Compare the items to inventory figures; verify that all items are accounted
for before discarding the shipping box. Report any missing or damaged
parts to your distributor or dealer. Prior to tool assembly and use, read
this manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with proper assembly,
maintenance and safety procedures.
Remove any protective materials and coatings from all of the parts and the
drum sander. The protective coatings can be removed by spraying WD-40
on them and wiping it off with a soft cloth. This may need to be redone
several times before all of the protective coatings are removed completely.
If any parts are missing, do not attempt to plug in the power
cord and turn “ON” the machine. The machine should
only be turned “ON” after all the parts have been obtained and installed
