Upper Arm Assembly

To attach the upper sanding arm assembly:

1.Make certain the two (2) setscrews on the bottom of the pivot arm are firmly tightened. When the additional weight of the upper arm assembly is added, you do not want the pivot arm to flop over.

2.Remove the two (2) hand knobs from the pivot arm and slide the upper sanding arm assembly into the lower pivot arm. The sand- ing arm should seat on the collar.

3.Align the holes and replace the hand knobs and tighten. See Figure 9.

Sanding Belt Shoe

Attach the sanding shoe mounting bracket assembly to the pivot arm and secure the two (2) cap screws with a 6 mm Allen® wrench.

Now attach the shoe with the graphite surface to the mounting bracket as shown in Figure 10. Secure these two (2) cap screws with a 6 mm Allen® wrench. Both of these sets of mounting bolts are slotted and allow adjustment of the shoe in and out, and side to side. After the belt is installed you will want to do a final adjustment to the shoe so it just makes light contact with the back of the belt, and make certain it is centered on the belt.

Do not attempt to turn on the machine until assembly and adjustments are completed. Turn off the power switch and ensure that the machine is unplugged. Failure to do so could result in serious operator injury.
