Instructions / Assembly

To increase gloss, or for a more lustrous surface shine as well as further improve
surface protection, you can apply Guinevere wax in one or more additional layers.
Each layer should be applied thinly and left to dry for a couple of days before the next
layer is applied. After each application, wax the surface with a brush sleeve when the
oil has dried and hardened a little. The oil paste dries relatively quickly and objects
can be used as soon as the surface feels dry.
The actual hardening time is about two weeks. During this period, the surface dries
gradually leaving a superior protective finish. The amount of layer differs depending on
the type of wood. On wood that is not too porous a third layer of the Guinevere oil paste
tends to settle as a film on the outside of the wood. Film formed surfaces should be
polished with Guinevere cloth sleeves after they have dried and hardened.

F.A.Q.
Q. What if my sanding bulb will not hold air or has a very slow leak?
A. Pump up the bulb, place it in water and find where the bubbles are coming from. If
they come from the top or bottom of the sanding bulb by the screw flange you do not
have your bulb sealed properly. Loosen the screw, reline the bulb and tighten. If the bub-
bles come from the bulb itself, you have a hole in it. Take the bulb off the shaft, turn the
bulb inside out and repair it with a bicycle patch. If the bubbles come from the top of the
stem where you pump air into the sanding bulb, you have trash in the valve. Take the
bulb and peel back the rubber valve inside, clean debris from under the rubber sleeve
and then reassemble.
Q. How do I get the Allen Key to loosen the bottom screw on the drum sanders?
A. Always clean out the Allen head screw on the 2” drum sander. This screw head gets
full of sawdust and prevents the Allen Key from getting a good “seat” in the socket. This
will eventually round out the socket, making it difficult to release the air from the sanding
bulb. You can blow the socket out with air, or use a large needle or dental pick to get
packed in sawdust out of socket.
Q. What if I stripped out the hex hole on the drum sanders trying to release air?
A. Take the screw off and cut a line in the middle of the screw top using a hacksaw or
small metal cutting blade. Cut just deep and wide enough for you to use a standard
screw driver to tighten and loosen the screw.
Q. How can I keep from pulling the motor off the work bench as I work?
A. Attach the Guinevere motor to a scrap piece of 3/4” thick plywood that is a little larger
than the base of the motor (about 6”
square). This will make it easy to secure the motor,
by clamping or screwing the plywood to your workbench.
Q. I misplace the sanders as I work; what’s a good method to store them?
A. Drill a few holes in the plywood that you have mounted the motor to and with a 1/4”
drill bit, drill holes to accommodate the sanding drums, chuck key and Allen Key.
Q. How can I stop the Flex Shaft from getting a bad bend at the motor as I work?
A. Attach the Guinevere motor to a scrap piece of 3/4” thick plywood that is the exact
size of the base (5” X 5-1/2”) Affix a 5” Lazy Susan bearing to the plywood attached to
the base
, and then apply a larger piece of 3/4”
thick plywood to the Lazy Susan bearing.
Once clamped to your workbench, the Guinevere system will swivel with you as
you work.
