DW4055 Integrated Sanding Frame
and Inversion Stand
WARNING: For your own safety, read the tool instruction manual
before using any accessory. Failure to heed these warnings may result
in personal injury and serious damage to the tool and the accessory.
When servicing this tool, use only identical replacement parts.
FOR USE ONLY WITH THE DW432/433 BELT SANDER
The inversion stand allows the belt sander to be used like a small
stationary sander. It is best when used to sand small pieces of material
that need to maintain a 90-degree edge and cannot easily be sanded
with a hand-held sander.
WARNING: BE SURE THE UNIT IS TURNED OFF AND NOT
ATTACHED TO A POWER SOURCE WHILE INSTALLING THE
SANDING FRAME OR INVERSION STAND. Before reconnecting the
tool, depress and release the trigger switch to ensure that the tool is off.
WARNING: AVOID CONTACTING THE ROTATING BELT ON THE
INVERSION STAND WITH FINGERS OR HANDS. HARSH ABRA-
SIONS COULD RESULT.
TO ATTACH THE SANDING FRAME TO THE BELT SANDER
1. Place the front handle in the top position (A) of the belt sander.
2. Use the hardware provided to attach the sanding frame brace to the
front of the belt sander. Tighten the knob (B) to secure the sander
into the sanding frame (Fig. 1).
3. Seat the tabs (C) on the back end of the sander onto the rod (D)
located on the sanding frame (Fig. 2).
4. Use the angle dial (E) to adjust the belt relative to the work locating
surface as shown in Figure 1.
TO ATTACH SUPPORT BRACE
CAUTION: Support brace must be attached to the inversion stand or
damage may occur.
NOTE: Two support braces are included. Use the appropriate brace
depending on orientation used.
1. Align the holes (L) in the support brace with the inside holes (M) on
the feet.
2. Use the hardware provided to attach the brace to the feet and
secure (Fig. 3).
TO CREATE THE INVERSION STAND
NOTE: The belt sander cannot be properly positioned on the stand with
the dust bag attached. The dust collection system is not operable when
the belt sander is in this mode.
1. Remove dust bag and close the dust collector valve (see tool man-
ual).
2. Use the hardware provided to attach the legs (F) to the sanding
frame to create the working orientation desired, vertical (Fig. 4) or
horizontal (Fig. 5).
3. Use the hardware provided to attach the fence (G) to the sanding
frame.
WARNING: Leave no more than 1/16" (2mm) between the sand-
ing belt and the fence. Pinching and possible injury could result dur-
ing use.
WARNING: Do not allow the fence to touch the sanding belt.
Resulting sparks may ignite dust particles.
4. For Horizontal Sanding Only:
Attach the guard (I) by loosening the wing nut (J) on the left side of
the fence (G). Place the guard between the wing nut and fence.
Rotate the guard into the slot on the frame (K). Tighten wing nut.
5. Clamp or screw the feet to a workbench or flat work surface for sta-
bility using the screw holes (H) in the feet.
6. Adjust the fence to the desired angle and lock in place with the wing
nuts provided.
7. Plug in the sander.
8. Depress the trigger and engage the lock button so the sander is
running.

9. When you are finished sanding, pull the trigger to disengage the
lock and stop the rotation of the belt.
WARNING: If the belt sander in the inversion stand is in the hori-
zontal position, be sure guard (I) is covering the space between the belt
and the rear of the housing as shown in Figure 5. Otherwise, serious
injury could result.
WARNING: If the belt sander in the inversion stand is in the
horizontal position, hold wood firmly during sanding. The belt may
pull the material away from you resulting in injury.
