555 is
OFF
.
2. Remove the Sanding Belt Guard.
3. Squeeze the belt pulleys toward each other, and remove the sanding
belt.
NOTE
: If a directional arrow is on the belt, make sure that, the arrow
points in the direction of belt travel.
4. Replace the Sanding Belt Guard.
5. Turn power back on.
Adjusting the Sander Angle
To adjust the sander angle to the bevel of the door simply turn the black knob on
the inside of the cutter carriage in or out until proper angle is attained.
Adjusting How Much the 555 Sands
The sanding belt tension determines the amount sanded. If the sanding belt is
loose, the sander will sand off more of the door edge. Tightening the sanding belt
decreases the amount sanded. Refer to the “Training the Sanding Belt” section for more
sanding belt adjusting information
The Sizer
Setting the Bevel
The cutter arbor housing and motor mount to a plate bolted to the 555 Sizer
carriage. The cutter plate pivots on one 1/2” bolt when the two bolts supporting the cutter
plate are loosened. Once the two bolts are loose turn the Jackscrew in or out until the 555
bevel is correct. Make a test cut
