OPERATION

CHANGING/REPLACING SANDING DRUMS AND SLEEVES

1. As always, disconnect the sander from the power source.

2. Remove the spindle sanding components in reverse order of the installation (Fig. G).

3. Clean all sawdust and debris from the opening for the table insert, the throat plates and any other areas where it

may have collected.

4. Select which new sanding diameter you would like to use and install all necessary components (Fig. G).

5. Secure the sanding drum with the appropriate spindle washer and nut. Tighten until the rubber sanding drum

places enough pressure on the sanding sleeve to prevent it from freely spinning without the drum.

NOTE: The 1/2 inch sanding sleeve does not use a sanding drum. Instead, it mounts directly onto the spindle shaft.

INSTALLING THE BELT SANDER

Belt sanding is helpful for sanding straight lines or

curves along the outside edge of a workpiece. The

belt-sanding attachment oscillates up and down while

the belt moves horizontally across the workpiece.

The work stop supports the workpiece during sand-

ing, helping to prevent it from being ejected by the

moving sanding belt (Fig. H). To use the belt sander,

remove the spindle sanding components and follow

these steps:

1. Unplug the sander from the power source.

2. If spindle sanding components are installed, remove them and place them back in their respective storage slots.

3. Install the belt-sanding attachment to the spindles (Fig. H). Secure it in place with the spindle nut.

4. Install the work stop and secure it in place using the wing bolt. Test run the belt sander to make sure its operating

properly before applying any load.

BELT SANDING STRAIGHT LINES

1. Turn sander ON and allow it to reach full speed before

apply a load.

2. Support the workpiece against the workstop (Fig. I). Us-

ing both hands, guide the workpiece against the rotation

of the sanding belt. Do not force the workpiece against

the sanding belt. Allow the machine to do the work.

3. When finished, turn the sander OFF.
