MOUNTING
Mounting the sander to a workbench (Fig. 2)
If the sander is to be used in a permanent location, it should be fastened securely to a firm support-
ing surface such as a workbench. In such case holes should be drilled through supporting surface of
the workbench using dimensions as illustrated in Figure 2.
1. Bolt the unit securely using 5/16” screws and hex nuts (not included). Screw length should be
about 38 mm (1 ½”) plus the thickness of the bench top.
2. Locate and mark the holes where the sander is to be mounted.
3. Drill two 9,5 mm (3/8”) holes through the workbench.
4. Place the sander on the workbench aligning the holes on the base with the holes drilled on the
workbench.
5. Insert two 5/16” screw and tighten hex nuts.
Mounting the sander to a mounting board (Fig. 3)
An alternative method of mounting is to fasten the sander to a mounting board. The board should be
of sufficient size to avoid tipping of sander while in use. Any good grade plywood or chipboard
with a 3/4” minimum thickness is recommended; thinner chipboard can break. To avoid injury from
machine movement, use 5/16” or larger screws and nuts.
1. Follow instructions for mounting to workbench, substituting a board of minimum size 45x60cm
(18”x24”) and using 5/16” flat head screws, lock washers and hex nuts (not included). Screw
length should be about 38 mm (1 ½”) plus the thickness of the mounting board.
Note: For proper stability, it is advisable to use flat head screws so that the screw heads are flush
with the bottom surface of the supporting board.
Warning: To avoid injury from machine movement, supporting surface where the sander is
mounted should be examined carefully after mounting to insure that no movement during use can
result. If any tipping or walking is noted, secure the workbench or supporting surface before operat-
ing the sander.
Clamping the sander to a workbench (Fig. 4)
The sander can be clamped directly to a workbench using two or more C-clamps on the base of the
unit (one clamp on each end of the unit).
ASSEMBLY
Installing the sanding disc and guard (Fig. 5)
1. Locate the sanding disc and peel the packing from it. Align the perimeter of disc with the plate
and press disc firmly into position all the way around.
2. Locate the disc guard and two pan head screws M4,2 x 1,4-12 from loose parts.
3. Position the disc guard against the lower 1/3 of disc aligning holes as shown.
4. Using phillips-screwdriver, fasten the screws securely.
Installing the work support (Fig. 6)
1. Locate the work support and hex screw M6 x 1,0-14, washer and lock washer.
2. Hold the work support into position and fasten as shown. Do not overtighten.
Installing the table assembly (Fig. 7 -10)
1. Locate the table support and three hex screws M6 x 1,0-14, washer and lock washers from loose
parts.
2. Position the table support against the table, aligning holes as shown in Figure 7.
3. Fasten the table support to the table as shown in Figure 7.
4. Locate the washer 6,5 x 17,8 x 1,6 and knob from loose parts.
