ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR PAINT REMOVAL
1.
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.
2.
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
1.
No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being
done until all clean up is completed.
2.
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. See your local hardware store
for the proper NIOSH approved dust mask.
3.
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
1
.
Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated.
2.
Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mil thickness.
3.
Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work area.
CLEANING AND DISPOSAL
1.
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.
2.
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 pick-up procedures. During clean up, children and pregnant women should be
kept away from the immediate work area.
3.
All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly before
being used again.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE
MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC means your tool will operate on
alternating current. As little as 10% lower voltage can cause loss of power and can result in overheating.
All PORTER-CABLE tools are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.
COMPONENTS (FIG. 1–4)
Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal injury could result.
A. Lever
E. Variable speed dial
B. Idler pulley
F. Belt aligning knob
C. Trigger switch
G. Belt guard
D. Lock button
H. Spring clips
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source
before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, secure the workpiece and
maintain a firm grip on the sander. Friction between the sanding belt and the work will tend to
move the work backward and the sander forward.
To avoid severe abrasion, ALWAYS keep fingers away from the moving belt and areas
where the belt enters the housing.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE ABRASIVE BELT
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source
before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
Severe laceration hazard. If installed backwards, unidirectional sanding belts may not
track properly and may overhang the housing, possibly causing severe lacerations.
1.
Place the sander on its left side.
2.
Pull the lever (A) Fig. 1 out toward the front of the machine to retract the idler pulley (B) and
release the tension on the abrasive belt.
3.
Remove the old belt.
4.
Install the new belt with the arrow (printed on the inside of the belt) on the top and pointing
TOWARD the idler pulley.
NOTE: Some sanding belts are bi-directional. These belts will not have arrows printed on them.
They can be installed to run in either direction.
5.
Engage the front pulley by pushing the lever (A) Fig. 1 back to its original position.

TO START AND STOP THE BELT SANDER
To reduce the risk of injury, make sure the sander is not resting on the workpiece when
the switch is turned on.
To reduce the risk of injury, check to see that the belt guard (G) Fig. 3 is in place,
secured, and working correctly.
1.
Be certain that the the switch is off and the power circuit voltage is the same as the voltage
shown on the specification plate. Connect the machine to the power circuit.
2.
Squeeze the trigger (C) Fig. 2 to start the motor. Release the trigger to stop the motor.
3.
To allow the motor to run without constantly holding the trigger, press the trigger switch (C),
push and hold the lock button (D) Fig. 2 while releasing the trigger switch.
4.
To release the lock button, squeeze the trigger and release.
VARIABLE SPEED
Model 352VS has a Variable Speed Control. The operating speed is adjustable between 850 SFM
(surface feet per minute) and 1300 SFM.
The speed is adjusted by turning the variable speed dial (E) Fig. 2. The first position provides the
slowest operating speed (850 SFM) while position 6 is the fastest (1300 SFM). The speed can be
changed either when the motor is running or is stopped.
TRACKING THE ABRASIVE BELT
Severe laceration hazard. Properly adjust the tracking of the belt to avoid it
overhanging the housing. A running belt overhanging the housing can cause severe lacerations.
Make sure the trigger switch is "OFF" before connecting the tool to power source.
To prevent excessive wear on both the sander and belt, NEVER allow the abrasive belt to rub on
the sander frame. To make sure that the belt is tracking correctly, do the following:
1.
Turn the tool over. Hold the rear handle with the left hand so that the ring finger and the little
finger rest on trigger (C, Fig. 3).
2.
Squeeze the trigger to start the motor.
3.
Turn the belt aligning knob (F) in either direction until the edge of the belt is even with the outer
edge of the rear rubber-covered pulley. The edge of the belt will extend beyond the edge of
the front pulley.
4.
Release the trigger to stop the motor. Allow the tool to come to a COMPLETE STOP before
turning it over and putting it down.
DUST COLLECTION
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source
before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
Empty dust collection system frequently, especially when sanding resin-coated
surfaces such as polyurethane, varnish, shellac, etc. Dispose of coated dust particles according
to the finish manufacturer's guidelines, or place in a metal can with a tight fitting metal lid. Remove
coated dust particles from the premises daily. The accumulation of fine sanding dust particles may
self ignite and cause fire.
Shock hazard. The use of a vacuum hose and vacuum adapter with the belt sander
may generate static electricity that could result in startling static discharge.
Fire hazard. Do not use a dust collection device when sanding metal. Doing so
creates a fire hazard, which may cause serious personal injury and/or damage to the tool.
Do not operate the tool without a dust bag.
To install the dust bag, depress the spring clips (H) Fig. 4 of the dust bag (I) and clip the dust bag
over the rib of the dust spout (J). For the most efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is
approximately half full. Squeeze the spring clip and pull dust bag off vacuum housing, unzip the
rear of the bag, and shake out the dust. Every so often, turn the bag inside out and brush the
accumulated dust from the inside.
A dust adapter and compatible dust bag for connecting to a dust extraction device are available at
extra cost from your local dealer or authorized service center.
To install the dust adapter (K) Fig. 5, place the end with the threaded adapter knob (L) over the dust
spout (J) and rotate to preferred position. Tighten knob (L) to secure dust adapter to dust spout.
GENERAL SANDING
Secure the work and maintain a firm grip on the sander. Friction between the sanding
belt and the work will tend to move the work backward and the sander forward.
ALWAYS be sure the switch is OFF before connecting the tool to power source.
1.
Hold the sander off the work before starting the motor.
2.
Lower the sander to the work, touching the rear part of the belt first. Level the machine when
moving it forward.
3.
Guide the machine over the work in overlapping strokes. Allow the sander to do the work.
4.
Avoid applying excessive pressure. The weight of the machine is usually sufficient for a fast
smooth finish. A slight increase in pressure may speed removal of material, but too much
pressure will slow the motor and decrease removal.
5.
Work back and forth over a fairly wide area to obtain an even surface.
6.
Do not let the tool tilt. The edge of the belt can make a deep cuts into the surface.
7.
Do not pause in any one spot during the sanding operation. The belt will eat into the work
and make the surface uneven.
8.
Lift the tool from the work before turning the motor off.
9.
Always be sure that the motor has completely stopped before putting the tool down.
