OPERATION (CONTINUED)
Contour Sanding
Refer to Figure 6, page 7.
1. Belt platen can be removed for contour sanding. Remove belt
cover knobs and belt cover.
2. Remove socket head bolts and washers holding platen to belt
housing. Remove belt platen.
3. Replace belt cover and belt cover knobs. When contour
sanding is complete, replace belt platen. Position belt platen as
close to belt as possible so that platen does not contact belt.
Abrasive Belt Finishing
Refer to Figure 7, page 10.
1. Finishing flat surfaces: Hold workpiece firmly with both hands,
keep fingers away from abrasive belt.
Use work stop. Work stop is used to position and stabilize
work. Keep end butted against workstop and move work
evenly across abrasive belt. Use extra caution when finishing
very thin pieces.
For finishing long pieces: remove work stop. Apply only enough
pressure to allow abrasive belt to remove material.
2. Finishing curved edges: Finish outside curves on flat portion of
abrasive belt. Finish inside curves on drive wheel portion of
abrasive belt.
3. Finishing end grain: It is more convenient to finish ends of long
workpieces with abrasive belt in a vertical position.
Position table on belt side of sander. Lock position with socket
head bolt and washers. Move work evenly across abrasive
belt. Table may be tilted for beveled work.
Replacing Abrasive Disc
Refer to Figure 7, page 10.
1. Loosen and remove knobs.
2. Gently press down on disc table and slide out disc table.
3. Remove old abrasive disc by peeling it from aluminum disc.
Removing aluminum disc from motor shaft is not necessary.
4. Clean aluminum disc if necessary. Select proper abrasive disc
and apply to aluminum disc.
5. Additional aluminum discs are available.
6. Replace disc table.
Abrasive Disc Finishing
1. Abrasive disc sanding is well suited for finishing small end
surfaces and convex edges.
2. Move workpiece across down side (right) of face of
abrasive disc.
3. Abrasive disc moves fastest and removes more material at
outer edge.
4. For accuracy, use the miter gauge.
Using Miter Gauge
Refer to Figure 7, page 10.
1. The miter gauge is used on disc table. Use the miter gauge for
securing the work and holding the proper angle while sanding.
2. Adjust the angle by repositioning the protractor scale and
locking it into place with knob.
3. Check accuracy of miter gauge scale.
4. Use a combination square to adjust miter gauge square to face
of disc. Loosen screw and reposition indicator if necessary.
MAINTENANCE
Make certain that the unit is
disconnected from power source before
attempting to service or remove any component.
Cleaning
1. Keep machine and workshop clean. Do not allow sawdust to
accumulate on the belt and disc sander.
2. Keep the wheels clean. Dirt on wheels will cause poor tracking
and belt slippage.
3. Operate sander with dust collector to keep dust from
accumulating.
After sanding wood or non-metallic
material, always clean dust collector and
guards of sawdust before grinding metal. Sparks could
ignite debris and cause a fire.
4. Be certain motor is kept clean and is frequently vacuumed free
of dust.
5. Use soap and water to clean painted parts, rubber parts and
plastic guards.
Lubrication
1. The shielded ball bearings in this sander are permanently
lubricated at the factory. They require no further lubrication.
2. When operation seems stiff, a light coat of automobile-type
wax applied to the belt table and disc table will make it easier
to feed the work while finishing.
3. Do not apply wax to the belt platen. Belt could pick up wax and
deposit it on wheels causing belt to slip.
Keep Sander in Repair
1. If power cord is worn, cut or damaged, have it replaced
immediately.
2. Replace worn abrasives when needed.
3. Replace any damaged or missing parts. Use parts list to
order parts.
