grit are

produced, therefore it is important to use the

supplied dust bag (A) Fig.4. Connect the dust

bag nozzle (B) to the dust chute adaptor (C) on

the belt sander.

Caution! Do not allow the dust bag to get too

full. Empty the dust bag regularly to improve the

dust collection, this will also reduce the risk of

spontaneous combustion especially when sanding polyurethane, varnish, etc. Do not

dispose of the dust particules in an open fire. You should always empty the dust bag

before each time you store the tool away.

Caution! When working on metal surfaces, do not use the dust bag or a vacuum

cleaner because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Due to

the danger of fire, do not use your belt sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use

for wet sanding.

SANDING LEAD BASED PAINT

Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED

due to the difficulties control-

ling the contaminated dust, children and pregnant women run the greatest risks of lead

posioning.

OPERATION HINTS

For best results, it is important to lay the platen (sander base) flat on the workpiece while

sanding to prevent gouging. Always start your belt sanding before it is in contact with the

workpiece. When possible, clamp your workpiece to a work bench. Use the correct grit

sanding belt for your application. 60 Grit-paint removal, 80 Grit- Solid wood/steel, 100

Grit- plastic/acrylic.

MAINTAINING YOUR BELT SANDER

: To assure product SAFETY

and RELIABILITY

, repairs, maintenance and

adjustments should be performed by an authorized service center or other qualified

service technician, always using identical replacement parts.

Never apply excessive force on your belt sander

, overloading and motor damage could

happen. Always keep the air cooling vents clear of debris using a clean dry paint brush.

Compressed air is not recommended because of the air borne dust particules it creates.
