grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. never remove the grounding
prong or modify the plug in any way. do not use any adapter plugs. check with
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. if the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. if it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. do not change the plug in
any way. Double insulation
eliminates the need for the three wire grounded
power cord and grounded power supply system.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
7.
8.
do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
do not abuse the power cord. never use the power cord to carry the tools
or pull the plug from an outlet. keep the power cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. replace damaged power cords immediately.
Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
9.
when operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
“w-A” or “w”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
persOnAl sAfety
10.
stay alert. watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating
a power tool. do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
11.
12.
13.
dress properly. do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. contain long hair.
keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. be sure the power switch is off before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power
tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.

17.
18.
19.
use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body
is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
do not force the tool. use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not force
the tool and do not use the tool for a purpose for which it is not intended.
do not use the power tool if the power switch does not turn it on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be
replaced.
disconnect the power cord plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. Always unplug the tool
from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or
cleaning procedures.
20.
21.
store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
maintain tools with care. keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier
to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until
repaired.
22.
23.
check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. if damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
24.
25.
tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

wArning! people with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before
using this product. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker
could cause interference to or failure of the pacemaker.
In addition, people with pacemakers should adhere to the following:
• Avoid operating power tools alone.
• If powered via a power cord be certain that the tool is properly grounded.A ground
fault interrupt (GFCI) system is also a good precaution. This inexpensive device
is a good safety measure because it prevents a sustained electrical shock.
• Properly maintain and inspect all tools before use to avoid electrical shock.
4.
5.
never leave the sander unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet.
Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
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.
• 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.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

take caution as some woods contain preservatives such as copper chromium
arsenate (ccA) which can be toxic.When cutting these materials extra care should
be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
wArning! The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must
be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which
cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

a qualified electrician.
grOunded tOOls:tOOls witH tHree prOng plugs
1.
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If
the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric
shock. (see figure A.)
2.
3.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the
cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the
only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to
an electrically “live” terminal. (see figure A.)
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like
those in the following illustration. (see figure A.)

2.
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special
double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with
the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electrical Code. (see figure b.)
Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the
preceding illustration. (see figure b.)
extensiOn cOrds
1.
2.
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can
use either a two or three wire extension cord.
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge
extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a seri-
ous drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
(see figure c, next page.)
3.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For
example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.
(see figure c.)
4.
5.
When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure
each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (see figure c.)
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate am-
peres and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
(see figure c.)
6.
7.
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix
“W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electri-
cian before using it.
8.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet
areas.

5.
Occasionally check the sanding sleeves for tears, wear, or fraying. Replace if
necessary. Stop using if sanding sleeve is damaged.
When you are finished, turn off the Switch (80). Remove the yellow Safety Lock and
store it out of the reach of children.
inspectiOn, mAintenAnce, And cleAning
befOre eAcH use, inspect the general condition of the Spindle 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.

2.
Over time, if the performance of the tool diminishes, or it stops working completely,
it may be necessary to replace the Carbon Brushes (34) by removing the Brush
Holder (33). This procedure should be completed by a qualified technician. If the
Carbon Brushes are not worn down, try cleaning the Carbon Brush tips with an ink
eraser.
If the Sanding Sleeve stops rotating when you touch it or press the stock material
against it, turn off the machine at once. Unplug the machine and check to make
sure that the Hex Nut (1) is threaded on tight to the Spindle (55).
