Installation; Attaching Sanding Paper; Mounting The Brake Assembly - Powermatic DS20 Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

Installation

Tools required for assembly:
6mm hex key ("Allen wrench")
Exposed metal areas of the Disc Sander have
been factory coated with a protectant. This
should be removed with a soft cloth dampened
with a cleaner/degreaser, or kerosene. Do not
use gasoline, acetone or lacquer thinner for this
purpose. Do not get solvents near plastic or
rubber parts, and do not use an abrasive pad
because it may scratch metal surfaces.
1. Remove the bolts holding the Disc Sander
to the pallet, and use an assistant or a hoist
to slide the machine off the pallet.
2. Install the machine in a level, well-lighted
location. Secure it to the floor with good
quality anchor bolts (not provided).
3. Leave enough space around the work area
for loading and off-loading stock and
general maintenance.

Attaching Sanding Paper

NOTE: It is recommended that you first inspect
certain measurements at the disc/table area and
make any needed adjustments (squaring the
table, disc adjustment, etc.); this is easier to do
before the sanding paper is attached. See the
appropriate sections below.
1. Make sure the surface of the disc is clean
and free of grease or debris.
2. Lower the table all the way and push back
the guard (refer to Figure 5).
3. Remove the backing from the sanding paper
to expose the adhesive, and carefully apply
the sanding paper to the disc on the
machine. Press firmly, starting from the
center and working outward, to remove any
air bubbles.

Mounting the Brake Assembly

Attach the brake assembly as shown in Figure
1, using the two socket head cap screws, lock
washers, and flat washers which are pre-
installed on the machine. Use a 6mm hex key to
tighten.
