Bolting Oscillating Edge Belt/Spindle
Sander To Workbench
If sander is to be used in a permanent location, it should
be fastened securely to a firm supporting surface such as
a workbench, with either bolts or drywall screws.
Fastening with screws
1. Use 1/4" screws, washers, and nuts (not included).
The screw length should be 1-1/2" plus the thickness
of the workbench.
2. Locate and mark the holes where the sander is to be
mounted.
3. Drill (4) 3/8" diameter holes through workbench.
4. Place sander on workbench, aligning holes in base
with holes drilled in workbench.
5. Insert (4) 1/4" diameter screws and washers and
attach nuts securely.
Fastening with drywall screws
Drive (4) 2-1/2" long drywall screws through the holes in
the base and through the workbench. Do not over-
tighten the screws.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury from tool
movement, use either 1/4" diameter screws and
nuts or 2-1/2" long drywall screws.

An alternative method of mounting is to fasten the sander
to a mounting board. The board should be sufficient size
to avoid tipping while in use. Any good grade of plywood
or chipboard with a 3/4" thickness is recommended.
(Thinner chipboard can break.)
NOTE: For proper stability, holes must be countersunk so
screw heads are flush with the surface of supporting
board.
Supporting Oscillating Edge Belt/Spindle
Sander to Sawhorses
The sander has provisions for being supported by saw-
horses. The sawhorse can be built with the crosspiece
either vertical or horizontal. Make sure the sawhorses are
secure.
