INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE
CAUTION! Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the work piece to be sanded.
Plan your work to avoid THROWBACKS when the work piece
catches the sanding belt or disc and is torn from your hands.
• Make sure there's no debris between the workpiece and its sup-
ports.
• When sanding irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work
support so it will not slip and be pulled from your hands.
• Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces.
• Never use this tool to finish pieces too small to hold by hand.
• Use extra support (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) for any work-
pieces large enough to tip when not held down to the table top.
• Never use another person as a substitute for a table extension, or
as additional support for a workpiece that is longer or wider than
the basic sander table, or to helt feed, support, or pull the work-
piece.
• When finishing on the disc, always press the workpiece against
the "down" side of the disc. Sanding against the side coming up
from under the table could damage the work by making it "chat-
ter", or tear the work from your hands and throw it.
• Sand only one workpiece at a time.
• Clear everything except the workpiece and rated support devices
of the table before turning the sander on.
Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start to finish.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause fingers or hand to move into a sanding surface. Keep
fingers away from where the belt goes into the dust trap.
DONT'T OVERREACH. Keep good footing and balance.
Keep your face and body to one side, out off line with a possible
throwback.
WHEN SANDER IS RUNNING
WARNING! Don't let familiarity (gained from frequent
use of your belt and disc sander) cause a careless mistake.
A careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.
Before starting your work, watch the sander while it runs. If it
makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn
the sander off. Unplug the sander. Do not restart until finding and
correcting the problem. Make sure the sanding disc turn counterc-
lockwise
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Keep all visitors a safe distance from
the sander. Make sure bystanders are clear of the sander and work-
piece.
DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at its
designed rate. Press the workpiece against the sanding material
only hard enough to let it sand without bogging down or binding:
• Turn the switch "OFF".
• Unplug the sander
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
BEFORE LEAVING THE SANDER:
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a completed stop.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDREN PROOF. Lock the shop.
Disconnect master switches.
BEVEL SANDING
The work table can be tilted from 0° to 45° for bevel sanding.
Loosen the table lock knob and tilt the worktable to desired as
shown. Retighten table lock knob.

WARNING!
To avoid trapping the work or fingers between the table and
sanding surface, the table should repositioned on the table support
to retain a maximum 2 mm distance between sanding surface and
table.

A bed locking hex socket head screw locks the belt bed in a verti-
cal or horizontal position.
To adjust vertical position:
1. Remove the work support.
2. Loosen the hex socket head locking screw using a 6 mm hex
