FASTENING THE SANDER TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE

1. To use your sander in a permanent location, fasten
it securely to a firm supporting surface, such as a
stand or workbench. Use the four holes, three of
which are shown at (A) Fig. 14.
2. The diagram in Fig. 15 illustrates the size and
center-to-center distance of the holes to be drilled in
the stand or workbench.

3. Alternately, you can secure the sander by fastening
it to a mounting board 18 in. x 24 in. or larger. The
diagram in Fig. 16 shows the size and center-to-
center distance of the holes that you will need to
drill in the mounting board.
NOTE: For proper stability, countersink the holes
underneath the mounting board so that the screw heads
are flush with bottom surface.
4. Securely clamp the mounting board to a stand or
workbench using 2 or more ā€œā€˜Cā€ clamps, as shown
in Fig. 17.
WARNING: Secure the machine base to the
supporting surface. If there is any tendency for the
stand or workbench to move during operation, the
stand or workbench must be fastened to the floor.
