INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
Your Craftsman 3-Inch Belt Sander is suitable for
coarse, medium and fine sanding of wood, metals,
plastics and other materials. It is ideal when used for
smoothing rough boards, chamfering, rounding
edges and many other general sanding applications.
Its balanced design makes it easy to use. All the
bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit
under normal operating conditions, therefore, no fur-
ther lubrication is required.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety, in electric
power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual
three wire grounded power cord and grounded supp-
ly system. Wherever there is electric current in the
tool there are two complete sets of insulation to pro-
tect the user. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal metal motor components with pro-
tecting insulation.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION --
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT -- Servicing of a tool with double in-
sulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a qualified
service technician. For service, return the tool to
your nearest Sears store for repair which will be
done with original factory replacement parts. WARN-
