SAFETY INFORMATION
4. Keep hands away from the drum and belt during
operation. Do not touch moving pieces. If cleaning is
necessary, use a brush to remove sawdust and chips
instead of your hands.
5. Do not use sanding belts or drums that are damaged,
torn, or loose. Use only the correct size sanding belt.
6. Always hold the workpiece firmly when sanding. Keep
hands away from sanding belt or spindle. Sand only one
workpiece at a time.
7. Always hold the workpiece firmly on the table when using
the sander.
8. Allow spindle to reach full speed before sanding. Do not
forcefully jam a workpiece into the sanding surface. Firmly
hold the workpiece and lightly ease it against the spindle.
9. Replace worn or damaged belts before operation. Always
unplug the unit before making adjustments or changing
sandpaper or drums.
10. When sanding a large workpiece, provide additional
support. Do not sand with the workpiece unsupported.
11. Inspect the workpiece for imperfections, nails, staples,
etc. before sanding. Never sand stock that has
questionable imperfections or embedded foreign objects.
12. Always remove scrap pieces and other objects from
the table, backstop, or belt before turning the sander ON.
13. Never perform layout, assembly or set-up work on
the table while the sander is operating.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. Keep cords away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Have
an electrician replace or repair damaged or worn cords
immediately.
17. Always use the table insert that fits the diameter of
the drum to minimize the gap and reduce risk of injury.
18. 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

UNPACKING

Open the packaging and remove the device carefully.
Remove the packaging material as well as the packaging
and transport bracing (if available).
Check that the delivery is complete.
Check the device and accessory parts for transport damage.
If possible, store the packaging until the warranty period
has expired.
Familiarise yourself with the product by means of
the operating instructions before using for the first time.
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 conductor 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 instructions
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 licensed
electrician check the outlet.
WARNING
This tool is for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or use in damp locations.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The table below shows the correct
size to be used according to cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or
have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive
heat and damp/wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit
must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected
with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor
to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position
and the electric current is rated the same as the current
stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage
will damage the motor.
WARNING This tool must be grounded while in use
to protect the operator from electric shock.
With accessories as well as wearing parts and replacement
parts use only original parts.
When ordering please provide our article number as well as
type and year of manufacture for your equipment.
