ASSEMBLY
CLAMPING SANDER TO WORKBENCH
See Figure 7.
An alternative method of mounting is to fasten the sander
to a mounting board. The board should be sufficient size to
avoid tipping while in use. Any good grade of plywood or
chipboard with a 3/4 in. thickness is recommended. (Thinner
chipboard can break.)
Once sander is mounted to board, clamp to workbench.
NOTE: For proper stability, holes must be countersunk
so screw heads are flush with the surface of supporting
board.
SUPPORTING OSCILLATING EDGE BELT/
SPINDLE SANDER TO SAWHORSES
See Figure 8.
The sander has provisions for being supported by sawhorses.
The sawhorse can be built with the crosspiece either vertical
or horizontal. Make sure the sawhorses are secure.
PARTS STORAGE
See Figures 9 - 10.
On board storage has been provided for all washers, spac-
ers, drums, sleeves and hex keys. All front loaded parts can
be protected from incidental dislodging by lowering the table
all the way down until it rests against the base and tighten-
ing the knob.
Storage for the sanding belt assembly is provided in the
pocket on the rear of the base.
