REPLACING THE CONVEYOR BELT
If the conveyor belt becomes too worn, the workpiece will not be fed effectively. To replace the
conveyor belt, remove the guards at both ends of the sander, and remove the four fix screws at
the bottom of the feed table assembly. The feed table can then be removed so that the feed belt
can be replaced. (see figure below)
SANDING OPERATIONS
Start the dust collector before turning on the sander.
To start the machine, press the green '
ON ' button on the control box. Turn the key switch to start
the conveyor belt running. Turn the conveyor speed adjustment knob to the desired stock
feeding speed. To stop the machine, press the red '
OFF ' button on the control box.
Use the crank handle to set the sanding height to the desired thickness. If the thickness is not
known, place the piece part on the table under the sanding drums, and then raise the conveyor
table until the sanding drums reach the piece part. The thickness can be read on the depth
gauge located on the front left of the machine. When feeding the piece part, place it at the
center of the conveyor belt. There is a centering gauge on the infeed side of the machine frame
that indicates the center of the conveyor belt.
The maximum workpiece thickness acceptable for this machine is 5" (127mm). The minimum
workpiece thickness is 1/4" 6.35mm). Do not attempt to sand piece parts outside of these
specifications.
