5. Transport and start up
5.1 Transport and installation
The machine is designed to operate in
closed rooms and must be bolted on a
firm and levelled table or on the
original machine stand (optional
accessory).
5.2 Assembly
If you notice transport damage while
unpacking, notify your supplier
immediately. Do not operate the
machine!
Dispose of the packing in an
environmentally friendly manner.
Clean all rust protected surfaces with
a mild solvent.
For packing reasons the machine is
not completely assembled.
Attach the handwheel (A, Fig 2) to the
height adjustment screw and tighten.
Fig 2
Attach the knob (1, Fig1) to the height
adjustment handle.
Install the conveyor belt trackers (Fig
3 and 4) on the bottom of the power
feed. They dramatically reduce belt
tracking adjustments.
Fig 3
Fig 4
Install the sanding paper (see chapter
7.1).
Lower the sanding drum until it
touches the sanding bed.
Loosen screw (B, Fig 5) and zero the
indicator (C) in regards to the height
scale.

Mounting to optional machine
stand (Article No.: 608004)
Assemble the machine stand (align
stand to be leveled and tighten all
bolts).
To mount the drum sander to the
machine stand, the foot plate (A, Fig
6) must face to the outside as shown.
Fig 6
Use the four bolts and washers
supplied in the hardware bag and bolt
together form underneath.
(avoid twisting of the sander base as
this will effect conveyor belt tracking).
5.3 Mains connection
Mains connection and any extension
cords used must comply with
applicable regulations.
The mains voltage must comply with
the information on the machine
licence plate.
The mains connection must have a 16
A surge-proof fuse.
Only use power cords marked
H07RN-F
Connections and repairs to the
electrical equipment may only be
carried out by qualified electricians.
In case of machine overload the motor
overload cut-off will react.
After appr.2 min of cooling the
overload cut off can be reset.
Attention: The machine will start
when you reset the overload push
button.
5.4 Dust connection
Before initial operation, the machine
must be connected to a dust extractor.
The suction should switch on
automatically when the sander is
switched on.
The flow rate on the 100mm suction
port must be 20m/sec.
Flexible hoses must be of non-
flammable quality, and must be
connected to the machine ground
system.
5.5 Starting operation
You can start the sanding drum with
the green on button on the control
box. The red button on the control box
stops the motor.
The federate control knob starts the
conveyor and selects the feed rate
from 0 to 100% (0 – 3 m/min)
The height adjustment handle raises
or lowers the sanding drum to the
selected depth of cut.
6. Machine operation
Correct operating position:
To feed the workpiece into the
machine, position yourselves offset to
one side of the feed opening.
Workpiece handling:
Feed stock from the infeed side and
against the rotation of the drum.
It will then be automatically fed
through the machine.
