There is a 4” diameter dust outlet on the right side
of the machine allowing for the connection to a
dust collector (not included).
•
Be sure to use appropriate sized hose and fittings
(not included) and check that all connections are
sealed tightly to minimize airborne dust.

CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
Plug the machine into a proper receptacle – before connecting to the power source make sure that the switch is in
the “off” position and that the power supply is of the same type as that stamped on the I.D. nameplate of the motor.
Running on low voltage will damage the motor.
TO AVOID RISK OF SHOCK OR FIRE, DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH A DAMAGED POWER CORD OR PLUG.
REPLACE DAMAGED CORD OR PLUG IMMEDIATELY.

ON/OFF SWITCH & SAFETY KEY
The model 15-005S M1 is equipped with a simple “rocker style” On/Off switch featuring a removable lock out safety
key.
To prevent unauthorized use or unintentional start-up, remove the safety key and store it in a safe place whenever
the sander is not in use.
To start the sander insert the safety key and pull the switch toward you. To stop the machine, push the switch in.
MAKE SURE THE SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD. REMOVE THE SWITCH
KEY WHENEVER THE SANDER IS NOT IN USE. PLACE IT IN A SAFE PLACE AND OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THIS MACHINE
This machine has been designed for sanding or polishing (removing kerf or pencil marks) on small workpieces,
such as chair legs or cabinet doors.
The sanding belt can be tilted at any angle between 90º and 180º for bevelled pieces. Flat sanding, with belt in
hoizontal position (180º), is easier and safer for longer workpieces.
The auxiliary/end table can be installed on the right side of the sanding head and used for sanding round or
curved surfaces.
The oscillating feature allows for faster more efficient sanding. The cross grain sanding action caused by the oscil-
lation (vertical travel) of the belt optimizes sanding efficiency and extends sanding belt life by using a larger area
of the belts’ surface. Another advantage of the oscillating action of the belt is to help dissipate surface heat build-
up – as heat build-up can cause premature belt wear.
