Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products, 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 chemicals: 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.

People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

The electrical Power Cord/Plug 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 comply with the National Electric Code, and to provide additional protection from the risk of electrical shock, this product should only be connected to a 120 Volt, 3-hole electrical outlet that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

If an extension cord is used, make sure to use only UL approved cords having the correct gauge and length.

Make sure the distance between the Work Table and Sanding Disc does not exceed 1/16”.

Make sure the Safety Switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging the Power Cord/Plug into a grounded, 3-hole, 120 Volt, electrical outlet.

Prior to starting the Disc Sander, make sure all adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from the tool.

Always feed the workpiece into and against the direction of the rotating sanding disc.

Never stand or have an observer stand in line with the spinning sanding disc.

Use the proper size and type of sanding disc (10”, Pressure Sensitive Adhesive).

Hold the workpiece firmly so that it will not be pulled from your hands during the sanding process.

Feed the material gradually. Do not force the machine to remove material faster than it was designed to sand.

Do not attempt to sand workpieces too small to safely hold by hand. Attempting to hold onto a very small workpiece will bring fingers and hands in dangerous proximity to the spinning sanding disc.

When sanding a large workpiece, make sure it is properly supported at the Work Table height.

Never leave the Disc Sander unattended when it is running. Turn off the machine, and wait until it has completely stopped before leaving.

Always unplug the Disc Sander from its electrical supply source before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

Prior to performing this procedure, make sure the Safety Switch of the Disc Sander is in its “OFF” position and the Power Cord/Plug is unplugged from its electrical outlet.

Assembly of the Disc Sander requires the attachment of one Knob Bolt on the front end and back end of the Work Table.

Insert one Knob Bolt onto each of the two Table Lock Assemblies. Insert one Spring into each of the two Knob Bolts. Then, screw one Spring Adjusting Screw into each of the two Knob Bolts to secure the Knob Bolts in place.

Prior to performing this procedure, make sure the Safety Switch of the Disc Sander is in its “OFF” position and the Power Cord/Plug is unplugged from its electrical outlet.

The Work Table may be angled downward from 0 to 45 degrees. To do so, slightly loosen the two Knob Bolts. Move the Work Table downward until the Angle Scale indicates the desired angle. Then, firmly retighten the two Knob Bolts.

Prior to performing this procedure, make sure the Safety Switch of the Disc Sander is in its “OFF” position and the Power Cord/Plug is unplugged from its electrical outlet.

The Miter Gauge may be angled from 0 to 60 degrees, right or left. To do so, slightly loosen the Knob. Move the Miter Gauge horizontally to the right or left until the Pointer indicates the desired angle. Then, firmly retighten the Knob Bolt.

Prior to performing this procedure, make sure the Safety Switch of the Disc Sander is in its “OFF” position and the Power Cord/Plug is unplugged from its electrical outlet.

The Disc Sander requires the use of a 10”, Pressure Sensitive Adhesive, Sanding Disc.

To attach the Sanding Disc to the Disc of the Disc Sander, peel off the protective backing of the Sanding Disc and firmly and evenly stick the Sanding Disc onto the Disc.

Prior to beginning to use, make sure the Safety Switch is in its “OFF” position and the Power Cord/Plug is unplugged from its electrical outlet.

Make all necessary adjustments to the Disc Sander as previously discussed. Make sure the distance between the Work Table and Sanding Disc does not exceed 1/16”.

Plug the Power Cord/Plug into the nearest 120 volt, grounded, 3-prong, electrical outlet.

Turn the Safety Switch to its “ON” position, and allow sufficient time for the Sanding Disc to spin at full speed for 2 to 3 minutes. Check for proper sanding disc alignment.

With both hands, slowly and carefully place the workpiece on the Work Table and against the flat edge of the Miter Gauge, taking care not to allow the workpiece to immediately touch the spinning Sanding Disc.

With both hands, firmly hold the workpiece down on the Work Table and against the Miter Gauge. While holding the workpiece with one hand, use the other hand to grasp the Miter Gauge and slowly push the workpiece into the spinning Sanding Disc. Always keep hands and fingers away from the Sanding Disc.

Make sure to feed the workpiece gradually into the spinning Sanding Disc. Do not force the machine to remove material faster than it was designed to sand. If necessary, use the Miter Gauge to back the workpiece away from the spinning Sanding Disc and repeat the feeding process until the desired amount of material has been sanded off the workpiece.

Once the sanding job is completed, back the workpiece slightly away from the spinning Sanding Disc. Keep a firm grip on the workpiece with one hand, and with the other hand turn the Safety Switch to its “OFF” position. Wait until the Sanding Disc has completely stopped spinning. Then, remove the workpiece from the machine and unplug the Power Cord/Plug from its electrical outlet.

Always turn the Safety Switch to its “OFF” position, unplug the Power Cord/Plug from its electrical outlet, and wait until the Sanding Disc has completely stopped spinning before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning.

Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Disc Sander. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, 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.

Sanding Discs must be sharp and clean to perform properly. Depending on materials sanded and frequency of machine use, Sanding Discs become clogged with wood, metal particles, and become dull. Dull 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 Disc and, if necessary, replace a worn Sanding Disc with a new, 10″ Pressure Sensitive Adhesive disc.

With a soft brush, cloth, or vacuum, remove all debris from the Disc Sander. Then, use a premium quality, lightweight machine oil to lubricate all moving parts.
