Fact this is one of those tools that Once you have it you realize that you Could have done many other things with It so once you have one around you'll Find more and more uses for it real Quickly this table comes with it as well As the angle gauge here as well as this Little table goes up here on the top We'll install that here in one moment You got a simple power switch here we're Not plugged in so we can stay safe there And we got the safety switch so we can Pull that out and kind of lock the tool And the off position if we need to some Adjustment here where we can adjust and Trim the belt or true the belt and and Again we'll go over some different Things in a moment but pretty much Everything you see here in the Allen Wrench 2 is what you get with this kit We also have a dust Port here in the Back and let's get an overall Measurement of this tool by the way this Is a four inch by 36 inch belt very Common belt size so you can find those Belts and if you you know mainly work With metal you can get some better metal Sanding belts if you will to put on here If you work with wood you may want to Stick with some whatever brand you like To use you should be able to find a 4×36 Belt that's not going to be a problem as Well as a six inch disc again we know That's very very common and that's just

Going to stick on with adhesive that's Just an aluminum plate there so again This is all very common stuff it's not Going to be any industrially standard Stuff or I'm sorry it's not going to be Any proprietary stuff that is just a Skill you're going to be able to run the Accessories that you want to run on here Or run the sanding materials that you Want to run on here to your likings so Again four inch by 36 inch belt six inch Disc here overall of the tool about 18 Inches long A Little Less and just short Of 11 inches about 10 and a half inches Tall and then as far as the width of the Tool let's get back here a little bit Wider right there so about a little more Than eight inches wide so not a huge Tool at all doesn't take off a lot of Floor space or desk space or workbench Space and then one more measurement Let's get that dust Port here in the Back internal is going to be Looks like two and eight probably No two and a quarter two and a quarter Internal and two and three eighths External So your vacuum hoses you'll know what Adapters to get or maybe it'll plug Right in we'll hook up a dust extractor Or a vacuum here in a few moments as Well this table here very simple to go On the dowel pin is going to go right Here and then the the bolt is going to

Go through there and it's just a little Thumb screw And as you can see right here you can Actually adjust this table to the angle You want it's not the most sturdy in the World but again It's just kind of doing some simple Tasks here and what I like to do is When I'm initially setting this up is Typically I want this Square sometimes I May put it at an angle to get some type Of you know specific profile but I'll Just throw my square up there and know Okay There we go there's There's 90. Set that up and then I'm pretty happy With that And then this here you know obviously Your markings are right here on the Actual tool Put that on there and adjust that Wherever you need to Now this top here is going to serve a Couple of purposes number one is going To act as a guide it's going to keep Things from kind of sliding off the back Which is very helpful in some Circumstances as well as going to keep Any pinch areas like right here from Your fingers getting down in there as Well I always like to make sure that I have Less than an eighth inch of Gap there

You really Don't want any pinch areas there When you're sanding things but then Again you don't want that either Although it will self-clearance I Promise you it's kind of what it does So it would probably be absolutely fine After a few seconds but I'll just loosen That up I could probably take that out put it in My Vise and bend it a little bit it's Sticking up a little higher there but I Will be fine with that Now this is a four and a half amp motor And turns I believe 3600 RPM I'm not Sure what the feet per minute is on the Belt but again this is kind of a Beginner novice slash you know Um just kind of value oriented sander so I'm not real particular on all the Features other than it just needs to Work So let's go ahead and plug this in okay I've got it plugged in I'm going to do a Couple of things here let me turn it Just a bit and you'll see we'll turn This on stay clear of it By the way word of advice make sure that Your disc this comes with the disc Already stuck to it make sure it's on There really well because it will like To spin that like a Frisbee and throw it Across the shop if it's not so make sure It's stuck really well and then we're
