A. SPINDLES
Spindle size should be based on needs of the
project. Straight or gently curved surfaces will
be best suited to the largest of the spindles.
Tighter, more-intricate workpieces will require
the smaller spindles. Avoid the temptation to
leave the same spindle on until its sanding
sleeve wears out. You'll get much more life
from each of your sanding spindles if they are
used only for specific jobs.

Spindle Cover
The Model G1071 comes equipped with a
wrench for spindle removal. It should be kept
close to the machine for easy access. The
Model G1071 features two spindle racks
which hold spindles in a handy location when
they are not in use. The spindles are held in
place on the racks by hex nuts.
To install sanding spindles on the Model
G1071:
1. Pick out the appropriate spindle and
remove it from the rack.
2. Drop the threaded end of the spindle into
the spindle hole. Make sure the hole
and the shaft are lightly greased.
3. Screw the spindle in by hand. Sanding
action will further tighten the spindle so it
is unnecessary to over tighten. Figure 2.
4. The spindle is now mounted.
To remove the sanding spindle:
1. Use your spindle wrench provided with
the machine to hold the jam nuts above
the spindle cover while loosening the
spindle retainer nut with another wrench.
2. Unscrew the sanding spindle and return it
to the storage rack.
B. LUBRICATION
Check the gear oil level using the dipstick
which is located at the front of the machine
just below the table. See Figure 7. This oil
level should indicate full before the intitial run
of the machine. See Maintenance Section for
more details on lubrication of the Spindle
Sander.
