all of these warnings may cause serious injury.  
3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.  
4. This sander is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If  
you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a sander, do not use until proper training  
and knowledge have been obtained.  
5. Do not use this sander for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, WMH Tool Group  
disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from  
that use.  
6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this sander. Everyday eyeglasses only  
have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.  
7. Before operating this sander, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past  
the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips  
are recommended. Do not wear gloves.  
8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.  
9. 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 paint.  
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.  
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.  
Your risk of exposure 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 face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic  
particles.  
10. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.  
11. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.  
12. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.  
13. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.  
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting  
wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.  
15. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance  
purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.  
16. If there is a tendency for the machine to tip over or move during operation, such as when sanding  
long or heavy boards, the machine must be securely fastened to a supporting surface.  
17. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged  
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended  
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting  
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should  
be properly repaired or replaced.  
18. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.  
19. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.  
20. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.

21. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.  
22. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are  
careless acts that can result in serious injury.  
23. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the abrasives or other  
moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.  
24. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for  
which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and safer.  
25. Make sure the abrasive belt is running in the proper direction. When disc sanding, place the  
workpiece against the downward rotating part of the abrasive disc.  
26. This machine can be used for sanding wood or metal products. However, combining wood dust and  
metal filings can create a fire hazard. Make sure your dust collector is free of wood dust deposits  
before processing metal products.  
27. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.  
28. Maintain tools with care. Follow instructions for lubricating the machine and changing accessories.  
29. Abrasive discs must be stored in a controlled environment. Relative humidity should be 35% to 50%  
and the temperature should be between 60° and 80° Fahrenheit. Failure to do this could cause  
premature disc failure.  
30. Examine the face of the abrasive disc or belt carefully. Excessive sanding that wears down to the  
backing material can tear the disc/belt. Never use an abrasive which shows backing, nicks or cuts on  
the surface or edge, or damage due to creasing or poor handling.  
31. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove chips or debris — do  
not use your hands.  
32. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it  
comes to a complete stop.  
33. Do not use the sander in wet or damp locations.  
34. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.

Assembly  
Tools needed for assembly:  
10mm open-end wrench  
Cross-point (Phillips) screwdriver  
Combination square, or similar angle  
measuring device.  
Sander must be unplugged  
from power source during assembly.  
Remove the protective coating from the surfaces  
of the sander and from any loose parts. This  
coating may be removed with a soft cloth  
moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone,  
gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose).  
After cleaning, cover the table surfaces with a  
good quality paste wax.  
Leave enough space around the sander for long  
workpieces and for general maintenance.  
If needed, the sander can be bolted to a table or  
workbench using the holes in the base. If the  
sander has a tendency to walk or slide during  
operation, it must be bolted to a supporting  
surface.  
Installing Belt Table  
1. Unscrew the stud. See Figure 1.  
2. Position the bracket of the belt table over the  
holes in the casting as shown, and re-install  
the stud into its hole.  
3. Place a flat washer onto a handle, and insert  
the handle through the table bracket and  
into the hole. Screw the handle all the way  
into the hole.  
NOTE: The handle is spring loaded; screw  
the handle in by rotating clockwise, then pull  
outward on the handle. Rotate the handle  
back to position, then release it, making sure  
it seats itself upon the pin. Continue the  
process until the handle is tightened in the  
hole.  
Figure 1  
Installing Dust Chute  
The sander has two 1-1/2” diameter dust chutes.  
The dust chute for the belt is located on the belt  
cover. The dust chute for the disc should be  
installed as shown in Figure 2, using the six (6)  
pan head machine screws that are provided.  
The dust chutes can be connected to a vacuum  
system to collect dust particles.

Grounding Instructions  
This machine must be  
grounded while in use to protect the operator  
from electric shock.  
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,  
grounding provides a path of least resistance for  
electric current to reduce the risk of electric  
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord  
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a  
grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into a  
matching receptacle that is properly installed  
and grounded in accordance with all local codes  
and ordinances.  
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit  
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a  
qualified electrician.  
Improper connection of the equipment-  
grounding conductor can result in a risk of  
electric shock. The conductor, with insulation  
having an outer surface that is green with or  
without yellow stripes, is the equipment-  
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of  
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not  
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a  
live terminal.  
Check with a qualified electrician or service  
personnel if the grounding instructions are not  
completely understood, or if in doubt as to  
whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only  
three wire extension cords that have three-prong  
grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that  
accept the tool’s plug.  
115 Volt Operation  
As received from the factory, your sander is  
ready to run at 115 volt operation. This sander is  
intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet  
and a plug that looks like the one illustrated in  
Figure 7.  
A temporary adapter, like the adapter in Figure  
8, may be used to connect this plug to a two-  
pole receptacle, as shown in Figure 8, if a  
properly grounded outlet is not available. The  
temporary adapter should only be used until a  
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a  
qualified electrician. This adapter is not  
applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid  
ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter,  
must be connected to a permanent ground such  
as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in  
Figure 8.

Tilting the Belt Table  
The belt table tilts from zero (horizontal) down to  
45°.  
*based on limiting the line voltage drop to 5V at 150% of the  
rated amperes.  
NR: Not Recommended.  
1. Loosen the handle and adjust the table into  
desired position.  
Figure 9  
2. Check the angle with  
a
machinist’s  
protractor or similar measuring device that  
has the required angle. Figure 10 shows a  
square being used to confirm the zero, or  
horizontal, position. Place the square flat on  
the table and against the belt. Push against  
the belt until the square is against the  
platen.  
3. Make any adjustments to the table angle as  
necessary until it is square with the belt.  
4. Tighten the handle securely.  
To avoid trapping the  
workpiece or fingers between the table and  
abrasive belt, the table edge should be  
positioned a maximum of 1/16” from the  
abrasive belt.  
Figure 10  
Tilting the Disc Table  
The disc table tilts from zero (horizontal) down to  
45°.  
1. Loosen both handles and adjust the table  
until the indicator lines up with the desired  
angle on the scale. It is a good idea to  
confirm this angle using your angle  
measuring device placed flat upon the table  
and against the abrasive disc.  
2. Figure 11 shows a square being used to  
confirm the zero, or horizontal position of the  
disc table.  
3. Make any necessary adjustments to the  
table angle. If the table is square with the  
disc but the angle indicator needs slight  
adjustment, loosen the screw on the  
indicator and shift the indicator as needed.  
Re-tighten the screw.

4. Tighten both handles securely.  
To avoid trapping the  
workpiece or fingers between the table and  
abrasive disc, the table edge should be  
positioned a maximum of 1/16” from the  
abrasive disc.  
Use of the Miter Gauge  
The miter gauge is used to sand accurate  
angles on workpieces. When using the miter  
gauge on the horizontal table position, you can  
sand a single angle. By tilting the disc table and  
using the miter gauge in combination with the  
table tilted, it is possible to sand compound  
angles as well.  
The miter gauge rotates to 30° for bevel  
sanding. Loosen the knob and rotate the gauge  
body until the pointer lines up with the desired  
angle on the scale.  
Use a square to confirm that the miter gauge is  
set at 90° (perpendicular to the disc). See Figure  
12. If slight adjustment is needed:  
Figure 12  
1. Loosen the knob.  
2. Adjust the miter gauge body until it is flush  
with the square, and the square is flush with  
the disc.  
3. Tighten the knob.  
4. Loosen the screw on the pointer and adjust  
the pointer until it aligns with 90° on the  
scale.  
5. Tighten the screw on the pointer.  
Belt Platen  
The belt platen (Figure 13) is used to properly  
support the workpiece while sanding. The platen  
is constructed of heavy steel to provide  
adequate support.  
The platen should be adjusted so it is almost  
touching the back of the abrasive belt. Loosen  
the socket head cap screw and adjust the platen  
to the desired position. Tighten the screw to  
secure the platen.  
The platen can be removed for operations such  
as stripping, contour sanding, polishing or other  
special operations. To remove the platen,  
remove the socket head cap screw and washer.  
Figure 13  
Be sure to re-install the platen to perform  
operations where support of the belt is required.

Abrasive Belt Replacement  
1. Unplug the Sander from the power source.  
2. Unscrew and remove the two knobs on the  
belt cover.  
3. Remove the belt cover.  
4. Rotate the tension handle (Figure 6) to  
loosen the belt, and remove the old belt from  
around the wheels.  
5. Install the new belt around the wheels.  
IMPORTANT: Some sanding belts have a  
directional arrow printed on the inside of the belt.  
In these cases, the belt must be installed so the  
directional arrow is in the same direction that the  
machine is running. Refer to the rotation arrow  
on top of the belt cover.  
6. Install the belt cover and the two knobs.  
7. Start the sander and check the belt tracking  
before sanding operations (See “Tracking  
the Abrasive Belt”).  
Tracking the Abrasive Belt  
“Tracking” refers to the manner in which the  
abrasive belt is positioned on the wheels during  
operation. The belt should remain in vertical  
position without shifting to one side or the other  
of the wheel. If any shifting occurs, the belt  
needs to be tracked properly, as follows:  
1. Disconnect sander from power source.  
2. Remove the side cover, and make sure the  
belt is placed evenly over the center of the  
wheels. Loosen the tension and re-position  
the belt if necessary. Re-install the side  
cover.  
3. Move the belt by rotating the disc with your  
hand (do not turn on the power yet).  
Observe the movement of the belt on the top  
wheel.  
Figure 14  
4. If the belt slips to one side or the other,  
loosen the hex nut (Figure 14) with a 10mm  
open-end wrench.  
5. Rotate the tracking screw (Figure 14) with a  
5mm hex wrench. If the belt is sliding toward  
the right, rotate the screw clockwise. If the  
belt is sliding toward the left, rotate the  
screw counterclockwise.  
6. Continue this procedure in small increments  
until the belt is tracking properly when  
moved by hand.  
7. Re-connect the sander to power, and cycle  
the on/off switch quickly to double check the  
tracking.

8. Make further adjustments as needed.  
9. Tighten the hex nut to secure the setting.  
Abrasive Disc Replacement  
1. Unplug the sander from the power source.  
2. Remove the dust cover and the disc table.  
To remove the disc table, remove the  
handles then tilt the disc table upward while  
pulling it away from the disc.  
3. Peel off the old abrasive disc.  
4. Thoroughly clean the aluminum disc surface  
using naptha or a similar non-flammable  
solvent that will dry film-free.  
5. Pull the protective backing half-way off the  
new abrasive disc.  
6. Carefully position the new abrasive disc so it  
is centered accurately on the aluminum disc.  
7. When accurately centered, remove the rest  
of the protective backing and press the  
abrasive disc firmly against the aluminum  
disc so complete adhesive contact is made.  
8. Re-install dust cover and table.  
9. Reconnect sander to power source.  
Aluminum Disc Removal  
The aluminum disc can be easily removed if  
needed; for example, to facilitate cleaning the  
aluminum disc when replacing abrasive discs.  
1. Unplug sander from the power source.  
2. Remove the disc table and the dust chute.  
3. Rotate the disc until the set screw is  
accessible through the opening behind the  
disc guard. See Figure 15. You may need to  
loosen the socket head cap screws (see  
Figure 4) on the guard and shift it forward in  
order to clear the set screw.  
4. Loosen the set screw with a 3mm hex  
wrench, and pull the aluminum disc off the  
motor shaft.  
Figure 15  
5. When re-mounting the aluminum disc, make  
sure the key is properly seated in the  
keyway on the motor shaft. Tighten the set  
screw firmly when the disc has been  
mounted.

Operation  
This sander is intended for dry sanding of  
metals. Do not use lubricants.  
Do not sand or polish  
magnesium; it may create a fire hazard. Also,  
do not sand very small or very thin  
workpieces that cannot be safely controlled.  
Starting and Stopping the Sander  
The on/off switch is located on the side of the  
motor housing. Move the switch upward to the  
ON position to start the sander. Move the switch  
downward to the OFF position to stop the  
sander.  
When the sander is not being used, the switch  
can be locked in OFF position to prevent  
unauthorized use. Pull out the locking tab and  
store in a safe place. See Figure 16. The switch  
will not operate with the locking tab removed.  
To use the sander, re-insert the locking tab.  
Belt and Disc Movement  
When the machine is turned on, the abrasive  
belt should be moving downward and the disc  
rotating clockwise. The motor is wired at the  
factory for correct rotation.  
Figure 16  
The workpiece should not contact the disc or  
belt during start-up. Before sanding, always  
allow the motor to come up to operating speed,  
then observe the disc for wobble, runout, or any  
unbalanced condition. If the disc is not operating  
accurately and smoothly, stop the motor and  
make repairs before atempting any sanding  
operations.  
Always sand on the side of the abrasive disc  
that rotates downward. Sanding on the upward  
rotation side can cause the workpiece to catch  
and fly out of your hands.  
The table must be a maximum of 1/16” away  
from the abrasive disc or belt.  
Typical Operations  
When sanding a compound angle you should  
check the accuracy of your setup by sanding a  
piece of scrap material before doing any finish  
sanding on the actual workpiece.  
Figure 17 demonstrates a basic method of  
operation using the miter gauge and disc table:  
1. Set the angle you wish to sand using the  
scale on the miter gauge.  
Figure 17  
16  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
2. Tighten the miter gauge securely so the  
miter reference angle will not shift while you  
are sanding.  
3. Place the workpiece against the miter  
reference surface and slide it along the miter  
reference surface and into the sanding disc.  
The following are just some of the many  
operations that can be performed with your  
Wilton Sander.  
Sharpening a wood chisel on the sanding  
belt using a block of wood. Use the block of  
wood to support the chisel and provide  
clearance for the chisel handle. See Figure  
18. Sand a bevel in the block of wood in  
order to position the block as close as  
possible to the sanding belt and clamp the  
block to the table.
