manual BEFORE
To complete a typical sanding operation, the
operator does the following:
1. Examines workpiece to verify it is suitable for
sanding and to determine which sanding belt
grit size to use.
2.
Verifies workpiece has necessary outfeed
clearance and support. If workpiece is wider
than conveyor table, operator supports
workpiece full width. If workpiece is overly
long and difficult to handle, operator uses a
roller support stand to assist with feeding.
3.
Adjusts table height to approximate workpiece
thickness.
4.
Puts on required safety glasses and
respirator, and ensures dust collection is
connected to dust port.
Turns motor ON.
5.
6. Feeds workpiece into sander by placing front
end on infeed side of conveyor table and
supporting back end until workpiece engages
with pressure rollers.
Note: During initial pass with a new workpiece,
operator adjusts table height as necessary
so workpiece only makes light contact with
sanding belt and does not overload sander.
7. Receives workpiece from outfeed side of
conveyor table. If workpiece is wider than
conveyor table, operator rotates workpiece
180° and feeds workpiece back through
sander.
8.
Raises height of conveyor table a small
amount (typically
handwheel), then repeats the feeding pro-
cess of workpiece through sander.
9.
Changes sandpaper to a finer grit, as
needed.
10. Repeats Steps 8–11 as needed, turns sander
OFF, and disconnects it from power.
