OPERATION
Mandrel / Belt Selection and Installation
1. Before any notching can take place, the
proper mandrel must be chosen. The
material size is stamped or marked on each
mandrel’s end.
2. To install a Mandrel, first unplug the power
cord and open the main Lexan guard.
3. Loosen the belt tension handwheel (A) until
the belt is loose.
4. Grab the mandrel and lift it out of the bearing
saddles.
5. Find the desired mandrel and reinstall it the
same way, making sure the bearings are
fully seated in their respective saddles (B).
Note: It may be necessary to
clean any grinding debris from the saddles to
ensure an unobstructed fit for the bearings.
6. Retighten the belt tension hand wheel until the belt tension spring (C) is compressed to 1.25
”
(31.75mm). This is the proper tension for all belts.
7. Plug the machine in and start momentarily to check the tracking of the belt.
a. The belt should track right down the center of the mandrel. If the tracking is off, the
tracking screw (D) is located slightly behind and below the motor.
b. Adjust by loosening the lock nut and turning the adjuster until the correct tracking is
achieved. Care should be taken when tracking so the belt does not track off the
mandrel. Always know where the off switch is.
CAUTION:
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
WARNING:
BEFORE THE MAIN LEXAN GUARD IS OPENED, THE
POWER CORD MUST BE UNPLUGGED FROM ITS SOURCE.
