Installing The Sandpaper - Craftsman 172.11625 Owner's Manual

Electrical Connection
Your sander has a precision-buiR electric motor and it should only be
connected to a 120-volt, 60-Hz. power supply (normal household current).
DO NOT operate on direct current (DC). This large voltage drop will cause a
loss of power that will overheat the motor. If your sander does not operate
when plugged into an outlet, check the power supply.

Z_ WARNING:
Your sander should NEVER be connected to the
power source when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
installing or removing sandpaper, cleaning or when it is not in use.
Disconnecting the sander will prevent accidental starting, that could
cause serious personal injury.
INSTALLING THE SANDPAPER (See Figs. 2 & 3)
This sander has a cushion that allows you to use: either non-adhesive
sandpaper, pressure-sensitive sandpaper or adhesive-backed sandpaper.
The non-adhesive sandpaper clamps to the platen. Adhesive-backed
sandpaper sticks to the cushion.
NOTE: This sander has dust collection, so we recommend that you use
sandpaper with pre-punched holes that will line up with the holes in the cushion.
Installing Non-Adhesive Sandpaper (See Fig, 2 on next page)
ALWAYS inspect the sandpaper before installing. DO NOT use
if broken or defective.
1. Unplug the sander.
I Z_ WARNING:
Failure to unplug the sander could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
