Power Disc Sanding; Aligning Sanding Disc Table - Clarke CBS 355 Operating And Maintenance Instructions Manual

POWER DISC SANDER
1. Remove the saw blade.
2. Remove the sanding disc guard from the front
cover.
3. Fix the abrasive sanding disc in place.
4. Attach the support rod to the Sanding Table
with the two hex. socket head screws provided,
so that the end of the rod is approx. flush with
the end of the bracket, and mount the
assembly on to the bandsaw via. the hole
beneath the sanding disc.
Slacken off the table lock knob (at the back
of the bandsaw) if necessary, to allow the
support rod to be pushed in until the table is
approx. 2mm (1/16") from the sanding disc. Fully
tighten the table lock knob.
The sanding table is ribbed in the same way as the bandsaw work table, to keep saw dust below the
working level. The sanding table is also slotted for use with the mitre guide supplied with your bandsaw.
The sanding table can be tilted to 45
For best results in disk sanding, set the bandsaw at high speed.
Replacement sandpaper discs are available from your CLARKE dealer (See CONSUMABLES on page
19). They can be obtained in three grit sizes and are self adhesive so that no glue is required to fix them
to the aluminium disk.
IMPORTANT: When the sanding disc is not in use, ALWAYS replace the disk guard to avoid the possibility
of accidental contact.
