2. Remove any screws or blocks holding sander to
pallet. Carefully slide sander off pallet (NOTE:
There are internal blocks on the pallet securing
the sander – lift up on sander end to clear these
while sliding off pallet.)

5.5 Infeed and Outfeed Tables

1. Attach table brackets (C,D, Figure 2) to sander
base with M8
(HP1,HP2,HP3). Tighten screws with 6mm hex
wrench.
NOTE: Longer brackets (C) mount to infeed
side, shorter brackets (D) to outfeed side. Each
bracket has left and right version. See Figure 2
for proper orientation.
2. Place extension tables (B) onto table brackets
(C) and insert
(HP1,HP2,HP3). Note: Leave screws loose for

5.7 Dust Collection

Dust collection is mandatory for a safe work
environment and extended abrasive life. The
PM2244 is equipped with a 4-inch dust collection
port. Secure a 4-inch dust collection hose to the port
with a hose clamp (Figure 4), and connect to a high
volume dust collector (minimum 800 CFM). Note:
Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for this purpose.
Figure 4 (hose and clamp not included)

5.8 Installing Abrasives

Proper attachment of the abrasive strip to the drum
is critical to achieving top performance from your
drum sander.
An 80-grit, 3-inch wide abrasive strip is pre-installed
on the drum. Optional pre-cut abrasives of different
grits are also available; see sect. 10.0.
(TIP: If you are using an after-market abrasive, use
a new Powermatic-supplied abrasive as a template
to quickly cut a new strip. Alternatively, a diagram is
supplied in Figure 20 showing trim measurements.)
1. Press fastener lever (F, Figure 5) on outboard
(left) end of drum, and insert tapered end of
abrasive through slit in fastener, as shown.
Insert approximately 3-inches of abrasive strip
into fastener. Align tapered edge of abrasive
strip with left edge of drum.
2. Release fastener lever to secure end of strip.
3. Begin wrapping abrasive around drum. The
tapered edge of strip end should follow edge of
drum.
