Drum Sanding

To sand using the optional pneumatic sanding drum:

1.Slide the optional sanding drum onto the shaft so the valve end is near the end of the shaft. Secure with the shaft nut provided. It is not necessary to use wheel flanges with the drum. See Figure 22.

Figure 22 Sanding drum attached.

2.Ensure that the nut seats into the sanding drum. Tighten the nut while holding the sanding drum or the belt drive wheel. Use care not to pinch your fingers against the pivot arm bracket.

3.Slide sanding sleeve onto the drum. Ensure that the arrows on the inside of the sleeve correspond to the direction of the drum movement. If the sleeve has no arrows, slide the sleeve on the drum so the overlap is at the trailing edge of the drum move- ment. See Figure 23.

NOTICE

Do not use a compressor to inflate the pneu- matic sanding drum, it is too easy to over- inflate. Use a hand-operated pump only, and check the inflation pressure with a suitable gauge.

4.Inflate the drum using a bicycle pump or hand pump. DO NOT over-inflate. The rec- ommended air pressure for the drum is 10 psi.

5.Turn on the machine and apply light, even pressure between the workpiece and the sanding drum.

NOTICE

Machine sanding has the capability of removing large amounts of material very rapidly. Be sure to check on the progress of your sanding fre- quently to avoid removing more material than is desired.

Accessory Removal

To remove buffing or sanding attachments, ensure that the switch is in the OFF position and the power cord is disconnected. Hold onto the shaft or drum sander with one hand and loosen the nut with a wrench. If the shaft slips inside of the drum, loosen the nut while holding the belt sander drive wheel. Remember: the auxiliary wheel has left-hand (reverse) threads.
