BASIC FUNCTIONS This 6" x 108" vertical oscillating edge sander has been designed for sanding or polishing (removing kerf or pencil marks) on small workpieces, such as chair legs or cabinet doors. This sander is not intended (and should not be used) to sand any material other than wood. The front table can be inclined left or right for sanding irregular workpieces and the auxiliary/end table can be used for sanding round or curved surfaces.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP This machine should be installed and operated only on a solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support the weight of the sander (453 lbs - 206 kgs) and the operator. Using the dimensions shown as a guideline, plan for placement within your shop that will allow the operator to work unencumbered and unobstructed by foot traffic (either passing shop visitors or other shop workers) or other tools or machinery.

This sander is equipped with one 4" diameter dust outlet , on the right side of the machine, allowing for connection to a dust collector (not included).
OVERLOAD PROTECTION/CIRCUIT BREAKER The magnetic safety switch on this sander is equipped with an overload protection feature. To prevent an electrical overload from damaging the motor, in the event of a spike in line voltage or amperage draw, the internal overload protector will automatically be tripped, thereby cutting off power to the motor.
AUXILIARY TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT Adjusting the height of the auxiliary table allows an even wearing of the sanding belt surface by allowing you to use different sections of the belt depending on the height of the workpiece. 1.
