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.
Sanding
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.
