NOTICE
DO NOT tighten the sanding spindle with
a wrench! The sanding action will further
tighten the spindle to the sander. Using a
wrench could make removal difficult.
To remove the spindle:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Use one of the supplied wrenches to hold
the jam nuts stationary while you loosen the
spindle retainer nut, and the spindle will back
out as it un-threads (see
Figure 21).

Tip:
If the spindle has not been removed for
some time and is stuck, run the machine until
the spindle housing heats up, then retry.

The Model G1071 is supplied with ten rubber
sanding spindles. Use the larger diameter spin-
dles for sanding large sweeping curves and the
smaller spindles for sanding more intricate
curves.
When not in use, the spindles are stored on racks
located on each side of the machine base, as
shown in
Figure 18. Each spindle is secured to
the rack with a hex nut.
To mount the spindle for sanding:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Determine the spindle size needed.
3. Lubricate the threads and shaft shown in
Figure 19 with a light oil.
