Bench mounting
If the spindle sander is to be used in a permanent position, it is
recommended that you secure it to a rigid work surface.
• Use the holes in the base of the spindle sander (Image A)
as a template to mark and drill four holes in your intended
mounting surface (i.e. workbench). Secure the spindle sander
into position using large bolts, washers and nuts (not supplied)
• If the spindle sander is intended to be more portable, fix a
board to the base which can be easily clamped and removed
from various mounting surfaces
• If using bolts, make sure they are long enough to penetrate the
workbench or board sufficiently for a secure fix
Note: Use nylon insert lock nuts or spring washers in the fixings to
prevent vibration from loosening the fixings.
Note: Never use bolts that require force to push through the Bench
Mounting Holes as these may crack the plastic body as will
over-tightening the fixings.
Dust extraction
It is recommended that the spindle sander is used with a dust
extraction system for a cleaner and safer work environment.
1. Attach the hose from the dust extraction system to the Dust
Extraction Port (13) and ensure it is secure
2. For greatest efficiency, activate the dust extraction system before
turning on the spindle sander
Selecting a table insert
• Failure to use the correct Table Insert (10) with its matching
Sanding Sleeve (11) could result in pinched fingers or the
workpiece being pulled down between the Table Insert and the
Sanding Sleeve.
• The Sanding Sleeve should fit snugly into the central cut out of
the Table Insert (Images B and C).
• Use the following chart to help determine the correct Table
Insert and Upper Spindle Washer (9) to use with each Sanding
Sleeve.

Selecting the right grade of sanding sleeve
• Sanding Sleeves (11) are available in a variety of different
grades: coarse (80 grit), medium (150 grit) and fine (240 grit)
EN
• Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to
smooth the work, and fine grit to finish off
• Always use good quality Sanding Sleeve to maximise the quality
of the finished task

• It is advisable to do a trial run on a scrap piece of material
to determine the optimum grades of sanding sleeve for a
particular job. If there are still marks on your work after sanding,
try either going back to a coarser grade and sanding the marks
out before recommencing with the original choice of grit, or try
using a new piece of Sanding Sleeve to eliminate the unwanted
marks before going on to a finer grit and finishing the job
Fitting a sanding sleeve
Note: All the Sanding Sleeves (11), except the smallest 13mm
Sanding Sleeve fit over a matching Rubber Drum (12).
Note: Ensure there is no contact between the Sanding Sleeve and
the Table Insert (10) before turning the machine on.
1. Fit the Lower Spindle Washer (7) over the Spindle (5) with the
grooves facing upwards (Image D)
2. Select the correct Sanding Sleeve for the intended job. Select
the corresponding Rubber Drum, (except when using the
13mm Sanding Sleeve)
3. Select the appropriate Table Insert in accordance with the table
in 'Selecting a table insert'
4. Fit the Table Insert over the Spindle and onto the Lower Spindle
Washer (see Image B). Ensure the Table Insert is flush with the
table
5. Fit the Rubber Drum over the Spindle (Images E and F)
6. Slide the Sanding Sleeve over the Rubber Drum
7. Fit the Upper Spindle Washer (9) over the Spindle
• Use the large washer with the 75mm, 51mm and 38mm
Rubber Drums
• Use the medium washer with the 26mm and 19mm
Rubber Drums
• Use the small washer with the 13mm Sanding Sleeve
8. Fit the Spindle Lock Nut (6) on the Spindle (Images G and
H). Tighten the nut just enough to expand the Rubber Drum
against the Sanding Sleeve. Do not over-tighten
• 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: If the sleeve rotates on the drum when switched on, the
Spindle Lock Nut has not been sufficiently tightened to compress
the drum and therefore grip the sleeve.
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.
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.
