Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A rating of 120 volts AC/DC means that your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss of power and can result in
Use of Extension Cords
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size extension cords with the tool – that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord and heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see chart below.

To start your belt sander, depress the on/off switch as shown in Figure 2. To stop your belt sander release the on/off switch. For continuous operation, depress the on/off switch then depress the
Changing The Sanding Belt
BEFORE INSTALLING A BELT, UNPLUG THE BELT SANDER.
Pull the lever shown in Figure 4 to release the tension on the sanding belt. Pull the sanding belt from the two rollers. Put the new sanding belt in position on the front and rear rollers (Figure 5). Ensure that the arrows on the sanding belt and on your belt sander are pointing in the same direction. Push the lever to the rear to tension the sanding belt.
Adjusting The Sanding Belt Tracking
Turn the machine upside down (Figure 6), hold it firmly with one hand, start motor and release switch immediately after observing tracking of sanding belt. If abrasive belt runs outward, turn tracking adjustment knob clockwise and counterclockwise if belt runs inward.
Adjust the belt until the outer edge of the belt is even with the outer edge of the sanding plate as shown in figure 6A. Also check that the belt doesn’t rub against the belt guide strip shown in figure 6B.
Belt life will be greatly increased by keeping the tracking adjustment set properly.
Dust Collection
BEFORE INSTALLING THE DUSTBAG, UNPLUG THE BELT SANDER.
When using your belt sander, dust and grit are produced. It is important to use a dustbag. Connect the dustbag by locating the nozzle of the bag onto the dust collection port of the belt sander as shown in Figure 7 and firmly pushing on using the wire frame of the dust collection bag. To remove the bag, unplug the belt sander and pull the the plastic nozzle from the dust collection port.
WARNING: Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings (polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can
CAUTION: When working on metal surfaces, do not use the dustbag or a vacuum cleaner because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dustmask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your belt sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
Sanding Lead Base Paint
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:
Personal Safety
•No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being done until all clean up is completed.
•A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the proper (NIOSH approved) mask.
•NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area where dust would settle on them.
Environmental Safety
•Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated.
•Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
•Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work area.
Cleaning And Disposal
•All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently.
•Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust chips or other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular trash
•All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly before being used again.
Handy Hints
•Always start your belt sander before it is in contact with the workpiece and do not switch it off until after it has been lifted from the workpiece.
•Always hold your belt sander with two hands.
•Where possible, clamp the workpiece to a work bench or similar sturdy surface.
•Use the correct grit sanding belt for your application. The following is a suggested list of belt grits to use with different materials.

Tool Care And Maintenance
Never apply excessive force when you use your belt sander. Too much force can result in an overload and cause damage to the motor or the workpiece. If your belt sander becomes too hot, operate it without load for 2 minutes. Always keep the air cooling vents clear. To clean your belt sander, proceed as follows:
BEFORE CLEANING, UNPLUG THE BELT SANDER.
•Use a clean dry paint brush to clear vents and ducts.
•Clean the housings using a clean damp cloth (do not use solvents, gas or turpentine.) IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjust- ment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service personnel, always using identical replacement parts.
Accessories
Use only 3” x 21” (76 x 533mm) sanding belts. Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized service center. If you need assistance in locating any accessory for your tool, please call
CAUTION: The use of any other accessory not recommended for use with this tool could be hazardous.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ
AVERTISSEMENT : Lire et comprendre toutes les directives. Le
CONSERVER CES MESURES.
ZONE DE TRAVAIL
•S'assurer que la zone de travail est propre et bien éclairée. Des établis encombrés et des endroits sombres présentent des risques d'accidents.
•Ne pas utiliser des outils électriques en présence de vapeurs explosives (comme celles dégagées par des liquides, des gaz ou des poussières inflammables). Les étincelles générées par le moteur des outils électriques peuvent enflammer les poussières ou les vapeurs.
•Éloigner les curieux, les enfants et les visiteurs de la zone de travail lorsqu'on utilise un outil électrique. Une distraction peut entraîner la perte de maîtrise de l'outil.
MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ RELATIVES À L'ÉLECTRICITÉ
•Les outils à double isolation comportent une fiche polarisée (une lame plus large que l'autre). La fiche n'entre que d'une façon dans une prise polarisée. Lorsque la fiche n'entre pas à fond dans la prise, essayer de nouveau après avoir inversé les broches de la fiche. Si la fiche n'entre toujours pas dans la prise, communiquer avec un électricien certifié afin de faire installer une prise polarisée. Ne modifier en aucune
façon la fiche. La double isolation 
élimine le besoin d'un cordon trifilaire mis à la terre et d'un système d'alimentation mis à la terre.
•Éviter de toucher à des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Les risques de secousses électriques sont plus élevés si le corps de l'utilisateur est mis à la terre.
•Protéger les outils électriques de la pluie ou des conditions mouillées. Une infiltration d'eau dans l'outil augmente les risques de secousses électriques.
•Manipuler le cordon avec soin. Ne jamais se servir du cordon afin de transporter l'outil ni tirer sur le cordon pour débrancher l'outil. Éloigner le cordon des sources de chaleur, des flaques d'huile, des arêtes tranchantes et des pièces mobiles. Remplacer immédiatement les cordons endommagés. Les cordons endommagés augmentent les risques de secousses électriques.
•Lorsqu'on utilise un outil électrique à l'extérieur, se servir d'un cordon de rallonge prévu pour l'extérieur, portant la mention
SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE
•Demeurer vigilant, prendre soin et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu'on utilise un outil électrique. Ne pas s'en servir lorsqu'on est fatigué ou affaibli par des drogues, de l'alcool ou des médicaments. De graves blessures peuvent résulter d'un moment d'inattention lors de l'utilisation d'un outil électrique.
•Porter des vêtements appropriés. Éviter de porter des vêtements amples ou des bijoux. Recouvrir la chevelure si elle est longue. Éloigner les cheveux, les vêtements et les gants des pièces en mouvement qui peuvent les happer.
•Éviter les démarrages accidentels. S'assurer que l'interrupteur est en position hors tension avant de brancher l'outil. Afin d'éviter les risques de blessures, ne pas transporter l'outil avec le doigt sur l'interrupteur ni brancher un outil dont l'interrupteur est en position sous tension.
•Enlever les clés de réglage avant de mettre l'outil sous tension. Une clé qui est laissée sur une pièce rotative de l'outil présente des risques de blessures.
•Ne pas dépasser sa portée. Garder son équilibre en tout temps. On s'assure d'une meilleure maîtrise de l'outil dans des situations imprévues grâce à une position stable et un bon équilibre.
•Porter de l'équipement de sécurité. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité. Dans certaines conditions, il faut porter des masques respiratoires, des chaussures antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des
