SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY

Attaching Flap Sander

The Flap Sander attachment is secured with a

couple of ties which hold the assembly together

when it is not mounted on the motor shaft.

Carefully release the ties and remove them. Hold

the assembly together by grasping both end

plates at the same time.

The Flap Sander attachment is designed to be

mounted on the left hand spindle of the motor

(when facing the front of the motor, the side with

the switch on it). The mounting bolt has a left

handed thread on it which can only be properly

installed on the left hand spindle.

The abrasive side of the sanding flaps should face

the operator when mounted on the machine. Slide

the assembly onto the motor spindle, then thread

the bolt with the flange washer onto the end.

Figure 3 shows the proper mounting direction of

the Flap Sander and the installation of the retain-

ing nut on the end of the spindle.

Securing Motor

to Bench

The sanding motor body must be securely mount-

ed before the machine can be safely used.

There are four

⁄8" holes in the motor base which

can be used to secure the machine to a tool stand

or workbench.

Figure 2 shows the approximate

dimensions of the hole pattern. It is best to use

the actual motor base as a guide for positioning

the holes.

The Sander can be temporarily mounted by using

bolts with wing nuts. The Sander must be secure-

ly mounted because sanding forces can be signif-

icant and could cause the sanding machine to

move.
