WARNING:
Applying the workpiece to the right side of the sanding
disc could cause the workpiece to kickback and/or loss
of control. Failure to heed this warning could result in
serious personal injury.
:
WARNING
Do not reach across the sanding disc to turn the belt/
disc sander ON or OFF. Contact with the sanding disc
can result in serious personal injury.
POWER SWITCH
See Figure 11, page 16.
The belt/disc sander is equipped with a power switch that
has a built-in locking feature. This feature is intended to
prevent unauthorized and possible hazardous use by chil-
dren and others.
TO TURN THE BELT/DISC SANDER ON:
 With the switch key inserted into the switch, lift the switch
button to turn ON.
TO TURN THE BELT/DISC SANDER OFF:
 Press the switch button down to turn OFF.
WARNING:
ALWAYS remove the switch key when the tool is not in
use and keep it in a safe place. In the event of a power
failure, turn the switch OFF and remove the key. This ac-
tion will prevent the tool from accidentally starting when
power returns.
WARNING:
ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact
with the belt before operating the switch to start the tool.
Failure to heed this warning may cause the workpiece to
be kicked back toward the operator and result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of accidental starting, ALWAYS make
sure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging
tool into the power source.
OPERATION
LOCKING THE SWITCH
See Figure 12, page 16.
 Place the switch in the OFF position.
 Wait until the belt/disc sander has come to a full and
complete stop.
 Remove the switch key from the switch assembly. Store
key in safe place.
BEVEL SANDING
See Figures 13 - 14, page 16.
The worktable can be tilted from 0° to 45° for bevel sand-
ing. For angles 30º and above, position sander to the edge
of the work bench and mount sander in place as shown in
figures 9 and 10.
To tilt the worktable:
 Loosen the table lock knob by turning it counterclockwise.
 Set worktable to desired angle.
 Tighten the table lock knob by turning it clockwise.
SANDING SMALL END SURFACES USING THE
MITER GAUGE
See Figure 15, page 16.
A miter gauge is included with the tool for increased
accuracy. Use of a miter gauge is recommended for sanding
small end surfaces on the sanding disc.
NOTE: Always move the workpiece across the sanding disc
from the left side toward the center.
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL SANDING
See Figure 16, page 17.
The belt/disc sander can sand both vertically and horizon-
tally. Depending on the workpiece, use the work support
for horizontal sanding operations and use the work table for
vertical sanding operations.
 Using the hex key provided, loosen the positioning bolt
by turning the bolt counterclockwise.
 Move the sanding belt into a vertical position.
 Lock the sanding belt by retightening the positioning bolt.
NOTE: Sand long workpieces with the sanding belt in the
vertical position by moving the work evenly across the
sanding belt.
WARNING:
ALWAYS use the work support for horizontal sanding and
use the work table for vertical sanding. Using the sander
without also using the work support or work table may
expose the operator to pinch points and could result in
serious personal injury.
