ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
MACHINE MOUNTING
For safe operation, the machine must be secured onto a flat, secure workbench or stand. The base of the ma-
chine has four 6 mm mounting holes. Place the sander on the mounting surface, and insert a pencil through
the mounting holes to mark the hole locations. Remove the sander and drill out the mounting holes. Then
align the sander base over the mounting holes and secure the machine using four mounting bolts, washers,
locking washers and hex nuts (mounting hardware not included). Securely tighten the hex nuts.
For temporary mounting, secure the sander to a mobile mounting board and use 2 large C-Clamps to secure
the mounting board to a solid surface.
TIP: Your spindle sander is compatible with the WEN 6588 or 6588T Multipurpose Planer Stand, available
at wenproducts.com. Forget measuring and drilling holes on your workbench. Simply mount your ma-
chine onto the stand with pre-drilled holes, and transport your machine around the workshop with ease
.
DUST COLLECTION
Fig. 2
WARNING: Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according to the instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Sanding operations are dusty and
can produce particles that are harmful to your
health. Always wear a dust mask and use an
adequate dust collection system.
To connect a dust collection system to the machine:
1. Fit a 1.5-inch dust hose (not included) over the dust port
and secure the hose in place with a hose clamp as needed.
2. Tug the hose to make sure the fitting is tight. A tight fit
is necessary for proper performance.
3. Connect the other end of the dust hose to the dust collection system of your choice. A dust port adapter
may be needed (not included), depending on the inlet size of your dust extractor. The dust port has an outer
diameter of 1.5 inches, and an inner diameter of 1.4 inches.
