• Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance with National Electric Code and
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 6) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet
if it is properly grounded.

• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless
permitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in
Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on
the side of the adapter must be securely connected to a
permanent electrical ground such as a properly grounded
water pipe, a properly grounded outlet box or a properly
grounded wire system.
• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are
not properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding
means must be tested by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in volt-
age and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to
carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool
plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
All electrical connections must be performed by
a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
Make sure tool is off and disconnected from
power source while motor is mounted, connected, reconnect-
ed or any time wiring is inspected.
Motor and wires are installed as shown in wiring diagram
(See Figure 7). Motor is assembled with approved, 3-conduc-
tor cord to be used at 115/230 volts. Motor is prewired at the
factory for 115 volts.

Sander has a locking rocker switch with removable key for
safe and easy operation.
• Remove the key from the locking rockerto prevent unau-
thorized use of the tool. To replace the key, press key into
the slot on the locking rocker.
Sander also has a thermal overload protector to prevent dam-
age to motor and other electrical components. The thermal
overload protector will get activated when high temperature
conditions are observed while operating the tool, This will turn
the tool offto prevent temperature buildup. If that occurs, give
adequate time for the sander to cool down and depress the
reset button once. The tool will be ready to operate.
Refer to Figures 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, pages 6, 7, 10 and 12.
DESCRIPTION
Craftsman 6" Oscillating Belt and 12" Disc Sander with cabi-
net is constructed of rugged cast iron and heavy gauge steel
providing stability and vibration-free operation. The 6 x 48"
belt and 12" diameter disc are used to sand, deburr, bevel
and grind large workpieces of wood, plastic and metal.
The 6 x 48" belt housing can be pivoted from vertical to hori-
zontal for sanding large, straight workpieces. The belt assem-
bly includes a tilting cast iron table that tilts 45 °, miter gauge
and 4" dust collection chute. The belt oscillates right and left
to reduce heat build-up and extend belt life.
The 12" diameter disc can be used to sand or bevel surfaces
with the use of a cast iron table that tilts out 45 ° and in 20 °,
miter gauge slot and 4" dust collection chute.
The 3" diameter idler drum permits the sanding of contoured
shapes and finishes by positioning the adjustable platen from
a horizontal to vertical position.
