UNPACKING
The machine is properly packaged and
shipped complete in a carton for safe
transportation. When unpacking, carefully
inspect the carton to ensure that nothing
has been damaged during transit. Open the
carton and check that the grinder and the
parts are in good condition.
While doing inventory, if you can not find
any part, check if the part is already
installed on the machine. Some of the parts
come preassembled.
MOUNTING
The CT169 Grinder with Belt Sander
weighs 38 lbs. When mounting it on a
workbench, make sure the workbench is
capable of holding the weight of the
machine and the surface of the workbench
is level.
The CT169 is provided with 4 pre-drilled
holes on its base to allow it to be mounted
on a workbench.
To mount the CT169 on a workbench:
Remove the rubber feet from the four
mounting holes on the base of the machine.
Place the machine on the workbench and
mark using a pencil on the bench surface
through the 4 holes on the base.
Remove the machine and drill the 4 holes
on the marked points using a proper size
drill bit.
Position the machine on the table with the
holes on the base aligned with the holes on
the workbench.
Use bolts (not provided) that exceed the
thickness of the base plus the thickness of
the bench top and secure the machine to
the workbench.
