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.
