Installation and Assembly
Tools needed
1 forklift or hoist with straps
1 14mm open-end wrench (provided)
1 cross-point screwdriver
1 flat head screwdriver
1 set of hex wrenches (provided)
The sander should be placed in a well-lit area with
a sturdy floor and good ventilation. Leave enough
space around the machine for loading and off-
loading stock and general maintenance work.
Do NOT lift the sander directly under the drums or
rollers, as it may damage them. Use a forklift to
move the machine as follows (Refer to Figures 3
through 5):
1. Open the door and remove the four screws
holding the sander to the pallet.
2. Move away the wood block (A) at the front,
which protected the machine from shifting
during transport.
3. Tilt the machine backward just enough to
insert wood block (A).
4. Insert the forks into the gap and carefully lift
the machine.
5. Position the sander in its new location and
gently set it down.
