Features and Terminology The illustration below shows the major components and features of the Dual Drum Sander. These are referenced throughout the manual and will help to familiarize you with the operation and functions of the machine. Figure 1 1. Front drum 12.
Setup and Assembly Unpacking Open boxes and check for shipping damage. Report damage immediately your distributor and shipping agent. Do not discard any shipping material until the Dual Drum Sander is assembled and running properly. Compare the contents of your boxes with the following parts list to make sure all parts are intact.
Stand assembly See Figure 4. 1. Position two stand sides (M) on the ground with the base down and with the openings toward the center. 2. Mount hinged bottom plate (L) to stand sides with four screws (N) and washers (O). Hand- tighten only at this time.

Grounding Instructions Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury. A power plug is not provided with this sander. You may either connect the proper UL/CSA listed plug or “hardwire”...
Belt Tension: To adjust conveyor belt tension, Adjustments first adjust take-up screw nut (A, Figure 15) using the attached wrench (B, Figure 15). Do this on Drum height control both sides of conveyor to obtain approximately equal tension on both sides of the belt when taut. The drum height and depth of cut are controlled Insufficient belt tension will cause slippage of by the height adjustment handle (see Figure 5).
Checking drum alignment This sander was shipped from the factory pre- adjusted with the drums aligned to the conveyor table. Unless the machine was stressed during shipment, only fine adjustment should be necessary. Minor alignment corrections can be done without relieving belt tension or adjusting the tension rollers, but should be done without any abrasive strips attached.
Figure 19 Tension roller alignment This dual drum sander provides spring tensioned infeed and outfeed rollers located immediately fore and aft of each sanding drum. The tension rollers place a downward pressure on pieces Figure 20 when sanded to prevent slippage on the feed conveyor.

use the rear drum alone, lower it to approximately 0.040” lower than front drum. Selecting feed rates Selecting the proper feed rate is essential to proper finish sanding. The variable feed rate control of the conveyor belt adjusts the load on the machine;...
hardwoods, using a shallower depth of cut and a faster feed rate will help minimize burn marks. Slightly angling the stock as it is fed into the machine may also help prevent burning the stock. Because of the wide range of variables, it is important to experiment with your specific conditions and make adjustments to achieve the optimum feed rate.
