Sanding Drum/
Sleeve Installation
To ensure the workpiece is supported during sand- ing operations, use the table insert that matches the corresponding drum and sleeve (see table below). 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.

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 on this page 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 sanding drum on the spindle shaft, followed by the corresponding sanding sleeve on the drum, as shown in Figure 13.
7.Secure the sanding drum with the appropri- ate spindle washer and the spindle hex nut. Tighten until the rubber sanding drum places slight pressure on 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 14. DO NOT force the workpiece against the sanding sleeve. Allow the machine to do the work.
