CONNECTING DISC SANDER TO POWER SOURCE
POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and
should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension
cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. Before
connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the
electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the tool. All line connections should make good
contact. Running on low voltage will damage the motor.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your disc sander is wired for 110-120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the disc sander to
the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position. The motor provides a no-load speed of
1725 RPM.

When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked
in the “OFF” position. This can be done by grasping the
switch toggle (B) Fig. 9, and pulling it out of the switch,
as shown. With the switch toggle (B) removed, the switch
will not operate. However, should the switch toggle be
removed while the machine is running, the switch can be
turned “OFF” once, but cannot be restarted without
inserting the switch toggle (B).
