GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and serious injury. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) pro-
tected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, and hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of personal
injury.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
4

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain
chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your expo-
sure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area with approved safety equipment such as dust masks spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

SPECIFIC RULES FOR SANDERS
WARNING: Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product
safety rules. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
1. TOOL PURPOSE. Your disc sander is intended for sanding natural, solid woods and composite materials.
Operations for which the tool was not designed, including modification of the machine, may cause machine dam-
age or personal injury, and invalidate the warranty.
2. WORK ENVIRONMENT. Do not operate the tool in wet or damp conditions; doing so significantly increases
the risk of electrical shock. Do not operate the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases; sparks gener-
ated by the tool could ignite these flammable materials. Keep the work area clean.
3. SECURING THE TOOL. For operation safety, mount the machine to a flat and secure work surface or stand.
4. PERSONAL SAFETY. Tie back long hair. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they might get drawn in by
the tool. Always wear ANSI Z87.1-approved glasses with side shields, hearing protection and a dust mask when
using the sander.
5. DO NOT wear gloves while operating this machine.
6. DUST COLLECTION. Use of sanders can produce harmful particles while sanding certain types of woods.
Be sure to wear a dust mask and connect the sander to an adequate dust collection system.
7. TOOL & ACCESSORIES INSPECTION. Before operation, check the tool and accessories for any damage
or missing parts. Do not use the tool if any part is missing or damaged. Make sure all adjustments are correct and
all connections are tight. Keep all guards in place.
8. PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position prior to plugging
in the machine. Always make sure the power switch is in the OFF position and the machine is unplugged when
doing any cleaning, assembly, setup operations, or when not in use.
9. KEEPS HANDS AWAY. Keep your hands and all other body parts away from the rotating sanding disc. Do
not attempt to stop the sanding disc with your hand. Keep hands at a safety distance from the disc while sanding.
10. SANDING DISC. Use only 12-inch PSA adhesive-backed sanding discs.. The use of any accessories or at-
tachments not recommended may cause injury to you and damage your machine. Replace worn, folded or torn
discs. Replacement sanding discs can be purchased from wenproducts.com by searching 65812SD.
11. TABLE DISTANCE. Maintain a 1/16 inch clearance between the sanding disc and table to avoid trapping the
workpiece or fingers.
12. SUPPORTING THE WORKPIECE. Always support the workpiece firmly on the worktable. Use the miter
gauge or suitable jigs when sanding small workpieces.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. In
the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least resistance for an electric current and
reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
1. Examine extension cord before use. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
2. Do not abuse extension cord. Do not pull on cord to disconnect from receptacle; always disconnect by pulling on
plug. Disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
3. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than a 12-gauge wire and should be
protected with a 15A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in
the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Run-
ning at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
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.

1. Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-pronged plugs and
outlets that accept the tool’s plug as shown in Fig. A. Do not modify the
plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by
a licensed electrician.
2. Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result
in electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without
yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replace-
ment of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equip-
ment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
3. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
CHECK WITH A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN or service personnel if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions or whether the tool is properly grounded.
WARNING: To avoid electrocution, DO NOT use in wet or damp areas or expose to rain.

INSTALLING/CHANGING THE SANDING DISC
Your sander comes with a 60-Grit PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) sanding disc. This is a coarse sanding disc that
is good for quick stock removal. For finish sanding, you will need a finer-grit sanding disc. Additional sanding discs
can be purchased from wenproducts.com by searching 65812SD. Follow the steps below to replace a sanding disc:
NOTE: Only 12-inch sanding discs with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) can be used. Hook & loop sanding
discs or sanding discs of different size cannot be used on this sander.
1. Remove the disc guard and dust cover to expose the sanding disc plate.
2. Peel the used sanding disc from the metal disc plate.
TIP: a putty knife and hair dryer may help with this process.
3. Wipe clean the disc plate to make sure it is clean of any residue. You can use mineral spirits to soften the PSA
adhesives to remove any residue from the plate. Rotate the disc by hand to get access to all of the disc surface.
4. Peel the protective backing from the new PSA 12-inch sanding disc. Align the sanding disc with the plate, and
press the disc firmly onto the plate, leaving no loose edges.
5. Re-install the disc guard on the right side of the sanding disc, and secure with Phillips head screws and washers.
Re-install the dust cover against the bottom of the disc, and fasten with Phillips head screws.
NOTE: It is important to install the disc guard, as it prevents you from sanding on the wrong side of the disc.
ONLY sand on the left side of the disc, where the disc is rotating downwards (toward the table).
USING DUST COLLECTION
Sanding operations are dusty and can produce particles that
are harmful to your health. Always wear a dust mask and use
an adequate dust collection system.
Connect the included dust hose to the sander’s dust port
(Fig. 3), and connect the other end to the dust collection sys-
tem of your choice. A dust port adapter may be needed (not
included), depending on the inlet size of your dust extractor.
