OPERATIONS STEP-BY-STEP
1.
Set the height of the rear drum (see section: “Adjusting the height of the rear drum” on page 12.)
2.
Place the workpiece on the conveyor belt.
3.
Set the height of the conveyor table. (see section: “Raising/Lowering the Conveyor Table” on page 11.)
4.
Remove the workpiece from the conveyor belt.
5.
Turn on your dust collector.
6.
Press the green "ON" button on the control box to start the sanding drum motor.
7.
Insert the safety key into the conveyor belt switch.
8.
Set the feed speed to minimum before starting the conveyor belt, then lift the switch up to start the conveyor
motor. Gradually increase the speed , until you reach the desired feeding speed.
9.
Place the workpiece on the center of the conveyor belt and pass the board once.
10.
Step to the rear of the machine and pick up the workpiece on the out feed.
Note: Consider using a proper support on the out feed for workpieces longer than 4'.
11.
Pass the workpiece once again.
12.
Inspect and slowly run your hand over your workpiece to determine whether or not further passes are required.
Tip: For better workpiece finish quality, make shallower passes with the conveyor table height adjusted so you
just start hearing the contact noise.
13.
If needed, pass the workpiece again, raising the table not more than 1/8 of a turn at a time. Repeat until
desired finish quality is achieved.
Note: To avoid overworking the motor, creating a potential circuit overload, or damaging the sanding drums, do not
force the workpiece against or into the drums.
TO STOP THE MACHINE
1.
Press the red "OFF" button, on the control box to stop the rotation of the drums.
2.
Push the red switch to the "OFF” position to stop the conveyor belt.
3.
Remove the key switch. This will prevent unauthorized use of the machine.
4.
Turn your dust collector off.
Always turn off the sander BEFORE turning off the dust collector.
Do not use this sander as a thickness planer. Never attempt to remove more than the depth of the grit of the sand-
ing belts in any single pass. Too much friction will cause belts to overheat and wear prematurely, and, in extreme
cases, may cause burns in the workpiece.
Always turn on the dust collector BEFORE starting the sander.
Keep hands away from the rotating drums and conveyor belt. Do not force the workpiece towards the sanding
drums, let the conveyor belt feed the workpieces.
To reduce the risk of damage to the sander or the workpiece, as well as a potential for personal injury, after initial
set-up as well as before each use, make sure that everything is securely installed and that all fasteners and mo-
ving parts on this sander are locked in place before starting the machine.
