sanding drum (4).
Note: Do not use a sanding drum with the 1/2" sanding sleeve.
3. Select the throat plate (3) that provides the smallest clearance between the sanding sleeve (5)
and the opening in the throat plate.
4. Place the throat plate (3) over the spindle (1), and fit it into the opening in the table.
5. Place the sanding drum (4) over the spindle.
6. Slide the sanding sleeve (5) over the sanding drum (4).
7. Place the upper spindle washer (6) over the spindle (1).
• Use the large washer with the 3", 2", and 1 1/2" sanding drums.
• Use the medium washer with the 1" and 3/4" sanding drums.
• Use the small washer with the 1/2" sanding sleeve.
8. Place the hex nut (7) on the spindle (1). Tighten the hex nut only enough to expand the rubber
