OPERATING THE SANDER
See Figure 9.
Follow these steps to operate the sander.
■
Secure the work to prevent it from moving under the
sander.
A
WARNING: Unsecured work could be thrown
towards the operator causing injury.
■
Turn the sander on and let the motor reach its
maximum speed before placing the sander on the
work surface.
■
Lower the sander to the work surface with a slight
forward motion.
■
Move the sander slowly over the work surface,
using the rear handle to control the sander and the
front handle to guide the sander.
Note: Allowing the sander to remain in one place
will result in an uneven surface.
A
WARNING: Keep a firm grip on the sander with
both hands at all times. Failure to do so could
result in loss of control leading to possible serious
injury.
We designed the sander to provide the proper weight on
the sanding belt. Excessive pressure will result in the
following:
■
Uneven work
■
Clogged sanding belts
■
Premature sanding belt wear
■
Possible motor burnout
■
Irregular sanding belt tracking
A
WARNING: Keep hands and fingers clear of
moving sanding belt, front idler roller, and drive
roller assembly. Failure to do so will result in
serious personal injury.

PROPER HAND PLACEMENT
See Figure 10.
For ease of operation and maintaining proper control,
the sander has a front handle and a rear handle. These
handles allow two-handed operation, which aids in
maintaining control, keeping the sanding area level with
the workpiece, and keeping hands clear of the sanding
belt. When operating the sander, always hold the front
handle with your left hand and the rear handle with your
right hand.
A
WARNING: Do not let your fingers rest over the
front or right edge of the sander. If the sanding belt
were to run off, or if it were not properly adjusted,
your fingers could come in contact with the moving
sanding belt resulting in possible serious injury.
