Assembling this stand (Fig. 4) requires, in each instance, placing an M8x20mm carriage head bolt through a hole in the front of the leg, then through the corresponding hole in the brace. Place a 3/8" flat washer on the other end of the bolt, and loosely secure that connection with an M8 hex nut.

Attach the lower braces first.

When you attach the upper braces, place the short upper braces (A) Fig. 4 on top of the long upper braces

(B).

Attach a plastic foot (C) Fig. 4 on the bottom of each leg.

MACHINE TO STAND

Carefully set the sander on the stand. Align the four holes on the top of stand (A) Fig. 5 with the four mounting holes on the base of sander (B). Place a 3/8" flat washer on an M8 x 45mm hex head screw (C). Insert the screw through the hole in the base of the machine (B) and stand

(A). Place a 3/8" flat washer on the other end of the screw and thread an M8 hex nut on the screw. Tighten securely. Repeat this process for the three remaining holes.

DRIVE BELT/ ADJUSTING BELT TENSION

Use the supplied hex wrench (A) Fig. 6 to loosen the screw (B). Move the sanding arm (C) to the vertical position. Tighten the screw (B). Place the drive belt (D) on the pulleys.

NOTE: The drive belt (D) Fig. 7 should be firm, but not too tight on the pulleys (E and F) and should have approximately 1/4" to 1/2" deflection in the belt at the center (E and F) when using light finger pressure. The drive belt does not require excessive tension to function properly.

To adjust the belt tension, loosen the locknut (G) Fig. 7. Use the wrench (A) to tighten or loosen the adjustment screw (H). when the adjustment is correct, tighten the locknut (G). After the drive belt (D) Fig. 7 has proper tension, move the sanding arm to the horizontal position.
