Fitting a sanding sleeve
Note.
All of the sanding sleeves, except the smallest
1/2" (13mm) sanding sleeve fit over a matching rubber
sanding drum (6).
1. Place the lower spindle washer
(12) over the spindle (4) with
the fin side facing down.
2. Select a sanding sleeve (7) for
the job that you are planning.
Select the corresponding
rubber drum (6).
Note.
Do not use a sanding
drum with the 1/2" (13mm)
sanding sleeve.
3. Select the table insert (5)
that provides the smallest
clearance between the sanding
sleeve (7) and the opening in
the table insert.
4. Place the table insert (5) over
the spindle (4), and fit it into
the opening in the table.
5. Place the rubber drum (6) over the spindle.
6. Slide the sanding sleeve (7) over the rubber drum (6).
7. Place the upper spindle washer
(13) over the spindle (4).
•
Use the large washer with
the 3" (75mm), 2" (51mm),
and 1 1/2" (38mm) rubber
drums.
•
Use the medium washer with
the 1" (26mm) and 3/4" (19mm)
rubber drums.
•
Use the small washer with the
1/2" (13mm) sanding sleeve.
8. Place the spindle lock nut
(15) on the spindle (4).
Tighten the nut only enough
to expand the rubber drum (6)
against the sanding sleeve
(7). Do not over-tighten.
Note.
When the sanding sleeve is completely worn it is
possible to turn it upside down and maximise its service life
by using the remaining grit.
Note.
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.
