MACHINE SET-UP
1. Familiarize yourself with the machine. Read all danger,
warning, and caution statements and the Owner's Manual
before operating this machine. If you or your operator
cannot read English, have this manual explained fully
before attempting to operate this machine.
2. Install dust bag support to the exhaust bracket (figure 1).
Place opening of dust bag over dust bag support and
exhaust bracket; cinch and tie securely to exhaust bracket.
3. Remove belt guard (figure 2.1-a). Position extension over
motor and start thumb screw (figure 2.1-b). Position drive
belt in lower most set of grooves on motor pulley as
shown in figure 2.2-a (for the kick-toe extension with 7"
dia. pad.) The upper most set of grooves are reserved for
use with all other attachments. Tension drive belt, then
tighten thumb screws. Rotate pad driver to inspect
position of drive belt in motor pulley and pad driver belt
grooves.
CAUTION:
Rapid belt wear will occur if both strands
of the drive belt do not run in their respective grooves on
the pad driver and motor pulley.
4. Install belt guard.
5. Remove screw and abrasive retainer. Center abrasive on
pad and secure with abrasive retainer and screw. (Figure
2.2-b)
6. Return machine to upright position and tilt machine back
on casters until it comes to rest on the exhaust bracket.
Machine will be in a reclined position. Do not allow
machine to rest on pad especially after use, or compres-
sion set may take place within elastomer on pad. This will
create a flat spot and bounce during use.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Move machine to the location of your work. Set any
exposed nails with hammer and punch to avoid encoun-
ter with abrasive. Connect the supply cable to an
appropriately grounded and fused circuit.
WARNING: Bodily injury could occur if power is applied to the
machine with the power switch already in the
"ON" position. Always check to assure that the
power switch is in the "OFF" position before
applying power to the power cable.
2. Make sure the control switch is in the "Off" position then
connect the supply cable to the motor pigtail. (Figure 3)
3. With the machine in the reclined position firmly grasp
both handles and flip the control switch to the "ON"
position.
