MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS
Work Rest Adjustment
•
Loosen work rest handle (A) and adjust work rest
to desired angle. Minimize gap between edge of
work rest and abrasive belt; 1/16-inch or less.
•
Tighten work rest handle before operating.
Platen Adjustment
•
Loosen platen handle (B) and adjust platen so it is
parallel to back of abrasive belt and almost
touching the back of the abrasive belt.
Note:
The Work Rest and Platen
Handles are adjustable; pull handle straight out and
rotate it on the pin, then release. Make sure handle
reseats itself on the pin.
Abrasive Belt Tension
•
To de-tension abrasive belt, turn tension knob (C) counterclockwise and pull knob toward the
front (work area) of the grinder.
•
To tension, push knob toward the back (away from the work area)
. The pawl will “click” as it
engages each ratchet tooth. Tighten the belt until it is just taut. Do not over tension. A
moderate tension will provide faster cutting and longer belt life, as well as better tracking.
Note:
When belt grinder is not being used, de-tension the abrasive belt. This will
prolong the life of the belt, and reduce load on wheels, bearings and other components.
Abrasive Belt Tracking
The abrasive belt should remain centered upon the wheels during operation. If it tends to slide
off-center, adjust as follows:
•
Disconnect machine from power source and pull open side cover.
•
Turn the tracking wheel by hand and rotate tracking knob (D) left or right as the belt is
moving. Do this in small increments and allow time for belt to respond to changes.
WARNING:
Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on
the machine.
