adjustments,  while  ensuring  a  tight  enough  fit  to  limit  drum  deflection.  (If  the   
screws  are  too  loose,  the  drum  will  deflect  during  use,   causing  an  uneven   
sanding  surface.  If  the  screws  are  too  tight,  sanding  drum  height  adjustments   
will be difficult.)

2.  To  adjust  the  Elevation  Tension  Adjustment  Screws,  loosen  the  lock  nuts,  securing 
each screw in place. Loosen or tighten each screw, as required, in 1/4 turn increments to 
attain  the  desired  fit  and  smoothness.  Retighten  the  lock  nuts  to  secure  the  tension 
screws in position. 
 
3.  Check  the  sanding  drum  to  conveyor  table  alignment  by  first  removing  the  abrasive 
strip from the abrasive strip from the drum. The purpose of this adjustment is to achieve 
equal distances at point A and point B which will ensure that the drum is parallel to the 
feed table and provide uniform sanding. (See Figures 8.)
