OPERATION

STARTING AND STOPPING SANDER

Failure to read and understand the instructions, warnings and safety guidelines provided in this manual may lead to serious injury and / or damage to machine or the work piece.

Be sure the sanding disc is securely installed onto the disc plate.

Make sure the table tilt locking levers are secured and that the table is locked in place at the desired angle or tilt.

Make sure the machine is installed on a flat, sturdy and stable surface able to support the weight of the machine and the work piece to be sanded.

NOTE: The DELTA® 12” Disc Sander uses a Safety Key (A), shown in Figure 5. The Safety Key must be in place in order to operate the machine. Before attempting to turn on the sander, ensure the Safety Key is installed.

• The ON/OFF switch (B) is located on the top of the motor. To turn the sander“ON”, move the switch toward rear of sander.

• To turn the sander“OFF”, move switch to the front position as shown.

NOTE: The sanding disc on this sander rotates counterclockwise. In order to prevent injury and produce good results, always sand on the left side of the table only. Never work on the right side of the table where the disc is rotating up as it is difficult to control the work piece.

REMOVING THE SAFETY KEY TO LOCK SANDER

When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position. This can be done by grasping the Safety Key (A), shown in Figure 5, and pulling it out of the switch. With the Safety Key removed the switch

will not operate. Should the Safety Key be removed while the machine is running, the switch can be turned “OFF” once, but cannot be restarted without inserting the Safety Key.

USING THE MANUAL DISC BRAKE

Apply the brake when the switch is in the “off” position only. Applying the brake while switch is in the “on” position may

damage the machine.

This 12" Disc Sander is equipped with a manual disc brake that brings the sanding disc to a safe stop once the power switch has been turned to the “OFF” position. The manual disc brake should only be used once the sander has been turned off. To apply the manual disc brake, press down on brake lever (A) as shown in Figure 6.
