SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY

Assembly Basics

Most of your Combination Sander has been assembled at the factory. There are several sim- ple steps to follow to complete the assembly.

A few common tools will be required for assem- bly: Screwdrivers - medium and large straight blade or Phillips®, Allen® wrenches - 2mm, 3mm, 6mm and open end wrenches - 8mm and 10mm.

Belt Table

The belt table adjusts to allow you to sand your work at angles from -30° up to 45°. To make assembly easier, we recommend you mount the Combination Sander on a table or bench before assembling. Four bolt holes are included on the sander’s base for mounting.

To attach the belt table:

1.Swing the belt assembly to its vertical posi- tion by loosening the 6mm Allen® capscrew shown in Figure 4. Tighten capscrew to hold the belt assembly in this position.

2.Remove the lock handle assembly and the threaded stud from the belt housing using a large flat bladed screwdriver.

3.Line up the belt table trunnion with the slot in the belt assembly bracket. Reinstall the threaded stud, then install the flat washer, toothed nut, lock handle, lock washer and bolt, as shown in Figure 5. Make sure the handle is installed so the table can be loos- ened and tightened without interfering with other components. The belt table’s tight fit is deliberate. Placing the table in position is easier if you swing the belt table so the 45° positive stop bolt is located over the gap in the motor casting cover.
