TEST RUN 

 

Once you have assembled the machine it is 
then time to do a test run and see that the 
machine powers up and runs properly. 
 
All the tools and objects used for 
assembling the machine should be 
removed and cleared away during test run. 
 
During the test run make sure the ON/OFF 
button and all the safety features on the 
machine are working properly. 
 
Connect the machine to the correct power 
source. Stand to the side of the grinding 
wheel and start the machine. During the 
test run if there is any unusual noise or 
vibration, disconnect the machine from the 
power source immediately. Check all the 
parts you have assembled, once again and 
try to find out the problem. 
 
 

 
BELT SANDER PLATEN 

 

The platen is a steel support plate that is 
positioned behind the sanding belt, rising 
from the table level to a point several 
inches above the table surface. Platen 
provides support to the work when sanding 
and it should be adjusted so that it is almost 
touching the back of the sanding belt. 
 
To adjust the platen: 
 
Make sure the switch is in the OFF position 
and the cord is disconnected from the 
power source. 
 
Loosen the lever securing the table and 
remove it to access the hex screws. 
 
 
 

 

 
Loosen the two hex screws located under 
the table, securing the platen to the sander 
frame. 
 
Adjust the platen so that it is almost 
touching the back of the belt and re-tighten 
the screws. See figure-10.

SQUARING THE TABLES 

 

A better result can be provided when the 
table is at 90° with the belt/disc. 
 
To square the table: 
 
Make sure the switch is in the OFF position 
and the cord is disconnected from the 
power sources. 
 
Loosen the lock knobs/lever securing the 
table to the machine and place a square on 
the table as shown in figure-11 and figure-
12. 
 
Adjust the table so that it is square with the 
belt/disc and tighten the knobs.
