SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE BELT & SPINDLE SANDER
10. Replace worn or damaged belts before operation. Always unplug the unit before making adjustments or chang-
ing sandpaper or drums.
11. When sanding a large workpiece, provide additional support. Do not sand with the workpiece unsupported.
12. Inspect the workpiece for imperfections, nails, staples, etc. before sanding. Never sand stock that has question-
able imperfections or embedded foreign objects.
13. Always remove scrap pieces and other objects from the table, backstop, or belt before turning the sander ON.
14. Never perform layout, assembly or set-up work on the table while the sander is operating.
15. Never use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Use only a
soft damp cloth to clean plastic parts.
16. Should any component of your sander be missing/damaged or fail in any way, shut off switch and remove plug
from power supply outlet. Replace the missing, damaged, or failed parts before resuming operation.
17. Keep cords away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Have an electrician replace or repair damaged or worn cords
immediately.
18. Always use the table insert that fits the diameter of the drum to minimize the gap and reduce risk of injury.
19. Only sand workpieces sturdy enough to withstand the force of the sanding belts and spindles.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance
for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
licensed electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conduc-
tor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instruc-
tions or whether the tool is properly grounded.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a li-
censed electrician check the outlet.
