CAUTION: To avoid trapping the workpiece
or fingers between the worktable and sanding
belt, the worktable edge should be positioned
a maximum of 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) from sanding
belt.
ADJUSTING BELT TABLE ANGLE
1. The belt table (2) can be tilted from 0° to 45°
by loosening the table lock knob (4) at the left
sides of belt table.
2. Tilt the belt table to the desired angle.
3. Tighten table lock knob.
TO PROPERLY TRACK THE SANDING BELT
1. Plug in the sander.
2. Turn power switch ON, then immediately
OFF, noting whether the belt (1) tends to slide
off its track, and to which side (front or back)
of the sander.
3. If the sanding belt does not slide to either
side, it is tracking properly.
4. Viewed from the switch end, if the sanding
belt runs toward the disc (2), slightly turn the
tracking knob (3) clockwise (down).
5. Viewed from the switch end, if the sanding
belt runs away from the disc, slightly turn the
tracking knob counterclockwise (up).
6. Turn power switch ON, then immediately
OFF, again taking note of any belt movement.
7. Readjust tracking knob another 1/4 turn, as
necessary.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: The belt/disc sander is designed
to perform sanding operations on surface, and
edge grain. The sander will also perform free-
hand forming and contouring operations. The
following suggestions are recommended for
best results and safest use.
1. Always apply light pressure allowing the
abrasive to remove the material slowly.
E N G L I S H •
2. The workpiece should be moved, continu-
ously, to avoid burning.
3. Avoid sanding small pieces of wood which
will position the fingers close to the abrasive
belt or disc.
ON/OFF SWITCH
WARNING: To avoid injury, always keep the
plug disconnected from the power source and
the switch turned OFF until the sander is com-
pletely assembled and adjusted properly. The
ON/OFF power switch is located on the front
of the sander, and incorporates a removable
safety switch (1).
1. To turn the machine "ON", move the switch
up to the "ON" position.
2. To turn the machine "OFF", move the switch
down to the "OFF" position. In situations
where the sander may be left unattended,
the operator has the option of removing the
"black" safety portion of the ON/OFF switch to
render the sander inoperable. When the op-
erator is ready to use the machine again, the
"black" safety portion of the switch may be re-
installed simply by inserting it into the opening
in the switch and pushing it in until it "seats."
MITER GAUGE
A miter gauge (1) is supplied with your sander
and is used with both sanding tables. The mi-
ter gauge body can be adjusted from 0° to 60°
right or left for angle or miter sanding.
1. Install the miter bar (2) into the table slot
(3) as shown.
2. Loosen lock knob (4) and then rotate miter
gauge body to the desired angle.
3. Tighten lock knob.
