INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
Your Craftsman 3-Inch Belt Sander is suitable for coarse, medium, and fine sanding of wood, metals, plastics, and other materials. It is ideal when used for smoothing rough boards, chamfering, rounding edges, and many other general sanding applications. Its balanced design makes it easy to use.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a safety concept in electric power tools that eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord and grounded supply system. Wherever there is electric current in the tool, there are two complete sets of insulation to protect the user. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, return the tool to your nearest Sears store for repair, which will be done with original factory replacement parts.

OPERATION
AWARNING: YOUR SANDER SHOULD NEVER BE CONNECTED TO POWER SUPPLY WHEN YOU ARE ASSEMBLING PARTS, CHANGING BELTS, OR MAKING ADJUSTMENTS.
AWARNING: IF ANY PARTS ARE MISSING, DO NOT OPERATE YOUR TOOL UNTIL THE MISSING PARTS ARE REPLACED. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
Make sure power supply is 110-120 volts, 60 HZ, AC only.
Before attempting to use your Sander, familiarize yourself with all operating features (See Figure 1) and safety requirements.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY WITH YOUR SANDER TO MAKE YOU CARELESS. REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO INFLICT SEVERE INJURY.
SWITCH
The switch of your sander is equipped with a "lock-on" feature which is convenient when sanding for extended periods of time. To lock-on, simply depress the trigger of the switch, push in the lock button located on the side of the handle, then while holding the lock button pushed in, release the trigger (See Figure 2). To release the lock, depress the trigger and release it. If you have the "Lock-On" feature engaged during use and your Sander becomes disconnected from power supply, disengage the "Lock-On" feature immediately.
AWARNING: BEFORE CONNECTING YOUR SANDER TO POWER SUPPLY SOURCE, ALWAYS CHECK TO BE SURE IT IS NOT IN "LOCK-ON" POSITION. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL STARTING OF YOUR SANDER RESULTING IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY. ALSO, DO NOT LOCK THE TRIGGER ON JOBS WHERE YOUR SANDER MAY NEED TO BE STOPPED SUDDENLY.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
For ease of operation and maintaining proper control, your Sander has a front handle and a rear handle. These handles allow two-hand operation which aids in maintaining control, keeping the sanding area level with the workpiece, and keeping hands clear of the sanding belt. When operating your Sander, always hold the front handle with your left hand and the rear handle with your right hand as shown in Fig. 2.
WARNING: KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS CLEAR OF MOVING SANDING BELT, FRONT IDLER PULLEY AND DRIVE ROLLER ASSEMBLY. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN THE SANDING OF YOUR HANDS OR FINGERS: See Fig 3.
WARNING: DO NOT LET YOUR FINGERS REST OVER THE FRONT OR RIGHT EDGE OF THE SANDER. IF THE SANDING BELT WERE TO RUN OFF, OR IF IT WERE NOT PROPERLY ADJUSTED, YOUR FINGERS COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE MOVING SANDING BELT RESULTING IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY.
Always operate your Sander as shown in Fig. 2.

Figure 3: Keep Hands Clear
Illustration indicating the areas where hands and fingers must be kept away from at all times.
SELECTING SANDING BELTS
Selecting the correct size and type of sanding belt is an important step in achieving a high-quality sanded finish. Standard 3 inch x 21 inch sanding belts made of aluminum oxide, silicone carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. In general, coarse grit will remove the most material, and fine grit will produce the smoothest finish in all sanding operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit belt will do the job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit belt, sanding until the surface is uniform. A medium grit belt may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser belt, and a fine grit belt used for finishing the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit belt until the surface is uniform.
AWARNING: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES OR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS WHEN OPERATING YOUR SANDER. IF THE SANDING OPERATION IS DUSTY, ALSO WEAR A FACE OR DUST MASK. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN DUST OR LOOSE PARTICLES BEING THROWN INTO YOUR EYES, RESULTING IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY.
INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING SANDING BELT
DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER SUPPLY WHILE ASSEMBLING PARTS OR MAKING ADJUSTMENTS.
To release the sanding belt, lift the tension release lever straight up as shown in Figure 4. When sufficient force is exerted, the spring will be compressed, allowing the pulley to lock in a rear position. This frees the sanding belt so it can be removed. Install a new belt, making sure the arrow inside of the belt is pointing in the direction of rotation, which is clockwise when looking into the open side of the sander. See Fig. 5. Roughly align the belt to its correct position, then release tension on the pulley. Release tension by lowering the tension release lever as shown in Figure 6. The pulley will snap back into operating position.
ALWARNING: KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS CLEAR OF FRONT IDLER PULLEY AND SPRING MECHANISM AT ALL TIMES. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN THEM GETTING PINCHED, RESULTING IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY.

ADJUSTING SANDING BELT TRACKING
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES OR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS WHEN OPERATING YOUR SANDER.
To adjust the sanding belt, connect the Sander to power supply. Place the Sander in an upside-down position as shown in Figure 7. NOTE: This position is for adjustments only. The Sander is not in an operating position. Pull the switch trigger and release immediately. Observe the tracking of the sanding belt. If the sanding belt runs inward, turn the tracking screw clockwise. If the sanding belt runs outward, turn the tracking screw counterclockwise. This should be done until you are sure the belt will not run off the sander, or come in contact with internal parts. After installing a new sanding belt, it may become necessary to change the adjustment several times until the belt becomes pliable.
AWARNING: IF SANDING BELT BEGINS TO WEAR EXCESSIVELY ON THE INNER EDGE, READJUST TRACKING SCREW. IT IS ADJUSTED TOO FAR INWARD AND THE SANDING BELT IS RUBBING AGAINST INTERNAL PARTS.
When you are sure the belt will not rub against internal parts, start your Sander and fine adjust the tracking screw until the belt stabilizes. See Figure 8. When correctly adjusted, the outer edge of the belt will be even with the outer edge of the base of your Sander. Belt life will be greatly increased if a few seconds are spent adjusting the belt tracking.
AWARNING: KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS AWAY FROM MOVING SANDING BELT. ANY PART OF YOUR BODY COMING IN CONTACT WITH MOVING BELT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING OR JEWELRY WHEN OPERATING YOUR SANDER. THEY COULD GET CAUGHT IN MOVING PARTS AND FOREIGN OBJECTS COULD GET THROWN AWAY FROM SANDER CAUSING INJURY.
TO OPERATE
Clamp or otherwise secure the work to prevent it from moving under your Sander.
AWARNING: UNSECURED WORK COULD BE THROWN BACK TOWARD OPERATOR CAUSING INJURY.
Before placing the Sander on the work surface, squeeze the trigger switch and let the motor reach its maximum speed, then lower your Sander to the work surface with a slight forward motion. Using the rear handle to control your Sander and the front handle only to guide it, move it slowly over the work (See Fig. 9). Allowing your Sander to remain in one place will result in an uneven surface.
AWARNING: KEEP A FIRM GRIP ON SANDER WITH BOTH HANDS AT ALL TIMES. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL LEADING TO POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY.
Your sander was designed to provide the proper weight on the sanding belt. Extra pressure will result in uneven work, clogged belts, and possible motor burnout. NOTE: The front roller of your sander was not designed for contour sanding. Sanding on the front roller could cause irregularity in sanding belt tracking.
Use a coarser belt when heavy cutting is desired, not heavy pressure. The importance of this cannot be over-emphasized. The weight has been built into the tool to give the most efficient pressure at the proper location.
