e)
Turn on the infeed belt conveyor by rotating the “Table Feed Knob” clockwise ¼ turn.
f)
Place stock onto the infeed table and guide it under the pressure rollers. Listen carefully to the
drum motor sound and reduce the infeed conveyor speed at the first indication of a slowing of
the drum by rotating the dial counter-clockwise 1/8
th
turn.
g)
As the work progresses, the infeed conveyor speed may be increased a small amount at a time if
there is no indication of strain. However, each thickness adjustment will necessitate repeating
the previous step.
h)
Observe the infeed belt position on the slider bed after each pass to insure that the infeed
conveyor belt is tracking straight. If it is moving left or right on the slider bed, suspend
operations and consult the Supervisor on Duty. Failure to have the tracking problem corrected
will damage and make useless the conveyor belt (Cost: $40.00).
i)
Where stock being surfaced is 9” or less in width, run it at an angle through the machine to cause
even wear across the drum belt.
j)
Periodically clean the drum belt using an abrasive cleaning stick.
k)
At the end of the work session, clean the drum abrasive, the conveyor belt, and blow dust from
the two motors and the drives
