Pneumatic Drum and Flap Sander

The drum and the flap wheel attachment mount onto the mandrel provided. See Figure 14 for proper installation.

1.First slide the flap wheel over the end of the mandrel and position it against the machined land.

2.The drum sander screws onto the threaded end of the mandrel. Remember both the mandrel and the spindle are left-hand threads. The drum sander should be inflat- ed to approximately 10 PSI using a bicycle pump or other low pressure inflation device.

Do not over-inflate.

NOTICE

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

3.These attachments must both be mounted on the spindle at the same time, regardless of whether both will be used. The flap sander attachment helps to provide rigidity to the mandrel and drum sander when they are installed together.
