Sanding Spindle
The Model W1686 is supplied with ten rubber
sanding spindles. Use the larger diameter spin-
dles for sanding large sweeping curves and the
smaller spindles for sanding more intricate
curves.
When not in use, the spindles are stored on
racks located on each side of the machine base
as shown in
Figure 6
. Each spindle is secured to
the rack with a hex nut.
To mount the spindle for sanding:
1.
Determine the spindle size needed.
2.
Lightly lubricate the threads shown in
Figure
7
with a light lubricant.
3.
Insert the threaded end of the spindle shaft
into the spindle mounting hole and screw it
down by hand as shown in
Figure 8
. The spin-
dle is now mounted and ready for action.
NOTICE
DO NOT
tighten the sanding spindle down
with a wrench! The sanding action will fur-
ther tighten the spindle to the sander.
