(Suggestions for Care & Operation…Parts List)
Introducing:
Your new Silver-Line SL-8 floor sander is engineered with both the user and dealer in mind.
To the renter the SL -8 offers ease of handling, quiet, dust-free sanding and results that look
professional. For the dealer the SL -8 offers years of easy, low cost maintenance.
Inspect:
Check the shipping cartons for any signs of damage and inspect the ma chine and its parts
for any possible damage.
Please note that the handle and dust tube sockets are in good working
order. They have been inspected and there are no cracks at the time of shipping. Please take care
when assembling so as to not break these pieces when installing their perspective parts.
Assemble:
Assemble the machine by inserting the dust tube and the handle/switch tube assemblies in
their respective sockets and tighten the retaining screws.
Do not over tighten and cause
breakage!
Put the dust tube elbow on the dust tube and tie the dust bag on the elbow. When you
install the switch handle assembly make sure the switch is facing up.
Voltage:
Use this sander only on house current, (never use 220 volt). The SL -8 uses 14 amps while
operating. When additional extension cords are required use only 12/3 heavy -duty cord. Be sure
that the machine is switched OFF and is resting on the back of the chassis before plugging it into
the proper current.
Dust Collecting:
The dust collection system will be most efficient when the bag is emptied when it is 1/3 to
½ full. Remember to remove all sawdust from the house.
Sanding Drum:
The sanding drum that is installed on your new SL -8 has been dynamically balanced and
leveled in our factory to assure and even 8” cut. See directions inside to install paper.
