Background
The Craftsman Sander 315.117120 is a handheld tool used for smoothing various materials such as wood, metal, and plastic. Manufactured by Diehl Manufacturing Co. for Sears, this sander operates with a 3-inch wide by 21-inch long sanding belt and a 3-amp motor.
The sander contains a few key features that aid in its use. It has both front and rear handles to facilitate two-handed operation and control. A tracking adjustment feature is present to help keep the sanding belt centered. For extended usage, a lock-on button is available for continuous operation. Furthermore, a dust collection bag is attached to contain dust during use. The sander is double insulated. It is operated by securing the workpiece to prevent movement, selecting an appropriate grit sanding belt, and installing it correctly. The sander is then plugged in and allowed to reach full speed before being lowered onto the workpiece and moved across the surface. It's recommended to wipe the tool clean with a dry cloth and inspect sanding belts before use. The bearings are sealed and pre-lubricated, so no additional lubrication is required.
