  • Page 7: Unpacking

    Shipping Contents Note 1: Some parts are inside a box in the cabinet. Note 2: Models DDS-225 and DDS-237 Drum Sanders come from the factory with the first set of abrasive strips installed with 80 grit sandpaper on the front drum and 100 grit on the rear drum.
  • Page 8: Assembly

    The machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury. A power plug is not provided with the DDS-225 or DDS-237 Dual Drum Sander. You may either connect the proper UL/CSA listed plug or “hardwire”...
  • Page 9: Abrasive Paper Installation

    Note: If the wedge sticks, use a flat head screwdriver as leverage to free it. 3. Cut a length of the Ready-To-Cut abrasive strip (12' for the DDS-225, 16' 5" for the DDS-237). This will be enough to cover one drum.
  • Page 10: Adjustments

    Note: It is important that the dial setting be identical at both ends of the drum. 4. Tighten the locking levers (Fig. 8) by rotating clockwise, before operating the sander. Note: The locking levers are spring loaded – you can move the handle to any position by pulling out on the lever, rotating it on the hub, then releasing.
  • Page 11: Pressure Rollers

    1/16”. A limit plate (Fig. 11) is mounted to the front of the sander. If the table has been set too high, the workpiece will contact this plate and a limit switch will shut off the conveyor table. If this happens, re- position the table and restart the machine.

    4. Insert a tool, such as a hex wrench or screwdriver, through the hole on top of the leadscrew (Fig 13) at that corner of the table that is lowest. 5. Turn the leadscrew clockwise to raise the table. 6. When the adjustment is complete, install the chain over the four sprockets, and over the chain tensioner roller.
  • Page 13: Conveyor Belt

    Conveyor Belt Conveyor belt tension and tracking adjustments may occasionally be necessary during break-in and normal operation to compensate for belt stretching. Adjust the tension of the conveyor belt by turning the knobs (Fig. 15) clockwise to increase tension, counterclockwise to decrease tension.
  • Page 14: Pulley Alignment

    Pulley Alignment The drum and motor pulleys must be in line so that the belts are straight. To check this: Place a straight edge, such as a metal ruler, against the flat sides of the motor pulley and a drum pulley (Fig. 18). If the straight edge does not lie flush on the flat sides of the pulleys, loosen the set screw on the motor pulley (Fig.
  • Page 15: Maintenance

    Use a good quality gear oil. After every 2,500 hours, completely drain and refill gearbox. Operations Basic Operation The basic operating procedure for the DDS-225 is as follows: Set depth of cut. Start drums. Start conveyor and select feed rate.
  • Page 16: Multiple-Piece Sanding Runs

    Then progressively work toward finer grits. This means if you are using two different grits on your DDS-225 dual drum sander, the coarser grit should always be placed on the front drum.
  • Page 17 results, never skip more than one grit grade when progressing through a sanding sequence. For fine work, such as furniture, try not to skip any grit grades during the sanding process. In general, premium quality abrasives will produce a better finish with a less noticeable scratch pattern.
