Keep loose clothing out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses dur- ing all operations on the shaper. Failure to com- ply may result in serious personal injury.

Always wear a dust mask when operating the sander. Using this machine produces saw- dust which may cause allergic reactions or res- piratory problems.

Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in seri- ous personal injury.

Test-Run

Before you put your Combination Sander into use, give it a quick inspection with the machine switched off and disconnected from its power source.

1.Are all fasteners tight?

2.Is the sanding belt properly tracked and ten- sioned?

3.Rotate disc slowly by hand. Look and listen for any scraping noises or anything that impedes smooth movement. Make appropri- ate adjustments before attempting to run the machine.

4.If the sander appears to be free of problems that might affect its operation, plug it in to its power source and start the machine. Be sure to keep a finger on the OFF button, just in case of a problem with the machine. Run the sander briefly to allow inspection of belt tracking.

5.Turn off the machine, disconnect it from its power source, and re-inspect for loose fas- teners. If the tracking is not correct, refer to the tracking adjustment guidelines in the

Adjustments section.

Never use the Model G1013 for applications other than those for which it was made. DO NOT overload the machine or use excess force when sanding. Severe personal injury, damage to the machine, or damage to your workpiece could occur.
