Always ensure the sander is
unplugged prior to attempting any assembly,
installation or changing of parts and accessories.
ASSEMBLE THE FRAME TO THE BASE
1. Place the Base (Part #5) on a bench and
locate the two elongated holes that will be used
to secure the sanding Frame (#64) to the base.
2. Remove the plastic Belt Cover (#74) from the
frame, by unscrewing the two Knobs (#75). This
will allow you to see the two threaded holes in the
frame for alignment with the base’s holes. FIG. 1.
3. Line up the two holes in the frame with the two
holes in the base. From the bottom of the base,
insert the two hex head Screws, Washers and
Lock Washers (#7, 2, 3) through the holes to join
them together. You need to tilt the base up to do
this. Hand tighten the two screws. FIG. 2.
4. Do not nal tighten at this point.
INSTALL THE V-BELT
5. The large Belt Pulley (#42) is on the motor
arbor and the smaller Pulley (#87) is on the arbor
that extends from the frame to drive the sanding
belt. Slip the V-Belt (#38) onto the pulleys. FIG. 3.
6. Slide the sanding belt frame assembly to
tighten the belt, so there is between 1/4” and 1/2”
of deection, as shown in FIG. 4.
7. Both pulleys should be in-line with each other.
If not, move the frame and/or pulleys to align.
8. Final tighten the sanding frame to the base,
and re-attach the cover (#74). See step 2 above.
INSTALL THE BELT AND PULLEY GUARD
9. Position the belt & disc Drive Belt Guard (#37)
over the pulleys as shown in FIG. 5.
10. Line up the two holes in the guard with the
holes in the Sanding Disc Casting (#15), and
fasten the guard in place with the two M4 pan
head Phillips Screws and Washers (#14, 35).
11. Do not nal tighten the screws at this time, as
you have to adjust the guard to the disc.
NOTE: access to the one screw is through a
pre-cut hole located near the small pulley end.
