Emergency Stop
Plate
The emergency stop plate can help reduce the
amount of damage to internal components during
an emergency. Pushing the emergency stop plate
(see
Figure 36) causes the disc brake to stop
the motor, immediately halting all moving com-
ponents, including the sanding belt and conveyor
belt.

Emergency
Stop Plate
Keep sanding drum V-belts correctly
tensioned (refer to Page 53) to ensure
proper functionality of emergency stop
plate. Otherwise, pulleys can slip when
emergency stop brake is applied and not
immediately stop machine in the event of an
emergency!
Amp Load Meter
The amp load meter (see
Figure 35) is used to
keep the motor from being overloaded during
sanding operations. It should not be used as the
main method for controlling sanding belt mate-
rial removal rates—doing so can result in many
problems, including belts loading, burning, and
even breaking—because there are many different
variables that affect optimum removal rates and
these will affect the amp load in different ways.

Amp Load
Meter
As a general rule, always start with a small load
and work your way up. DO NOT work the machine
to its maximum load, or to where you can hear
the motor lose RPM; instead, make multiple light
passes or install a coarser grit sandpaper.
Keep amp draw within GREEN load range
shown on the AMP LOAD CHART. If you
operate machine in RED load range motor
damage may occur and will not be covered
under warranty.
Amp load is directly affected by many factors such
as feed rate, depth of cut, wood type, sandpaper
grit, and workpiece width. If the amp load is in
the red load range, the machine is overloaded
and motor damage may soon occur. Adjust the
table height handwheel accordingly to reduce the
load, and use the amp load chart near the meter
to keep the amp load in the green SAFE range
during operation.
