Installation

Tools required for assembly:

6mm hex key (“Allen wrench”)

Exposed metal areas of the Disc Sander have been factory coated with a protectant. This should be removed with a soft cloth dampened with a cleaner/degreaser, or kerosene. Do not use gasoline, acetone or lacquer thinner for this purpose. Do not get solvents near plastic or rubber parts, and do not use an abrasive pad because it may scratch metal surfaces.

1.Remove the bolts holding the Disc Sander to the pallet, and use an assistant or a hoist to slide the machine off the pallet.

2.Install the machine in a level, well-lighted location. Secure it to the floor with good quality anchor bolts (not provided).

3.Leave enough space around the work area for loading and off-loading stock and general maintenance.

Attaching Sanding Paper

NOTE: It is recommended that you first inspect certain measurements at the disc/table area and make any needed adjustments (squaring the table, disc adjustment, etc.); this is easier to do before the sanding paper is attached. See the appropriate sections below.

1.Make sure the surface of the disc is clean and free of grease or debris.

2.Lower the table all the way and push back the guard (refer to Figure 5).

3.Remove the backing from the sanding paper to expose the adhesive, and carefully apply the sanding paper to the disc on the machine. Press firmly, starting from the center and working outward, to remove any air bubbles.

Mounting the Brake Assembly

Attach the brake assembly as shown in Figure 1, using the two socket head cap screws, lock washers, and flat washers which are pre- installed on the machine. Use a 6mm hex key to tighten.
