Use Of Extension Cords - Stanley STGS7221 User Manual

Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in
the work area where dust would settle on them.
Environmental Safety
f Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dust generated.
f Areas where paint removal is occurring should be
sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
f Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce
tracking of paint dust outside the work area.
Cleaning And Disposal
f All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and
thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the
sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be
changed frequently.
f Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and
disposed of along with any dust chips or other removal
debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse
receptacles and disposed of through regular trash
pick-up procedures. During clean up, children and
pregnant women should be kept away from the
immediate work area.
f All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by
children should be washed thoroughly before being
used again.
MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate
marking. This information is printed on the nameplate.
Lower voltage will cause loss of power and can result in
over-heating. All Stanley tools are factory-tested; if this
tool does not operate, check the power supply.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before
using. Always use the proper size extension cords with the
tool – that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord
and heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw.
Use of an undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.

ADJUSTMENTS
Warning! To prevent accidental operation, turn off
and unplug sander before performing the following
operations. Failure to do this could result in serious
personal injury.
3 Position handle (FIG. B1 and B2)
A locking mechanism on the side of the handle can be
loosened to allow the handle to move. To adjust the
handle, pull out on the locking arm (FIG. B1) and move the
handle to the desired position (FIG. B2). Once the handle
is in position, push the locking arm in to lock the handle
into position.
2 Position belt cover (FIG. C and D)
The belt sander has an aluminum sanding belt cover at the
front. When the handle is positioned in the uppermost
position, this cover can be raised as shown in FIG. C
(Arrow 1) and locked in this position to:
a. Improve accessibility to narrow areas.
b. Allow the use of the smaller diameter front roller to
sand with (normally the aluminum cover prevents this
when in the "down" position).
c. Expose the top part of the belt for more versatile
sanding (FIG. D).
To lower the belt cover, grasp the flange on the side
and move it slightly in the direction shown in FIG. C
(Arrow 2) and return it to its closed position.
Note: The sanding belt cover cannot be locked in its
raised position unless the bail handle is in the uppermost
position.
Warning! The sanding belt is exposed when the belt
cover is raised. Use extra caution when operating in this
mode.
Adjusting the sanding belt tracking (FIG. E)
Turn the machine upside down (FIG. E), hold it firmly with
one hand, start motor and release switch immediately after
observing tracking of sanding belt. If abrasive belt runs
outward, turn tracking adjustment knob clockwise and
counterclockwise if belt runs inward.
Belt life will be greatly increased by keeping the tracking
adjustment set properly (FIG. E).
Changing the sanding belt (FIG. F and G)
Warning! To prevent accidental operation, turn off and
unplug sander before changing the sanding belt.
Pull the lever shown in FIG. 5 to release the tension on the
sanding belt. Pull the sanding belt from the two rollers. Put
the new 3" x 21" (76 x 533mm) sanding belt in position on
the front and rear rollers (FIG. 6). Ensure that the arrows
on the sanding belt and on your belt sander are pointing
in the same direction. Push the lever to the rear to tension
the sanding belt.
Dust collection (FIG. H)
Warning! To prevent accidental operation, turn off
and unplug sander before installing the dust bag.
When using your belt sander, dust and grit are produced. It
is important to use a dust bag. Connect the dust bag by
