• Phillips head screw driver
For 1/4", 1/2", & 5/8" spindles
•Loosen the Phillips head screw on the bracket clamp located at the bottom of the spindle. See Figure 2.
•Slide the sanding sleeve onto the spindle completely, ensuring the sleeve slides under the bracket clamp as shown.

•To ensure the sleeve is secure on the spindle, pull on the sleeve to make sure it does not slide.
For 1 ½" & 2" Spindles
NOTE: The threads at the top of the 1 ½" and 2" spindles are reverse threaded. To tighten the nut at the top of the spindle during steps 2 and 3, turn counter clockwise.
•Slide the sanding sleeve onto the spindle, ensuring the bottom edge of the sleeve is even with the bottom edge of the spindle.
•Using the 12 mm wrench (supplied) tighten the nut on the top of the spindle by turning counter clockwise. See Figure 3.
•To ensure the sleeve is secure on the spindle, pull on it. If the sleeve slides on the spindle, continue tightening the nut at the top in

INSTALL SPINDLES
NOTE: Reverse threads are used to attach the spindle to the machine.
Make sure that the switch is in “OFF" position and that the power cord is unplugged.
•If installed, remove the table insert to allow better access the spindle seat.
•Using a 17 mm wrench to hold the spindle seat stationary, screw the bottom threads of the spindle into the spindle seat counter clockwise until hand tight.
•Use a second 17 mm wrench, placed over the retaining nut on the spindle (see Figure 4), to tighten the spindle no more than another ½ turn.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the spindle as this can make it difficult to remove later.
