Instructions / Assembly
Introduction
Congratulations! You have just purchased one of the finest sanding and polishing kits in
the world. The Guinevere
®
Flexible Finisher is a total system for final sanding, waxing
and polishing. Guinevere sanding sleeves are made of highly flexible, top quality abra-
sive cloths, ensuring an extremely long life for each sanding sleeve. They are excellent
for wood and may also be used to finish metal, bone, horn and other materials.
GUINEVERE PUTS FUN INTO FINISH WORK
For finishing and polishing, the cloth and brush sleeves not only do a fantastic job,
they greatly reduce labor when applying wax and buffing. Used correctly, Guinevere
will virtually eliminate hand sanding. By following these instructions you can easily
achieve an incredible finish not even possible with hand polishing. For more information,
view our entertaining DVD after reading these instructions.
TIP: For best results, you must gradually change the grit size of the sanding
sleeves - progressing from coarse to extra fine - in order to achieve a velvet
smooth surface on wood.

Air Pressure - The correct air pressure in a Guinevere inflatable sander is crucial for
optimum function. It is usually best to have as little air in the sanders as possible so
the sanding sleeves do not wander. Please note that a little extra air surge (one half to
one full thrust or pump) is used when inflating sanders for the very first time. The air
pressure in normal use is as low as 8 pounds per square inch (psi).
INFLATING AND DEFLATING THE SANDERS - Detailed instructions for inflating and
deflating the four different sanders are outlined below.
Inflating and Deflating Sanders
1. TO INFLATE: Firmly hand tighten the nut on the shaft of the sander, making sure
that the rubber bulb is centered under the large washer. Place sanding sleeve over bulb.
For the short and long sander, slide down with ends protruding equally at the top and
bottom. For the round sleeve, slide it down until the small rubber dimple on the tip of the
bulb projects through the hole in the top of the sanding sleeve. Insert the shaft of the
sander securely into the throat of Guinevere’s hand pump.
2. Hold the sander and pump in the same hand while pumping with the other hand
as shown. Pump with small thrusts. It is always best to have as little air in the sanders as
possible but enough so the sleeves don’t move. One–two thrusts should suffice (8 psi).
3. To deflate the round, short and long sanders squeeze the bulb firmly around the
circumference with thumb and index finger and unscrew the nut maximum one full turn.
While still squeezing the bulb, take hold of the shaft of the sander and wobble it back
and forth. This will allow the air to escape while preventing the bulb from popping out
over the washer. If it does pop out, take the nut off, pull the bulb off, remove the washer,
pull the bulb on over the metal rim of the sander again, and replace the washer and nut.

Drum Sander Part #11351
Use the Allen key at the top of the sander to tighten (before inflation) and untighten (to
deflate) the drum sander. All other instructions for sleeve fitment and inflation are the
same as above for the other sanders.
