INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
Bow Sander
The flexible fi fiberglass beam on this bow sander keeps a cloth-backed
sandpaper belt tensioned between two handles for sanding curved surfaces
without risk of creating a fl at spot. The 16″ bow sander can be used with the
included 2″ × 36″ sandpaper belt; for the 10″ version, the belt will need to
be cut in half.
- If you are using the 16″ bow sander with the 36″ sandpaper belt provided, flatten the belt so that there are two folds set 18″ apart. If you choose to use sandpaper from a roll, cut a 24″ length and make two folds, 18″ apart and approximately 2″ to 3″ from each cut end.
- For the 10″ bow sander, cut an 18″ length of sandpaper and make two folds, 12″ apart and approximately 2″ to 3″ from each cut end.
- Insert a pin into one of the folded ends of the sandpaper, then slide this assembly into one handle, as shown in Figure 2. Repeat this step for the other handle. The sandpaper will lock into the handle when the bow sander is under tension.
- Note: When using a sandpaper strip, the abrasive side should face out and the cut ends should face in.
- Position the two handles as shown in Figure 3, such that the handle sockets are facing each other.
- Insert one end of the beam into one of the handle sockets, and then flex the beam to insert the other end into the other handle socket.
- To increase the tension, use a shorter length of sandpaper. To reduce it, use a longer strip of sandpaper.
- Flex the beam to disengage it from the handles and remove the sandpaper.
