Drum Sanding
To correctly perform a drum sanding opera-
tion:
1. Unplug the machine from the power
source!
2. If not already installed, mount the desired
sanding sleeve over the sanding drum as
described on Page 17, Step 4-5.
3.
Using a hand-operated bicycle tire pump
,
carefully inflate the air bladder of the sanding
drum to no more than 10 PSI. Check the PSI
setting with a pressure gauge to make sure
you do not over-inflate the air bladder
(
Figure 20

Note–
Experiment with different
PSI settings to achieve the desired sanding
drum performance

!
Inflating the drum sander over 10 PSI can
damage the air bladder. Use a hand-operat-
ed bicycle tire pump when inflating and use
a pressure gauge to ensure the air bladder
is not inflated over to over 10 PSI.
