Unpacking; Assembly; Tools Needed; Mount Sander - Craftsman 351.225000 Operator's Manual

• Handle the workpiece correctly. Protect hands from possi-
ble injury.
• Turn machine off if it jams. Belt jams when it digs too
deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in the
work.)
• Support workpiece with miter gauge, belt platen or work
table.
• Maintain 1/16" m aximum clearance between table and sand-
ing belt or disc.
CAUTION: Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator
common sense and alertness at all times when tool is being
used.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate tool until it is com-
pletely assembled according to the instructions.
Refer to Figure 1.

must be filled with carrier. Check for completeness.
Immediately report missing parts to dealer.

MOUNT SANDER
Refer to Figure 2.
NOTE: Although compact, the sander is heavy. At least two
people are required to lift from carton.
Choose a suitable location to mount the sander. The sander
must be installed in a place with ample lighting and correct
power supply. To install sander:
• The sander must be bolted to a firm, level surface.
• Make sure there is plenty of room for moving the work-
piece. There must be enough room that neither operators
nor bystanders will have to stand in line with the wood
while using the tool. Allow room so that belt assembly can
be positioned horizontally.
• Sander can be installed on a workbench or a tool stand
using bolts, lock washers and hex nuts (not supplied).
• Figure 2 shows the base dimensions, mounting holes and
required space to allow for table assembly and belt
assembly in horizontal position.

• Loosen knob. Using a combination square, set the table
perpendicular to the disc, and secure in position. If
necessary, set pointer at 0°.
