ELECTRICAL INFORMATION GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS NOTE: Before making any adjustments check that the power switch is in the OFF position and that the plug is disconnected from the power source. 6 3 4 SANDING BELT TABLE This machine is equipped with a tilting table secured by a lock lever.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS TESTING THE MACHINE Once you have properly assembled the machine, perform a test run to see that everything powers up and runs correctly. All of the tools for assembly and adjustments should be removed and cleared away before turning on the machine.
