TEST RUN
Once you have assembled your machine
completely, it is then time for a test run to
make sure that the machine works properly
and is ready for operation.
Make sure you have done belt tracking
adjustment before performing the test run
so that the belt does not come off the rollers
or jam against the sander during the test
run.
Remove all the tools and objects used for
the machine set up and installation before
the test run.
During the test run if there is any unusual
noise coming from the machine or the
machine vibrates excessively, stop the
machine immediately and disconnect the
cord from the power source. Investigate to
find out the problem with your machine.

WORK-PIECE INSPECTION
CT174 is designed to sand wood only. Do
not use this machine to sand metals, glass
or stone etc.
Before sanding, make sure to inspect the
work-piece for nails, staples, small pieces
of stone or metal and any other foreign
objects.
Sanding the work-piece with this kind of
objects can tear the sanding paper. For a
safe sanding always inspect your work-
piece carefully before cutting and wear eye
protection.
Some woods with excessive finish or glue
load up the sand paper and reduce its
usefulness. Use an abrasive cleaner to
clean the sanding paper.
DUST COLLECTION
CT174 features two 2-1/2” dust ports to
connect to a dust collector.
When connecting to a dust collector, use a
proper sized hose and make sure all the
connections are sealed tightly.
