OPERATION
• Use the small washer with
13mm ( 1 ⁄
2
") sanding sleeve
8. Fit the Spindle Lock Nut (6)
on the Spindle (5). Tighten
the nut just enough to
expand the Rubber Drum
(12) against the Sanding
Sleeve (11). Do not over-
tighten
To maximise the service life
of the sanding sleeve, turn
it upside down to use any
remaining serviceable grit.
Do not use a sanding sleeve
that is too worn. This can lead
to excessive heat build up
and damage the rubber drum.
Damaged rubber drums due to
worn sanding sleeves will not
be covered under warranty.
