sanding belt is tracking correctly and is properly
tensioned.
4. Verifies that the platen is centered on the sanding
belt.

The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice
machine operator with a basic understanding of how
the machine is used during operation, so the machine
controls/components discussed later in this manual are
easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not
intended to be an instructional guide. To learn more
about specific operations, read this entire manual and
seek additional training from experienced machine
operators, and do additional research outside of this
manual by reading "how-to" books, trade magazines, or
websites.
Loose hair, cloth-
ing, or jewelry
could get caught
in machinery and
cause serious
personal injury.
Keep these items
away from moving
parts at all times
to reduce this risk.
