BASIC SANDING OPERATION
NOTE: This tool is approved for sanding wood and wood
products only.
• Select and install the desired sanding sleeve and drum for
the particular application. Choose the size that is similar to
the contour of your workpiece.
WARNING: Failure to use the correct size table insert with
its matching sanding sleeve could result in fingers being
pinched or the workpiece being pulled down between the
table insert and sanding sleeve.
In general, coarse grit removes the most material and fine grit
produces a better finish.
For best results, start with a coarse grit and sand until the
surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove
scratches left by the coarser grit and finer grit used for finish-
ing of the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until
surface is uniform.
DUST COLLECTION
Refer to Figure 10.
A dust collection port has been provided; it is located beneath
the work table on the rear side of the sander. The dust port is
sized to fit the vacuum hose of Craftsman wet/dry vacuums.
The use of dust collection is highly recommended. Sawdust
buildup beneath the table may prevent the spindle from oscil-
lating completely, causing damage to the tool.

WARNING: Make certain that the unit is disconnected from
power source before attempting to service or remove any
component.
CLEANING
Keep machine and workshop clean. Do not allow sawdust to
accumulate on the tool. Keep the drums clean.
Be certain motor is kept clean and is frequently vacuumed
free of dust.
Use soap and water to clean painted parts, rubber parts and
plastic guards.
LUBRICATION
Refer to Figure 11.
The shielded ball bearings in this tool are permanently
lubricated at the factory. They require no further lubrication.
° Apply a light coat of paste wax to the work table. This will
make it easier to feed the work and also prevent rust.
° Periodically apply grease to the worm gear (Ref. No. 54).
KEEP TOOL IN REPAIR
° If power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately.
° Replace worn abrasives when needed.
° Replace any damaged or missing parts. Use parts list to
order parts.
Any attempt to repair motor may create a hazard unless
repair is done by a qualified service technician. Repair
service is available at your nearest Sears store.
