SAFETY RULES WARNING For your own safety, read and understand all warnings and operating instructions before using any tool or equipment. WARNING Some dust created by operation of power tool contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment.
ASSEMBLY 2 UNPACKAGING Refer to Figure 1. Check for shipping damage. If damage has occurred, a claim must be filled with carrier. Check to ensure all parts are present. Immediately report missing parts to dealer. The sander comes assembled as one unit. Additional parts should be located and accounted for before assembling.
WARNING Do not operate machine until completely assembled. Do not operate machine until you have completely read and understood this manual. ASSEMBLY Refer to Figures 2 - 5. CAUTION: Do not attempt assembly if parts are missing. Use this manual to order replacement parts. TO ATTACH ¾” – 3” ABRASIVE SLEEVES Example: 2” • Place the 2” table insert over spindle and onto the table. The top side of the insert has directional arrows, as shown.
ASSEMBLY 4 POWER SOURCE WARNING WARNING Do not connect to the power source until the machine is completely assembled. The machine is wired for 120 volts, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position. Running the unit on voltages which are not within range may cause overheating and motor burn-out. Heavy loads require that voltage at motor terminals be no less than the voltage specified on nameplate.
Use proper extension cords. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. Use only 3-wire extension cords have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug. When using an extension cord, make sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord. Extension Cord Length Wire Size . . . . . .
