WARNING:
Operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe
eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with
United States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before com-
mencing power tool operation. Safety goggles are available at
Sears retail stores or catalog.
CAUTION:
Always observe following safety precautions.
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
• Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on the tool, turn
switch OFF and remove the plug from power source.
Recheck table handles. They must be tightened securely.
Make sure all guards are properly attached. All guards
should be securely fastened.
Make sure all moving parts are free and clear of any
interference.
Make sure all fasteners are tight and have not vibrated
loose.
With power disconnected,
test operation by hand for clear-
ance and adjust if necessary.
Always wear eye protection or face shield.
Make sure abrasive belt always tracks properly. Correct
tracking gives optimum performance.
After turning switch on, always allow belt to come up to full
speed before sanding or grinding.
Be sure motor runs clockwise on disc side. Abrasive belt
must travel down.
Avoid kickback by sanding in accordance with the direction-
al arrows.
Keep your hands clear of abrasive belt, disc and all moving
parts.
For optimum performance,
do not stall motor or reduce
speed. Do not force the work into the abrasive.
Support workpiece with belt table when sanding with belt,
with disc table when sanding with disc.
Never push a sharp corner of the workpiece rapidly against
the belt or disc. Abrasive backing may tear.
Replace abrasives when they become loaded (glazed) or
frayed.
When grinding metal, move workpiece across abrasive to
prevent heat built up.
Never attempt wet sanding. If the workpiece becomes too
hot to handle, cool it in water.
REPLACING
ABRASIVE
BELT
Refer to Figure 9, page10.
• Sanding belt should be replaced when worn, torn, or
glazed. Remove belt dust chute (Key No. 40) by removing
two washer head screws (Key No. 25).
• Release belt tension by pushing tension lever (Key No. 63)
toward idler drum. Slide old belt off the drive and idler
drums (Key Nos. 52 and 66).
NOTE: There may be an arrow on the inside of the belt. The
arrow should point down toward the belt table to ensure that
the splice in the belt will not come apart.
• Slide new belt over the drive and idler drums; center belt on
drums.
• Push tension lever towards drive drum to tension belt.
Rotate belt by hand to check tracking. Belt should ride cen-
tered on drive and idler drums. Adjust thumb nut (Key No.
75) as needed to center belt on drums. Tighten hex nut
(Key No. 39). If adjustment of thumb nut does not provide
desirable tracking, adjust the stud (Key No. 72) using an
allen wrench. To adjust stud, loosen hex nut (Key No. 39)
and turn stud counterclockwise
to move belt to the right or
clockwise to move belt to the left until belt rides centered
on drive and idler drums. Tighten hex nut while holding the
stud in place.
Mount belt dust chute using washer head screws.
ADJUSTING
BELT ASSEMBLY
POSITION
Refer to Figure 9, page 10.
Sanding belt assembly can be adjusted from horizontal to ver-
tical position.
• Loosen socket head bolt (Key No. 54) that is threaded
into
pivot bracket (Key No. 38).
• Tilt belt assembly to desired position (from horizontal to
vertical). Secure belt assembly position by tightening socket
head bolt in pivot bracket.
ADJUSTING
BELT TABLE
Refer to Figure 9, page 10.
• To adjust belt table angle, loosen socket head bolt
(Key No. 41 ).
• Tilt belt table to desired position. Adjust for 1/1_" m aximum
clearance between the belt and the table. Secure by tight-
ening socket head bolt.
HORIZONTAL
BELT SANDING
Refer to Figure 9, page 10.
• The belt platen can be tilted from a vertical to a horizontal
position.
• Remove the belt table by removing the socket head bolt
and flat washer (Key Nos. 41 and 37). Loosen the socket
head bolt (Key No. 54); tilt the belt platen assembly to the
horizontal position and tighten the socket head bolt to
secure position.
• Idler drum can be used as a contact drum to sand sur-
faces.
WORK STOP
Refer to Figure 9, page 10.
The work stop (Key No 42) can be used instead of the belt
table.
• Remove socket head bolt and flat washer (Key Nos. 41 and
37) holding belt table on pivot bracket. Remove belt table.
• Mount work stop to pivot bracket using the socket head bolt
and washer (Key Nos. 41 and 37).
SHARPENING
Refer to Figure 7, page 7.
Adjust belt table to desired sharpening
angle and tighten
securely. Use belt sander/grinder
to notch the back of an
auxiliary piece of wood.
Using a C-clamp, attach auxiliary piece of wood to table. It
acts as a support while sharpening
(see Figure 7).
Top edge of wood should be less than 1/1_" f rom abrasive
belt.
