1.
Put the workpiece on the conveyor belt.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO SAND WORKPIECES THAT
ARE GREATER THAN 3-3/4" IN THICKNESS.

CHANGING FEED SPEED

The conveyor speed ranges from 6 to 20 FPM (Feet Per
minute).
The feed speed adjustment knob, A, is located on the
control box, on the right hand side of the machine.
-
Turn the knob clockwise, B. to increase the feed
rate.
-
Turn the knob counter-clockwise, C, to decrease
the feed rate.
Experiment with feed speeds based on the workpiece
material, depth of sanding as well as sanding belt grit
to find which settings work best for your needs. As a
general guideline however, for best results, more
aggressive sanding using lower grits or sanding wider boards should be done at slower speeds and sanding using
higher grits or sanding narrow boards can be done at higher speeds.
