• The machine is heavy, two people are required to

unpack and lift.

• Use a safety strap to avoid tip over when lifting

Check shipping carton and machine for damage before
unpackaging.  Carefully remove packaging materials,
parts and machine from shipping carton.  Always check
for and remove protective shipping materials around
motors and moving parts.  Lay out all parts on a clean
work surface.  

Remove any protective materials and coatings from all
of the parts and the oscillating edge sander. The pro-

UNPACKING & INVENTORY

tective coatings can be removed by spraying WD-40 on
them and wiping it off with a soft cloth.  This may need
redone several times before all of the protective coat-
ings are removed completely.  

After cleaning, apply a good quality paste wax to any
unpainted surfaces.  Make sure to buff out the wax
before assembly.

Compare the items to inventory figures; verify that all
items are accounted for before discarding the shipping
box.  

If any parts are missing, do not attempt to plug in the
power cord and turn “ON” the machine. The machine
should only be turned “ON” after all the parts have been
obtained and installed correctly.

For missing parts,

contact Steel City at 1-877-SC4-TOOL.
