Always make sure the sander is disconnected from the power source before opening the drum cover and remo-
ving/installing sanding belts or adjusting the height of the rear drum.
3.
To access the sanding belts, unlock the drum co-
ver latch,
, and open the top cover. The sanding
belts are tightly wound around the drums and atta-
ched at both ends by spring loaded clamps ,
(Fig. 5)
4.
Remove the sanding belt from the rear drum. (See
section "Removing the sanding belts" on page 17).
5.
Place the two gauge blocks, one under each end
of the rear drum.
6.
Using the 6 MM T-Handle Allen wrench provided,
slowly turn the micro-adjustment screws located
at each end of the drums,
lower the drum ,
, until it barely touches the
gauge blocks. (Fig. 6)
7.
Remove the gauge blocks and reinstall the sand-
ing belt on the rear drum. (See section "Mounting
a new sanding belt" on page 18). The rear drum is
now set lower than the front drum by the thickness
of the sandpaper on the front drum.
8.
Given that the rear drum must be lower than the
front drum only by the depth of the grit on the pa-
per,
, (and not by the thickness of the paper in-
cluding the grit,
), turn the micro-adjustment
screws clockwise, approx. 1/8 of a turn as per the
indicator dials,
. This will raise the drum by the
fraction corresponding to the depth of the paper
without the grit,
. (Fig. 7)
Note: You will not get an optimal result if the rear
drum is not low enough. On the other hand, attempt-
ing to remove too much material in one single pass
may result in workpiece burn problems or in motor
overheating.
Do not use this sander as a thickness planer. Never attempt to remove more than the depth of the grit of the sand-
ing belts in any single pass. Too much friction will cause belts to overheat and wear prematurely, and, in extreme
cases, may cause burns in the workpiece.
