Safety Rules for Belt Sander Bench Mounting Kits
This accessory bench clamp and guides can
convert your belt sander into a stationary unit
for occasional use. It is intended for sanding
flat, bevel and flush surfaces.
Read and understand the manual for the
tool and these instructions for the use of
this accessory with the tool. Failure to
follow important safety instructions can result
in serious personal injury.
Let the belt sander do the work, exert
moderate but firm pressure while holding the
material against the belt and end stop.
Pressing hard does not remove material any
faster.
Wear eye and dust protection equipment.
Use in a well ventilated area to minimize
airborne dust or attach to a vacuum
cleaner. Do not use for sanding materials
like asbestos, paint or other hazardous
materials that could create injurious dust.
Particles are expelled from workpiece during
sanding operations which can irritate eyes and
lungs possibly causing injury.
Always clamp or secure sander and fixture
when bench mounted. Always use edge
stop, fence, or guide when sanding short or
small workpieces.
Securely lock all
adjustable parts so they cannot loosen
while sanding. Fingers or clothing can be
dragged into pulley and housing area.
1. Always make sure your stand is securely clamped to a workbench as shown in figures 3,
4, or 5, with the clamp provided.
2. When straight sanding, position stand as shown in position A figure 1. Thread fence
mounting screw into nut in stand recess until secure. When bevel sanding, remove fence
from position A and thread into position B. To adjust, loosen screw and rotate fence to
desired angle and secure with screw.
3. Position tool as shown in figures 3, 4, or 5. Thread tool mounting screw from bottom side
of stand into housing of tool, until secure.
Unplug the sander before changing
accessories. Accidental start-ups may occur
if sander is plugged in while changing an
accessory.
Be aware of the location and setting of the
switch "ON" position. Never leave the
switch in the "ON" position. Be aware of
switch location and know how to shut off
the tool in emergency situations. Accidental
start-ups and the inability to turn the tool off,
could cause injury.
Avoid awkward hand positions where the
belt could pull workpiece and your fingers
into the belt or pulleys. Keep your fingers
and clothing away from the belt. They could
get cut or wedged between the pulley, belt
and motor housing.
Properly adjust tracking of belt to avoid it
overhanging the housing. A running belt
overhanging its housing can cause severe
lacerations. If belt frays, trim frayed ends to
prevent distraction.
Keep the cord to the side away from
pulleys. The cord can be dragged into belt
housing and become entangled with the
pulleys.
Do not wet sand. Water entering a power
tool could result in electrical shock hazard.
Do not sand magnesium. Magnesium dust
is highly flammable.
