Assembly
The table hand crank must be installed prior to use.
To install the hand crank:
1. Slide the hand crank onto the shaft in the table
base, as shown in Figure 2.
2. Use a 1/8
″
hex key to securely tighten the
setscrew in the hand crank.
Preliminary Adjustments
Prior to leaving the factory, the belt grinder was
checked and set for the correct adjustments.
However, all settings should be rechecked prior
to use, to be sure that nothing has changed during
shipping. These settings should also be checked
before each use, especially after any type of
maintenance work is performed, such as replacing
the grinding drum abrasive.
Before using the belt grinder, check the following:
1.
Drive belt tension
(Figure 3)
Make sure that the V-belt on the motor drive
pulley is tensioned against the grinding drum
pulley (it may necessary to remove the guard).
If it is too loose, it could slip during operation.
To adjust the belt tension, or when replacing a
worn belt, loosen the motor mounting bolts with a
1/2
″
wrench and slide the motor base away from
the grinding drum to tighten the belt, or towards
it to loosen it.
IMPORTANT:
Always be sure that the motor
base is straight after making any adjustments.
If it is not straight, excess belt wear could result.
