Checking/Adjusting
Pressure Rollers
The pressure rollers have been adjusted at the fac-
tory and should not require routine maintenance.
Ideally, the pressure rollers should be positioned
slightly lower than the sanding drum. However,
we recommend verifying this setting. If the pres-
sure rollers are incorrectly adjusted, you can end
up with burned sanding belts, streaking, and poor
workpiece results.
