Throat plate chart
Sanding Sleeve
(25)
Sleeve Drum (31) Throat Plate (26) Spindle Washer
(28)
13mm (1/2") N/A 13mm (1/2") Small
19mm (3/4") Small 19mm (3/4") Medium
26mm (1") Medium 26mm (1") Medium
38mm (1-1/2") Large 38mm (1-1/2") Medium
51mm (2") Very Large 51mm (2") Large
Notes
• All the Sanding Sleeves (25), except the smallest 13mm (1/2”), fit over a matching Sleeve
Drum (31).
• When the sanding sleeve is worn at the bottom only it is possible to turn it upside down and
maximise its service life by using the remaining grit
• If the sleeve rotates on the drum when switched on, the Spindle Nut (27) has not been
sufficiently tightened to compress the drum and therefore grip the sleeve.
• Ensure there is no contact between the Sanding Sleeve and the Table Insert before switching
the machine on.
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: Failure to use the correct Throat Plate (26) with its matching sanding sleeve
could result in pinched fingers or the workpiece being pulled down between the Throat Plate
and the sanding sleeve.
The sanding sleeve should fit snugly into the central cut-out of the Throat Plate.
Tilting the Table
The Tilting Table (16) can be tilted up to 45° this allows easy chamfering as well other edge
work
1. Loosen the 2 Table Angle Knobs (8 & 19) on both sides of the table
2. Move the table to the required angle position using the Table Angle Gauge (9). There are
click-stop Table Angle Notches (10) at common angle positions (0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30° & 45°)
3. Lock the 2 Table Angle Knobs to secure the table at the required position
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as
well as suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
WARNING: ENSURE gloves and clothes worn do not have loose threads that could get
caught by the rotating spindle and drag your hand or head into the rotating spindle causing
severe injury. It is recommended to wear gloves that are not fabric based.
Switching on and off
Note: Ensure there is no contact between the Sanding Sleeve and the Throat Plate or Sanding
Belt and table surface before turning the machine on.
• To turn the spindle sander on pull out the ON/OFF Switch (12) which hinges at the top
• To turn the spindle sander OFF, press in the ON/OFF Switch
Note: The ON/OFF Switch is designed that it can be easily pressed in to turn off quickly when
in the ON position.
IMPORTANT: To prevent operation by children remove the Switch Lock (13) by pulling away
from the ON/OFF Switch and store securely. Once the Switch Lock is removed the ON/OFF
Switch is non-functional so it is important the Switch Lock is not lost.
Sanding
WARNING: Do not sand metal with this sander. Sanding metal will cause sparks that may
ignite wood and dust particles on the sander or in the workshop
Note: The spindle and belt rotate in an anti-clockwise direction
1. Check the machine is mounted securely on the workbench
2. Wear appropriate safety equipment, including face mask and safety glasses, then switch
on the dust extraction system (if available)
3. Turn the sander ON and allow the motor to reach full speed
IMPORTANT: Feed the workpiece gradually, AGAINST the direction of rotation, onto the sanding
sleeve (Image D) or belt. Failure to do this could force the workpiece away from the sanding
sleeve or belt with risk of injury. Do not force the workpiece or apply excessive force.
4. Use the Workpiece Stop (3) when possible
5. When finished, turn off the machine and disconnect from mains power
