1. AVOID kickback by sanding in accordance with the
directional arrows.
2. KEEP YOUR HANDS CLEAR of abrasive belt, disc and
all moving parts.
3. FOR optimum performance, do not stall motor or reduce
speed. Do not force the work into the abrasive.
4. ALWAYS support workpiece with table or work stop when
sanding with belt and with table when sanding with disc.
5. NEVER push a sharp corner of the workpiece rapidly
against the belt or disc. Abrasive backing may tear.
6. REPLACE abrasives when they become loaded (glazed)
or frayed.
7. WHENEVER adjusting or replacing any parts on the tool,
turn switch "OFF" and remove the plug from power
source.
8. RECHECK table handle and bolts. They must be
tightened securely.
9. MAKE SURE all guards are properly attached. All guards
should be securely fastened.
10. MAKE SURE all moving parts are free and clear of any

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the
tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate electrical
circuit for your tools. Your sander is wired at the factory for
120V operation. Connect to a 120V, 15 Amp circuit and use a
15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or
fire, if power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged
into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the
receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified
electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor
with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you
do not completely understand the grounding instructions,
or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
