Assembly

Tools required for assembly:

Hoist, forklift, or one or more assistants

Wrenches – 9/32”, 1/2” , 9/16”

Hex wrenches – 4mm, 1/8”

Install Stand Legs

The sander is heavy; use caution when lifting.

1.Raise the sander from the floor using a forklift, hoist or an assistant. (Place hoist straps through the carriage arm or below the table mounting brackets. If using a forklift, fork below the table mounting brackets. See Figure 1, page 7.)

2.Position the assembly fixtures below the columns so that the wider part of the plywood faces outward (Figure 3). Lower the sander columns into the assembly fixtures.

3.Mount the four legs to the columns, using 3/8x1-1/2 hex head bolts, 3/8 flat washers and 3/8 flanged lock nuts, using a 9/16” wrench. See Figure 3. Tighten the flanged lock nuts securely, making sure the legs remain in contact with the plywood.

4.Lift the sander and remove the assembly fixtures.

5.With the sander raised, install the four leg glides, (or optional casters, not provided). See Figure 4. If using the casters, first lock the caster by pressing the large tab, in order to remove the hex nut and flat washer.

Table Support Screws

The set screws on the table supports (Figure 5) have been tightened at the factory to eliminate free-play between the table supports and the columns during shipment. All four set screws must be loosened and re-adjusted before operating either the height adjustment mechanism or the conveyor drive. Proceed as follows:

Failure to follow the below procedure may result in misalignment of the drum and/or conveyor bed, or may damage the miter gears.

1.Loosen each hex nut with an open-end wrench, then loosen the set screw with a hex wrench.
