OPERATION
FIG. 21
Always ensure the sander is
unplugged prior to attempting any assembly,
installation or changing of parts and accessories.
BELT SANDING
1. Depending on what type of sanding that you
will be doing, set the Sanding Belt Table to the
proper angle from 45° to 90° with a protractor, or
other angle measuring tool or pre-cut sample.
2. Once the table has been set for the correct
sanding angle, and all fasteners are secure, the
machine can be plugged in for operation.
3. Use the Miter Gauge (#110) for added control
of the workpiece during sanding. The miter gauge
can also be set to various degree angles for main-
taining accurate angles when sanding small or
multiple parts.
4. Do not force the workpiece into the sanding
belt. Sand using light pressue, letting the sanding
abrasives time to do their work!
5. Move your workpiece slightly left and right on
the belt. This will help prevent resin or debris from
building up on one area of the belt, and also helps
to prevent burning of the sanded surface from
excessive abrasive-action heat build-up.
6. The Platen (#30) supports the back of the
sanding belt and offers a flat surface to sand or
sharpen against. It should be positioned so it is
almost touching the back of the sanding belt.
7. To adjust the platen, loosen the hex Screw
(#27) at the rear of the platen. FIG. 20.
8. The platen can also be removed for contour
sanding or polishing.

SANDING BELT TRACKING
1. Belt tracking on the center of the drive wheels
is pre-set at the factory. If an adjustment need to
be made, the sander must be turned on.
2. Slowly turn the Belt Tracking Knob (#5) to
correct the tracking of the belt - left or right as
needed - so that the belt finally rides on the center
of the top drive wheel (#23). FIG. 21.
