• 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
voltage 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.

ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
All electrical connections must be performed by
a qualified electrician. Make sure tool is off and disconnected
from power source while motor is mounted, connected, recon-
nected or anytime wiring is inspected.
Motor is assembled with approved, 3-conductor cord to be
used at 120 volts.
The power lines are inserted directly onto the switch. The
green ground line must remain securely fastened to the frame
to properly protect against electrical shock. The power supply
to the motor is controlled by a single pole locking rocker
switch.
• Remove the key to prevent unauthorized
use.
Refer to Figures 7 - 16.
DESCRIPTION
The Craftsman Belt and Disc Sanders are constructed
of
rugged die cast aluminum and cast iron providing stability and
vibration-free
operation. The belt and disc are used to sand,
deburr, bevel and grind large workpieces of wood and plastic.
The belt housing can be pivoted from vertical to
horizontal for sanding large, straight workpieces. The idler
drum permits the sanding of contoured shapes and finishes.
The disc can be used to sand or bevel surfaces.
The adjustable miter gauge can be used on both the belt and
disc tables for guiding the workpiece at a desired angle while
sanding. Dust shroud has been designed to function as a
work stop for sanding long pieces on the belt.
