CAUTION
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING MACHINE
BELT CHANGING
- Use lever #1 to release belt tension. Pull lever to compress spring,
remove and replace sanding belt. Push lever back to tension sanding belt.
BELT TRACKING
- Use tracking hex to track or “center” the sanding belt rotate sanding belt
by hand to be sure of sanding belt centering. When sanding belt remains centered on the steel
platen
#27
tracking is complete.
Connect AC
power and
“jog” on/off switch
to be sure
sanding belt stays in the center of the platen and is tracked correctly.
CAUTION: New
sanding
belts may not track consistently until run or used several times.
PLATEN:
Steel plate or “platen” is behind the sanding belt. It will wear over time and can be
flipped over to use a new surface area. Remove cap screws on the platen and flip for new
surface area.
WORK TABLE: Item #29
. Always keep work table wiin1/8” of the sanding belt. Too large
of a gap will allow work pieces and fingers to get pinched between the belt and platen.
CAUTION: DO NOT WEAR GLOVES!!!!
MAINTENANCE: Always disconnect power before servicing machine.
Keep machine
clean. Flip or rotate platen when impressions wear into it. No grease is required. All bearings
sealed for life of the bearing.
TROUBLING SHOOTING:
Basic machine needs very little maintenance other than tracking
the sanding belt. If sanding belt does not stay tracked typically the drive pulley
(#23)
has lost
it’s “crown”. The drive pulley is tapered down from the center out to each edge slightly. This
makes the sanding belt stay in the center of “tracked”. If drive pulley lost it’s “crown” you will
need to replace the drive pulley.
