== Training ==

Training is required to use this machine. Please check on the Makespace meetup group for slots, or request one via the mailing list if there is not one currently scheduled.

== Instructions ==

Please read the manual (linked below) before using the machine. Below is a summary of the same information, but lacking pictures.

Note: All of the Sanding Sleeves (11), except the smallest 13mm (1/2”) Sanding Sleeve fit over a matching Rubber Drum (12).

Note: Ensure there is no contact between the Sanding Sleeve and the Table Insert before turning the machine on.

# Fit the Lower Spindle Washer over the Spindle with the grooves facing upwards
# Select the correct Sanding Sleeve for the intended job. Select the corresponding Rubber Drum, (except when using the 13mm sanding sleeve)
# Select the appropriate Table Insert to match the rubber drum - there should be a few mm gap between the drum and the insert.
# Fit the Table Insert over the Spindle and onto the Lower Spindle Washer. Ensure the Table Insert is flush with the table
# Fit the Rubber Drum over the Spindle
# Slide the Sanding Sleeve over the Rubber Drum
# Fit the Upper Spindle Washer over the Spindle
#* Use the large washer with the 75mm (3”), 51mm (2”), and 38mm (1 1/2”) Rubber Drums • Use the medium washer with the 26mm (1”) and 19mm (3/4”) Rubber Drums
#* Use the small washer with the 13mm (1/2”) Sanding Sleeve
# Fit the Spindle Lock Nut (6) on the Spindle 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.
