WARNING:
Always
wear
safety
goggles
(not
glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87.1 when using
your sander. Failure to do so could result in dust,
shavings, loose particles, or foreign
ob)ects being
thrown in your eyes resulting in possible serious
injury. If the operation is dusty, also wear a face or
dust mask.
NOTE: This spindle sander is a unique design. Although
it is generally quieter than most power tools, some noise
is normal. When it is operating normally, you will hear a
gear-drive noise. As the gears wear, they may get louder.
This is normal and does not affect the performance of the
sander.
Sanding
Insert the switch key and turn sander on. Let the motor
build to its full speed, then gradually feed workpiece
against the rotation of sanding sleeve. DO NOT let the
workpiece
contact
sanding
sleeve
before turning
on
sander and allowing it to develop full speed.
Do Not Force. Exercise
Caution!
You will become
familiar with the sander's features with practice and use.
If at all possible, always sand with a scrap piece of the
same wood, beforehand.
Atways Remain Alert! Do Not operate sander when
fatigued, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Feed Direction
When sanding, the sanding sleeve rotates counterclock-
wise. Therefore, you should feed the workpiece against
the sanding sleeve from right to left as shown. When led
from right to left, the rotation of the sanding sleeve sands
against the workpiece. If fed in the opposite direction, the
rotation forces of the spinning sanding sleeve will tend to
throw or bounce the workpiece away from the sanding
sleeve. This could cause loss of control of workpiece or
injury.
Edge Sanding
with Auxiliary
Fence
A straight edge can be sanded more accurately by using
an auxiliary fence. To attach a fence, turn the sander
OFF and clamp a suitable wood piece securely to the
table. Adjust the gap between the fence and sanding
drum to the desired width. Stand clear of the path of the
workpiece and feed it in slowly from right '_o teft (against
the direction of rotation of the spindle.
CAUTION:
Do not feed the workpiece from left to
right. Feeding the workpiece
from left to right (with
the rotation
of the drum) will cause the sanding
sleeve to grab the workpiece and throw
it. Do not
stand,
or permit anyone
else to stand in line with
the auxiliary fence.
