general operating instructions
1.
With the Throttle Lever (26A) in “OFF” (full up) position, attach the air supply
hose as suggested in number 3 of “Tool Set up” section on page 9 of this manual.
Do not hold the Throttle Lever (26A) down while connecting the air supply hose.
2.
Do not exceed the maximum air pressure of 90 PSI.
3.
This Jumbo Air Belt Sander requires two hand control at all times.
4.
Always test on scrap work piece before using the tool on the primary project.
5.
If the speed of the Belt Sander needs adjustment beyond the control of the
Throttle Lever (26A), turn off the Belt Sander, disconnect the air supply, and
adjust the maximum speed of the belt with the Speed Regulator (Slotted Cap
Screw) (27A). Turn it clockwise to slow the speed and counterclockwise to
increase. This action moves Valve Stem (24A) in and/or out allowing the Throttle
Lever (26A) only limited travel.
6.
Connect the air supply and turn on the Jumbo Air Belt Sander and test again on a
scrap work piece as in
number 4
of this section.
7.
Always work off the “return” side of the sanding belt. This will ensure superior
tracking and reduce down time of the tool.
8.
Always sand in the same direction as the grain of the wood to avoid scoring
across the grain.
9.
To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and disconnect its air supply after use.
Clean, then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
