Finish removing all contents from the shipping 
container, and compare items with the list above. 
Contact your distributor or Walter Meier 
(Manufacturing) Inc., if any parts are missing. Do 
not discard any shipping material until the sander 
is set up and running properly. 

Report damage, if any, to your local distributor 
and/or shipping company. 

Exposed metal surfaces, including spindles, have 
been coated with a protectant. Clean these 
surfaces with a mild solvent or kerosene. Clean the 
spindles. Do 

not

 use lacquer thinner, paint thinner, 

or gasoline, as these will damage painted 
surfaces. 

Periodically apply paste wax or other protectant to 
the table top to prevent rusting. 

Spindle and Insert Storage Plates 

See Figure 2. 

Clean the insert plates and push the unused 
inserts into Storage Plate B. Place spindles in the 
opposite Storage Plate A. 

Installing Spindles 

1.  Before inserting the threaded spindle into the 

spindle housing, make sure the surfaces are 
clean.   

2.  Thread the spindle counterclockwise into the 

spindle housing. 

3.  Using the provided wrenches, tighten the 

spindle nut (A, Figure 3) counterclockwise 
while holding the spindle housing flat (B, 
Figure 3) with the other wrench. 

4.  Do not over-tighten the spindle as it may be 

difficult to remove after the sanding operation.
