Amp Draw Meter
The amperage draw meter ( Figure 17) is located
above the control panel. Use the meter to monitor
the amperage draw on
the machine while per-
forming sanding operati ons.
As a general rule, always start with a small
load and work your way up. DO NOT work your
machine to its maximum load, where you can
hear the motor lose RPM; instead, make multiple
passes or install a coarser grit paper.
Amp load will be directly affected by many factors
such as feed rate, depth of cut, wood type, sand-
paper grit, and workpiece width. If the amp load is
in the red load range, the machine is overloaded
and motor damage will occur. Keep the amp load
in the green range during operation.

NOTICE
DO NOT VOID WARRANTY! Keep the amp
draw within the GREEN load range shown
on the AMP LOAD CHART. If you operate
the sander in the RED load range, capacitor
or motor failure will occur and will not be
covered under warranty.
