* Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In
the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro-
vides a path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of
plug when installing or removing from outlet.
* Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit
in outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
* Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have
repaired by an authorized service facility.
* Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord
or plug is necessary, do not connect the green (or green
and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
* Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance
with National Electric Code and
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 2) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet
if it is properly grounded.

° Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless
permitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in
Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on
the side of the adapter must be securely connected to a
permanent electrical ground such as a properly grounded
water pipe, a properly grounded outlet box or a properly
grounded wire system.
* Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are
not properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding
means must be tested by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION
CORDS
* The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in volt-
age and loss of power.
* Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to
carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
° Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
° Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool
plug.
° If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

DESCRIPTION
Craftsman 6 x 48" Oscillating Belt Edge Sander with cabinet
is constructed of rugged cast iron and heavy gauge steel pro-
viding stability and vibration-free
operation. The 6 x 48" belt is
used to sand, deburr, bevel and grind large wood workpieces.
The 6 x 48" belt housing can be pivoted from vertical to hori-
zontal for sanding large, straight workpieces. The belt assem-
bly includes a tilting work table that tilts 45 °, miter gauge and
4" dust collection chute. The belt oscillates to reduce heat
build-up and extend belt life.
