Unpacking
The sander is shipped complete in one carton.
Carefully unpack the machine and all loose items
from the carton. If any shipping damage is found,
contact your distributor.
If any parts are missing, do not attempt to operate
your sander until the missing parts are obtained
and installed correctly.
Remove the protective coating from the surfaces of
the sander and from any loose parts. This coating
may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with
kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer
thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the
table surfaces with a good quality paste wax.
