1. TOOL PURPOSE. This sander is designed to sand wood or wood-like products only. Sanding or grinding
other materials could result in fire, injury, or damage to the workpiece. Using the machine for any other pur-
pose for which it is not designed may result in serious injuries, machine damage and voiding of the warranty.
2. MACHINE MOUNTING. For operational safety, the sander must be securely mounted onto a flat and stable
surface or stand.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY.
• Always wear ANSI Z87.1-approved glasses with side shields, hearing protection, and a dust mask.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry, as they might get drawn in by the tool. Tie back long hair.
• DO NOT wear gloves while operating this machine.
4. ELECTRIC CORDS. Keep cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts of the tool. Have an
electrician replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
5. TOOL & ACCESSORIES INSPECTION. Before operation, check the tool and accessories for any damage or
missing parts. Do not use the tool if any part is missing or damaged. Make sure all adjustments are correct
and all connections are tight. Keep all guards in place.
6. SANDING ACCESSORIES.
• Do not use sanding belts or discs that are damaged, torn, or loose. Replace worn or damaged sanding belts
and discs before operation. Use only the correct size sanding belt and disc.
• Always unplug the unit before making adjustments or changing sandpaper, or other parts.
• Make sure the sanding belt is installed in the correct direction. See the directional arrow on the back of the
belt. Always have the tracking adjusted properly so the belt does not run off the pulleys.
7. WORKPIECE REQUIREMENTS.
• Only stand workpieces sturdy enough to withstand the force of the sanding belt and disc.
• Inspect the workpiece for imperfections, nails, staples, etc. before sanding. Never sand stock that has ques-
tionable imperfections or embedded foreign objects.
• When sanding a large workpiece, provide additional support. Do not sand with the workpiece unsupported.
• Sand only one workpiece at a time.
8. PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position prior to plug-
ging in the machine. Always make sure the power switch is in the OFF position and the machine is un-
plugged when doing any cleaning, assembly, setup operations, or when not in use.
9. DO NOT TOUCH MOVING PIECES. Keep hands away from the belt/disc during operation. If cleaning is nec-
essary, use a brush to remove sawdust and chips instead of your hands.
10. Remove scrap pieces and other objects from the table and sanding belt/disc before turning ON the sander.
