Installing Platen
Install the platen into the sander as follows:
1.
Facing the front of the sander, open the left
hand access door with the included door
handle.
2.
Directly below the adjustment knob is a
slide housing for the platen. Locate the
slide housing and install the platen so that
the graphite pad is on the left-hand side.
Figure 9
shows the correct insertion of the
platen.
When the platen is inserted correctly, it must
be set even with the sanding belt rollers as fol-
lows:
1.
Lower the conveyor table down as far as it
will go, so that you have enough room to
work under the sanding belt rollers.
2.
Place a straightedge across the bottom of
both sanding belt rollers.
3.
Using the platen adjustment knob shown in
Figure 10
, position the platen so that it
barely touches the straightedge, and thus,
is even with both sanding belt rollers.
The platen at level position is an important ref-
erence point for future operations.
