FITTING A SANDING SLEEVE
NOTE:
All of the Sanding Sleeves
(11)
, except the smallest
13mm (1/2”) Sanding Sleeve fit over a matching Rubber
Drum
(12)
.
The Smallest Sanding Sleeve fits over the Spindle alone and
uses the Small Washer.
NOTE:
Ensure there is no contact between the Sanding
Sleeve and the Table Insert before turning the machine on.
Fit the Lower Spindle Washer
(7)
over the Spindle
(5)
with
the grooves facing upwards.

in accordance with
the table in

Fit the Upper Spindle Washer
(9)
over the Spindle
Use the large washer with the 75mm (3”), 51mm (2”), and
38mm (1 1/2”) Rubber Drums
Use the medium washer with the 26mm (1”) and 19mm
(3/4”) Rubber Drums.

Fit the Spindle Lock Nut
(6)
and the Spring Washer
on the
Spindle. Tighten the nut just enough to expand the Rubber
Drum against the Sanding Sleeve. Do not over-tighten.

When the sanding sleeve is completely worn it is possible to
turn it upside down and maximise its service life by using the
remaining grit.
NOTE:
If the sleeve rotates on the drum when switched on,
the Spindle Lock Nut has not been sufficiently tightened to
compress the drum and therefore grip the sleeve.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use a sanding sleeve that is too worn.
This can lead to excessive heat build-up and damage the
rubber drum. Damaged rubber drums due to worn sanding
sleeves will not be covered under warranty.
IMPORTANT:
When disassembling the upper and lower
Spindle Washers, these may become difficult to remove from
the Rubber Drum.
If this occurs use a blunt edge to remove the Washers.
