Operation
Exercise caution! Never force the material into the sander. You will become familiar with the sander’s features from
practice and use. If possible, practice sanding with a scrap piece of wood.
adJusting table angle
1. If working table is to be used at an angle, make sure to install the angle core board (with the oblong-shaped
opening) before sanding.
2. Loosen dial knob (#32) and adjust working table to the desired angle using the numbers on the rotating plate
(#31) as a guide.
3. Tighten dial knob securely so that the working table will not move during operation.
sanding
1. Turn sander on.
2. Let the motor build to its full speed, then gradually feed material against sanding sleeve. Do not let the material
contact sanding sleeve before turning on sander and allowing it to develop full speed.
Feed directiOn
When sanding, the sanding sleeve rotates counterclockwise. Therefore, feed the material against the sanding
sleeve from right to left
.
When fed from right to left, the rotation of the sanding sleeve sands against the material.
If fed in the opposite direction, the rotation forces of the spinning sanding sleeve will tend to throw or bounce the
material away from the sanding sleeve. This could cause loss of control of the material.
dust cOllectiOn capability
A standard 2-1/4” dust collect cover (#40) has been provided to make dustless sanding possible. The dust collection
port is located under the working top on the rear side of the sander. The pickup adapter end of a vacuum hose (not
included) will fit inside the dust collect cover.
Even with a dust collection system, it is necessary to periodically clean sanding dust from the core board and big
washer areas. Sanding dust buildup in this area may cause the core board surface to rise above the working table
surface.
Maintenance
cleaning
: Regularly clean the work surface with dry brush or clean cloth. Clean sawdust accumulations from core
board, big washers and rotating axle after each use.
lubricatiOn
: No lubrication is required. All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of
high grade lubricant for the life of the machine under normal operating conditions.
pOWer cOrd
: Inspect the power cord periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized technician.
replaceMent parts
: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the
warranty.
