ADJUSTING THE FEED RATE (FIG. 15)
The feed rate is the speed that the conveyor belt
travels to deliver the workpiece through the sanding
drum. Setting the feed rate too fast may overload
the motor, while setting the feed rate too slow may
burn the surface of the workpiece. In general, a
wider or harder workpiece and finer grit sandpaper
will require a slower feed rate.
Rotate the feed rate dial (Fig. 15 - 1) to adjust the
conveyor belt feed rate. Rotating the feed rate dial
WARNING:
Do not attempt to plug in or operate your tool until the entire operator’s manual
has been read and understood. Make sure that the machine is assembled and setup properly.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury and damage to the tool.

Damage to your eyes and lungs could result from using this machine without
proper protective gear. Always wear safety glasses and a respirator when operating this
machine.

clockwise increases the feed rate and rotating it clockwise decreases the feed rate. For the best
result, test on a scrap piece of wood of similar material and adjust the feed rate accordingly.
MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
Your drum sander is equipped with an overload protector that shuts down the machine when it is
overloaded to protect the motor. The machine can overload when the depth of cut is too much or
the feed rate is too high. When an overload happens, wait for the motor to cool down. Press the red
circuit breaker on the box above the motor to reset. Reduce the depth of cut and feed rate, then try
again.
WARNING:
This machine creates a lot of dust. Inhaling said dust on a regular basis can
cause permanent respiratory illness. Minimize your exposure by wearing a respirator and
using a dust collector. If you do not use some method of dust extraction or collection, the
motor could overheat and fail. Failure to use some method of dust extraction or collection will
void the warranty.
