CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
Once the assembly steps have been completed, uncoil the power cord,
, and plug it into an appropriate outlet,

(refer back to the section entitled "Electrical Requirements" and make sure all requirements and grounding instruc-
tions are followed).
This 24” horizontal double drum sander is designed for surface sanding of wooden cabinet doors, flat wooden pa-
nels, wide glue-ups and other natural wood products only. This sander is not intended (and should not be used) to
sand any material other than wood.
The main time saving feature of this unit is that it allows for sanding at 2 successive grits in one single pass. Use a
rougher (lower numbered) grit sandpaper on the front drum and a finer (higher numbered) grit sandpaper on the
rear drum.
Selecting the right combination of grits to use on each drum will depend on experience, personal preference and
the finish requirements of the work. Keep in mind that normal sanding principals apply and that each successive
grit further smoothens the surface and removes the scratch marks left by the previous grit. For ideal results never
install a grit on the rear drum that is too high a jump up (no more than 2 grits higher) from the grit installed on the
front drum. As an example, if a 100 grit paper is installed on the front drum, then either a 120 or 150 would be suit-
able for the rear drum.

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SANDING
It is always preferable to remove less material per pass and take multiple passes. This can extend sanding belt life,
place less strain on the motor and provide better workpiece finish quality.
Note: As with any other drum or belt sander, depending on the final finish quality you require, some final hand sanding may
be required.
