NOTICE
The directional arrow on back of the sanding
belt must be pointing in a counterclockwise
direction during installation. Failure to install
the sanding belt correctly could result in
damage to the sanding belt or the sander
itself. If your belt does not have arrows, it
is most likely unidirectional, so it will not
matter which direction it is installed.

Amp Load Meter
The amperage load meter (Figure 31) is used to
keep the machine from being overloaded during
planing/sanding operations.
As a general rule, always start with a small
load and work your way up. DO NOT work your
machine to its maximum load or where you can
hear the motor lose RPM; instead, make multiple
light passes or install a coarser grit sandpaper.
Amp load will be directly affected by many factors
such as feed rate, depth of cut, wood type, sand-
paper grit, and workpiece width. If the amp load is
in the red load range, the machine is overloaded
and motor damage may soon occur. Use the amp
load chart near the meter to keep the amp load in
the green SAFE range during operation.
NOTICE
DO NOT VOID WARRANTY! Keep amp draw
within GREEN load range shown on the
AMP LOAD CHART. If you operate machine
in RED load range motor damage may occur
and will not be covered under warranty.
