MOUNTING BELT AND DISC SANDER
TO WORKBENCH
If belt and disc sander is to be used in a permanent
location, itshould be fastened securely to afirm support-
ing surface such as a workbench,
If mounting to a workbench, holes should be drilled
through supporting surface of the workbench using
dimensions illustrated.
1. The u nitshould be bolted securely using 5/16" screws
and hex nuts (not included). Screw length should be
1-1/2" plus the thickness of the bench top.
2. Locate and markthe holeswhere belt and disc sander
is to be mounted.
3. Drill (2) 3/8" diameter holes through workbench.
4. Place belt and disc sander on workbench aligning
holes on base with holes drilled in workbench.
5. Insert two 5/16" screws and tighten hex nuts.
An alternate method of mounting is to fasten belt and
disc sander to a mounting board. The board should be
of sufficient size to avoid tipping of sander while in use.
Any good grade of plywood or chipbeard with a 3/4"
minimum thickness is recommended. (Thinner chip-
board can break.)
CAUTION: To avoid injury from tool movement, use
5/16" or larger screws and nuts.
1. Follow instructionsfor mounting to workbench, sub-
stituting a board 18" x 24" minimum size and using
5/16 inchflat head screws, Iockwashers, and hex nuts
(not included). Screw length should be 1-1/2" plusthe
thickness ofthe mounting board.
NOTE: For proper stability, holes must be counter sunk
so screw heads are flush with the bottom surface of
supporting board.
CAUTION: To avoid injury from tool movement,
supporting surface where belt and disc sander is
mounted should be examined carefully after mount-
ing to insure that no movement during use can
result. If any tipping or walking Is noted, secure
workbench or supporting surface before operating
belt and disc sander.
