SPECIFIC PRODUCT WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS  
1.  
2.  
MAINTAIN A SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT. Keep the work area well lit.  
Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area  
free of obstructions, sawdust, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use the  
Belt/Disc Sander in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not  
use the Belt/Disc Sander in a damp or wet location.  
GROUND ThIS PRODUCT. The electrical Power Cord (55) for this product is  
equipped with a grounded, 3-Prong Plug. Never remove the grounding prong or  
modify the Plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with this product. To com-  
ply with the National Electric Code, and to provide additional protection from the  
risk of electrical shock, this product should only be connected to a 110 Volt,  
3-hole electrical outlet that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter  
(GFCI).  
3.  
DO NOT ABUSE ThE POWER CORD. Do not use the Power Cord (55) to pull  
its 3-Prong Plug from an electrical power outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from  
heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Route the Power Cord safely. Do not  
route the Power Cord where it can be walked on or tripped over. Replace a dam-  
aged Power Cord immediately.  
4.  
5.  
IF AN EXTENSION CORD (not included) IS USED, MAKE SURE TO USE  
ONLY UL APPROVED CORDS hAVING ThE CORRECT GAUGE AND  
LENGTh. This product requires a 14 gauge extension cord.  
REDUCE ThE RISK OF ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure the Power Switch  
(53) is in the “OFF” position before plugging the Power Cord (55) into a grounded,  
3-hole, 110 Volt, electrical outlet. (See Figure B, and Assy. Diagram.)  
6.  
7.  
PRIOR TO STARTING ThE BELT/DISC SANDER, MAKE SURE ALL ADJUST-  
ING KEYS AND WRENChES ARE REMOVED FROM ThE TOOL.  
BEFORE SANDING,TURN ON ThE BELT/DISC SANDER AND ChECK FOR  
EXCESSIVELY LOOSE SANDING BELT/DISC (2, 15) OR MAChINE VIBRA-  
TION. If this is found, turn off the tool and correct the problem before using.  
8.  
ALWAYS KEEP hANDS AND FINGERS AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM  
ThE MOVING PARTS OF ThE BELT/DISC SANDER.

9.  
ALLOW ThE SANDING BELT/DISC (2, 15) TO TURN UP TO FULL SPEED  
BEFORE FEEDING A WORKPIECE INTO ThE SANDING BELT/DISC. When  
turning off the Belt/Disc Sander, allow the Sanding Belt/Disc to slow down and  
stop on its own. Do not press against the Sanding Belt/Disc to stop it.  
10.  
11.  
FEED ThE WORKPIECE INTO ThE SANDING BELT/DISC (2, 15) GRADU-  
ALLY. Do not force the machine to remove material faster than it was designed  
to cut.  
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO ThE MAChINE,  
ALWAYS ALLOW APPROXIMATELY 1/16” CLEARANCE BETWEEN ThE  
SANDING BELT (2) AND ThE BACK STOP (39).  
12.  
13.  
ALWAYS ALLOW APPROXIMATELY 1/16” CLEARANCE BETWEEN ThE  
SANDING DISC (15) AND ThE TABLE (1).  
WhEN SANDING A LARGE WORKPIECE, MAKE SURE ITS ENTIRE LENGTh  
IS PROPERLY SUPPORTED. If necessary, use a roller stand (not included) with  
a larger workpiece.  
14.  
15.  
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE MATERIAL STUCK IN ThE MOVING PARTS  
OF ThE BELT/DISC SANDER WhILE IT IS PLUGGED IN AND RUNNING.  
NEVER STAND ON ThE BELT/DISC SANDER. Serious injury could result if the  
Belt/Disc Sander is tipped or if the turning Sanding Belt/Disc (2, 15) are acciden-  
tally contacted.  
16.  
17.  
ALWAYS TURN ThE POWER SWITCh (53) TO ITS “OFF” POSITION AND UN-  
PLUG ThE BELT/DISC SANDER FROM ITS ELECTRICAL SUPPLY SOURCE  
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY INSPECTION, ADJUSTMENTS, MAINTE-  
NANCE, OR CLEANING PROCEDURES.  
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and  
other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California)  
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of  
these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, and arsenic and chromium  
from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies depending  
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemi-  
cals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment,  
such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic  
particles.

5.  
Secure the Frame (64) to the Stand (56), using two Bolts (58), two Washers (60),  
and two Nuts (63). (See Figure C.)  
Repeat Steps #1, #2, and #3 to connect the other end of the Frame to the re-  
maining Stand. (See Figure C.)

2.  
Remove the 4 screws from the cover on the Pulley Cover (22) and set aside.  
Line up the three bolt holes on the Pulley Cover  
(22) with the threaded holes in the Bracket  
(26). Place a Washer (21) over each of 3  
Screws (20). Insert a Screw (20) into each  
hole and tighten. (See Figure E.)  
FIGURE E  
Screw (20)

4.  
This item is packed with tape on the shafts  
to keep the keys in place. Remove the  
tape from the upper shaft, being careful  
to not lose the key.  
Loosen the Set Screw (14) on the Large  
Pulley (19). Put the Large Pulley on the upper  
shaft, with the smaller step on the pulley inside and  
with the key lined up with the slot on the Pulley. Be sure  
the key stays in the correct position, all the way through the  
pulley.  
5.  
Repeat steps 3 and 4 putting the Small Pulley (52) on the lower shaft.  
( S e e  
Figure F.)  
6.  
Carefully align both pulleys and tighten. Use  
a flat head screwdriver through the slot in the  
Pulley Cover (22) to tighten the Set Screw  
(14) on the Large Pulley (19). (See Figure  
G.) Use a hex key (not included) to tighten  
the Set Screw (14) on the Small Pulley (52).

Loosen the 4 Screws (48) that hold the Motor  
(30)justenoughtolettheMotormove. Movethe  
Motor towards the Large Pulley enough  
hole for Support Bar (18)  
to let the Belt (17) slip on over both  
Pulleys. Move the Motor away from the  
Large Pulley until the Belt is tight enough so  
that, if pushed, it doesn’t move more than 1/2”.  
Hold the Motor in place while you retighten the  
4 Screws (48).

Replace cover of the Pulley Cover (22) and tighten the 4 screws. Verify that the  
pulley cover does not contact the Sanding Disc (15). If it does, you need to adjust  
the Sanding Disc Plate (16).  
NOTE: When positioning the Table (1), make sure there is more than 1/16” clearance but  
less than1/8” clearance between the Table and the Sanding Disc (15).

(18). (See Figure G.) Put theTable Support Bracket (9) over the end of the Support  
Bar, with the tapered side of the Bracket facing the Sanding Disc (15) and also the  
flat side of the Bar lined up with the Set Screw. Tighten the Set Screw (14) on the  
Table Support Bracket. Set the Table Support Bracket as shown in Figure J, page  
12. Tighten the two Set Screws (14) on the side of the Base to secure the bar.

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING  
1.  
2.  
CAUTION: Always turn the Power Switch (53) to its “OFF” position and un-  
plug the Power Cord (55) from its 110 volt electrical outlet before perform-  
ing any inspection, adjustments, maintenance, or cleaning.  
BEFORE EACh USE, inspect the general condition of the Belt/Disc Sander.  
Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or  
broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, excessively loose Sanding Belt (2) and  
Sanding Disc (15), and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If  
abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further  
use. Do not use damaged equipment.  
3.  
DAILY: Sanding Belts (2) and Sanding Discs (15) must be sharp and clean to  
perform properly. Depending on materials sanded and frequency of tool use,  
Sanding Belts and Sanding Discs become clogged with wood particles and dull.  
Dull Sanding Belts and Sanding Discs rub the workpiece rather than cut, which  
results in increased friction, higher temperatures, and a burned workpiece. As  
often as possible, check the condition of the Sanding Belt and Sanding Disc and,  
if necessary, replace a worn Sanding Belt and Sanding Disc with a new, 6” wide  
by 48” Sanding Belt and 9” diameter Sanding Disc.  
4.  
DAILY: With a soft brush, cloth, or vacuum, remove all sawdust and debris from  
the Belt/Disc Sander. Then, use a premium quality, lightweight machine oil to  
lubricate all moving parts.
