Installation and Assembly
Tools needed
1 forklift or hoist with straps
1 14mm open-end wrench (provided)
1 cross-point screwdriver
1 flat head screwdriver
1 set of hex wrenches (provided)
Remove the screws holding the sander to the
pallet and use a forklift or hoist to lift the sander off
the pallet. DO NOT lift directly under the drums or
rollers, as it may damage them.
The sander should be placed in a well-lit area with
a sturdy floor and good ventilation. Leave enough
space around the machine for loading and off-
loading stock and general maintenance work.
Exposed metal surfaces, such as the shafts on the
drums and pressure rollers, have been given a
protective coating at the factory. This should be
removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene.
Do not use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner
for this purpose. Do not use solvents on plastic
parts, and do not use an abrasive pad because it
may scratch the surfaces.
