OPERATIONS
Sanding
Sanding Drum/Sleeve
Installation
To ensure the workpiece is supported during sanding opera-
tions, use the table insert that matches the corresponding
drum and sleeve (see Figure 11). It is important to keep
the gap between the table insert and drum as small as
possible to reduce the risk of a pinch hazard.
To install or replace a sanding drum/sleeve:
1. DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER.
2. While holding the sanding drum and sleeve, use the
arbor wrench to loosen and remove the spindle hex
nut.
3. Remove the spindle washer, sanding sleeve, sanding
drum, table insert and base washer (see Figure 12).
4. Clean the table opening for the table insert and any
other spindle areas as necessary. There should be no
sawdust on the ledge of the table opening where the
table insert is placed or the table insert will not sit
flush with the table.
5. Use the table in Figure 11 to select the required size
of components for the sanding drum/sleeve size you
have chosen.
6. Insert the base washer, then install the desired sand-
ing drum on the spindle shaft, followed by the cor-
responding sanding sleeve on the drum, as shown in
Figure 12.
7. Secure the sanding drum with the appropriate spindle
washer and the spindle hex nut. Tighten until the rub-
ber sanding drum is snug against the sanding sleeve.
To sand a workpiece:
1. Turn the spindle sander ON and allow it to reach full
speed.
2. Using both hands to maintain control of the workpiece,
guide the workpiece against the rotation of the
spindle, as shown in Figure 13. DO NOT force the
workpiece against the sanding sleeve. Allow the
machine to do the work.
