Dust Collection

The use of a dust collection system with the Disc Sander is strongly recommended. It will maintain shop cleanliness, and help prevent possible health hazards caused by wood dust.

Make sure the capacity of the dust collector is suitable for this size machine. Minimum 600 cubic feet per minute is recommended.

The Disc Sander has a 4” diameter dust port (Figure 2). Slide the hose of your dust collector over the outlet, and secure with a hose clamp. NOTE: Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for this purpose.

Grounding Instructions

Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury.

This machine must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of electric shock to the operator. Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment- grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Single Phase Connections

The single phase Sander is factory wired for 230 volts only. It is not supplied with a plug. You may either install a UL/CSA-listed plug suitable for 230 volt operation, or “hard-wire” the Sander directly to a service panel (make sure a disconnect is available for the operator).

It is recommended that the single phase Sander be connected to a grounded and dedicated, minimum 30 amp circuit with a 30 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Local codes take precedence over recommendations.

Three Phase Connections

The three phase Sander is factory wired for 230 volts. It is not supplied with a plug. You may either install a UL/CSA-listed plug suitable for 230 volt operation, or “hard-wire” the Band Saw directly to a service panel (make sure a disconnect is available to the operator).
