• Use the work stop to position and stabilize work-
piece. Keep end butted against work stop and move
workpiece evenly across abrasive belt.
Figure 12 - Attaching Work Stop
• Use extra caution when finishing very thin pieces.
• Remove work stop for finishing long pieces.
ADJUSTING DISC TABLE ANGLE
Refer to Figure 2.
WARNING:
Disconnect sander from power source
before making any adjustments.
Disc table is adjustable from 0 to 45° for beveled work.
• To adjust the disc table, loosen the two knobs and
adjust to the desired angle.
• Use the scale on disc table trunnions to set table
from 0 to 45° to abrasive disc.
• When disc table is at desired angle, lock it into posi-
tion by securely tightening the knobs.
REPLACING ABRASIVE DISC
Refer to Figure 2.
WARNING:
Disconnect sander from power source
before making any adjustments.
• Loosen and remove two knobs.
• Gently press down on disc table and slide out disc
table.
• Remove old abrasive disc by peeling it from alu-
minum disc. Removing aluminum disc from motor
shaft is not necessary.
• Clean aluminum disc if necessary. Select the proper
abrasive disc and apply to aluminum disc.
• Additional abrasive discs are available (see
Recommended Accessories, page 11).
• Replace disc table and tighten knobs.
ABRASIVE DISC FINISHING
Refer to Figure 13.
• Abrasive disc sanding is well suited for finishing
small flat surfaces and convex edges.
• Move the workpiece across the down side (right) of
the abrasive disc. The abrasive disc moves fastest
and removes more material at the outer edge.
• For accuracy, use the miter gauge.

USING MITER GAUGE
Refer to Figure 14.
• The miter gauge is used only on the disc table. Use
the miter gauge for securing work and holding the
proper angle while disc sanding.
• Adjust the angle by repositioning the miter gauge
scale and locking it into place with knob.
• Check the accuracy of the miter gauge. Use a com-
bination square to adjust the miter gauge square to
the disc. Loosen screw and reposition indicator if
necessary.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Make certain that unit is disconnected
from power source before attempting to service or
remove any component.
CLEANING
Keep machine and workshop clean. Do not allow saw-
dust to accumulate on the tool. Keep wheels clean. Dirt
on wheels will cause poor tracking and belt slippage.
Operate tool with dust collector to keep dust from accu-
mulating.
WARNING:
After sanding wood or nonmetallic materi-
al, always clean area of sawdust before grinding metal.
Sparks could ignite debris and cause a fire.
Be certain motor is kept clean and is frequently vacu-
umed free of dust.
Use soap and water to clean painted parts, rubber
parts and plastic guards.
LUBRICATION
The shielded ball bearings in this sander are perma-
nently lubricated at the factory. They require no further
lubrication.
• When operation seems stiff, a light coat of automo-
bile-type wax applied to the belt table and disc table
will make it easier to feed the work while finishing.
• Do not apply wax to the belt platen. Belt could pick
up wax and deposit it on wheels causing belt to slip.
KEEP TOOL IN REPAIR
• If power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
• Replace worn abrasives when needed.
• Replace any damaged or missing parts. Use parts
list to order parts.
Any attempt to repair motor may create a hazard unless
repair is done by a qualified service technician. Repair
service is available at your nearest Sears store.
