tion and disconnect the machine from the

cuit (hard-wired), set the wall panel circuit breaker or
main circuit interrupter to the off position.

2.

(on top and bottom of the 

control box front cover) then remove the front cover 
and press the blue reset button 

.

3.

Reinstall the control box cover.

SWITCH OFF

TO AVOID UNEXPECTED OR UNINTENTIONAL START-UP BE CERTAIN THAT THE POWER SWITCH HAS BEEN SET TO THE OFF POSITION
BEFORE RE-SETTING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

FRONT TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Adjusting the height of the table allows an even wearing
of the sanding belt surface by allowing you to use diffe-
rent sections of the belt depending on the height of the
workpiece. To raise or lower the table:

1.

Loosen the two lock knobs 

then turn the height 

adustment knob 

until the table is at the desired 

height.

2.

Tighten the two lock knobs to secure the table in posi-
tion.

Tip: To maximize belt usage when working with shorter work pieces, periodically adjust the table height to system-
atically make use of various portions of the belt. For example: a series of 2” tall workpieces can be separated into
3 smaller batches with each batch being sanded with the table set at different heights to use in sequence the lower,
middle or upper portion of the belt.
