G0449/G0450 37" Drum Sander -27-
Failure to routinely inspect your drum sander
for damage and wear could result in unsatis-
factory work results, premature component
or machinery failure, or operator injury. We
recommend you create a checklist for routine
inspection and maintenance. Remember to
always disconnect the drum sander from its
power source before attempting to inspect,
adjust, or repair this machine!

the threads.
