Mounting
Due to the significant forces exerted on the
sander during operation, you must mount it to a
workbench. We recommend that you use one of
the following methods to secure your sander to
the workbench before using it.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through
Mount" where holes are drilled all the way through
the workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and
hex nuts are used to secure the sander to the
workbench.

where the machine is simply secured to the work-
bench with a lag screw.

machine to make sure it runs properly and is
ready for regular operation.
The test run consists of verifying the following: 1)
The motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2)
the safety disabling mechanism works correctly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate
the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop
using the machine immediately, then review
Troubleshooting on Page 20.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our
