Frequently Asked Questions (11)

  • How do I use the Craftsman 351.225930 belt sander?

    To use the belt sander:

    • For finishing flat surfaces, hold the workpiece firmly with both hands, keeping fingers away from the abrasive belt. Use the table to position and secure the work, keeping the end butted against the table and moving the work evenly across the abrasive belt.
    • For finishing long pieces, use the belt in a horizontal position with the work stop. Apply only enough pressure to allow the abrasive belt to remove material. Keep the end butted against the work stop and move the work evenly across the abrasive belt.
    • For finishing curved edges, finish outside curves on the flat portion of the abrasive belt and inside curves on the idler drum portion.
    • For finishing end grain, it is more convenient to finish ends of long workpieces with the abrasive belt in a vertical position. Position the table on the belt side of the sander and move the work evenly across the abrasive belt. For accuracy, use a miter gauge. The table may be tilted for beveled work.

  • How do I troubleshoot common operational issues with the Craftsman 351.225930 belt sander?

    Common operational issues and their corrective actions are:

    • Motor will not start:
      • If due to low voltage, check the power line for proper voltage.
      • If due to an open circuit in motor or loose connections, inspect all lead connections on the motor for loose or open connection.
      • If due to a defective switch, replace the switch.
      • If due to a defective capacitor, replace the capacitor.
    • Motor will not start; fuses blown or circuit breakers are tripped:
      • If due to a short circuit in the line cord or plug, inspect the line cord or plug for damaged insulation and shorted wires.
      • If due to a short circuit in motor or loose connections, inspect all lead connections on the motor for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation on wires.
      • If due to incorrect fuses or circuit breakers, install correct fuses or circuit breakers.
    • Motor fails to develop full power:
      • If due to an overloaded power line, reduce the load on the power line.
      • If due to undersized or too long wires/circuits, increase wire sizes or reduce the length of wiring.
      • If due to general overloading of power company's facilities, request a voltage check from the power company.
    • Motor overheats: If due to an overloaded motor, reduce the load on the motor.
    • Motor stalls:
      • If due to short circuit in motor or loose connections, inspect motor connections for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation on lead wires.
      • If due to low voltage, correct the low line voltage conditions.
      • If due to incorrect fuses or circuit breakers, install correct fuses or circuit breakers.
      • If due to an overloaded motor, reduce the load on the motor.
    • Machine slows down while operating: If due to applying too much pressure to the workpiece, ease up on pressure.
    • Abrasive belt runs off top wheel: If due to not tracking properly, see the operation section "Adjusting Belt Tracking".
    • Dust collection not working:
      • If the dust collection bag is full, empty it.
      • If the belt is loose or broken, replace the belt.
      • If the impeller is loose or broken, replace the impeller.

  • Can I connect a vacuum system to the Craftsman 351.225930 belt sander?

    Yes, the sander has a built-in dust collection system that collects dust from the belt and disc and exhausts it into an included 30-micron collection bag. To attach the dust collection bag, place the clamp over the bag sleeve, slide the sleeve with the clamp over the dust port, and secure it by tightening the clamp handle.


    For more information, see pages 4 and 5 of the manual.

  • How do I clean and maintain the Craftsman 351.225930 belt sander?

    For cleaning and maintenance:

    • Cleaning:
      • Keep the machine and workshop clean. Do not allow sawdust to accumulate on the tool.
      • Keep the drums clean to prevent poor tracking and belt slippage.
      • Periodically empty the dust collection bag.
      • Ensure the motor is kept clean and frequently vacuumed free of dust.
      • Use soap and water to clean painted parts, rubber parts, and plastic guards.
    • Lubrication:
      • The shielded ball bearings are permanently lubricated and require no further lubrication.
      • If operation seems stiff, apply a light coat of paste wax to the belt table and disc table to make it easier to feed work. Do not apply wax to the belt platen, as it could cause the belt to slip.
    • Keep Tool in Repair:
      • If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged, have it replaced immediately.
      • Replace worn abrasives when needed.
      • Replace any damaged or missing parts using the parts list.
