CONNECT TO A DUST COLLECTOR

Before sanding connect the machine to a dust collection system.

Always turn on the dust collector before starting the sander and always stop the sander before turning off the dust collector.

There is a 2” diameter dust outlet on the rear of the machine allowing for the connection to a dust collector (not included).

A 2” TO 4” DUST HOSE ADAPTOR is also included to facilitate (if needed) connection to a standard 4” dust collection hose.

Be sure to use appropriate size hose and fittings (not included). and check that all connections are sealed tightly to mini- mize airborne dust.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THIS MACHINE

This machine has been designed for sanding or polishing round or curved surfaces on wood, plastic, or metal materials. It is ideal for use in smaller woodworking projects in a hobbyist/home shop environment. This machine is not designed with a continuous duty rating or for industrial applications.

CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE

Plug the machine into a proper receptacle – before connecting to the power source make sure that the switch is in the “off” position and that the power supply is of the same type as that stamped on the I.D. nameplate of the motor. Running on low voltage will damage the motor.

To avoid risk of shock or fire do not operate the unit with a damaged power cord or plug. Replace damaged cord or plug immediately.

ON/OFF SWITCH & SAFETY PIN

The switch assembly is equipped with a lock-out safety pin. When the pin is installed through the green “on” button, the machine cannot be started.

To start the machine, lift the red stop switch panel and remove the lock-out pin. Lower the stop panel and push the green “ON” button. Wait for the spindle to reach full speed before sanding.

To stop the machine, push on the RED “STOP” panel and wait for the spindle to come to a complete stop.

When you have finished using the machine be sure to re-install the lock-out pin and unplug the machine from the power source.
