Setting up the sander

WARNING: For your own safety, do not connect the sander to the power source until the machine is completely assembled and you have read and understood the entire Operating Instructions and Parts Manual.

Unpacking

The sander is shipped complete in one carton. Carefully unpack the machine and all loose items from the carton. If any parts are missing, do not attempt to operate your sander until the missing parts are obtained and installed correctly.

Cleaning

Remove the protective coating from the surfaces of the sander and from any loose parts. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the table surfaces with a good quality paste wax.

Assembly

Assembly of the sander is limited to the installation of the disc table and the belt table. Proceed as described in the following paragraphs.

3.Install the screws through the table and base casting into the nuts. Tighten the screws.
