ASSEMBLY

MOUNTING THE SANDER TO A WORKBENCH

CAUTION:

 If during operation there is any tendency 

for the sander to tip over, slide or walk on the 

supporting surface, the sander should be properly 

mounted to a workbench or stand, and at a suitable, 

safe height for your sanding work to be carried out.

1. Rubber feet are fastened to this sander prior 

to shipping. They may, or may not, be used when 

attaching the sander to a bench or stand.

2. Position the sander on the workbench.

3. Mark the workbench through the two mounting 

holes located in the left and right sides of the sander 

base (between the holes for rubber feet).

4. Drill holes in the workbench at the 2 marks.

5. Using long bolts, washers, lock-washers and nuts; 

or lag bolts; (fasteners not supplied), secure the 

sander to the workbench. FIG. A.

DUST CHUTE INSTALLATION – DISC SANDER

1. If not already pre-assembled by the factory, fasten 

the sanding disc dust chute and cover (Part #36) to 

the machine using the four Phillips M4 screws and 

washers (#37). FIG. B.

ASSEMBLING THE BELT SANDER TABLE

 When assembling the belt & disc 

sander, ensure the machine is disconnected from any 

power source.

1. Locate the round shaped belt-sanding table (#62).

2. Position the table by threading the belt and plate 

through the table’s slot and square opening.

3. Fasten the table to the frame by using the table-

adjustment knob and 8mm washer (#63, 64). FIG. C.

4. Bring the adjustment knob’s screw through the slot 

in the bracket opening on the underside of the table, 

then into the threaded hole in the frame that houses 

the hex nut (#58). 

5. Fasten the table in place by using the adjustment 

handle to turn its integral screw into the nut.
