ADJUSTMENTS Warning: Turn off the machine and disconnect from the power supply before doing any adjustments. 1. Table Adjustment The height of the conveyor table can be adjusted by turning the hand wheel. Each full turn of the hand wheel raises the conveyor table 2mm. Maximum depth for most sanding conditions is 0.5mm (1/4 turn=0.3mm).

2. Tension & tracking conveyor belt The conveyor belt will stretch when new and will eventually need to be tensioned. This is most obvious if the conveyor belt starts slipping on the rollers. When you tension the conveyor belt, focus on adjusting the tensioning bolts in even increments. Adjusting one side more than the other will cause tracking problems。...
3. Feed rate adjustment The potentiometer allows you to increase the feed rate from 2-12FPM. The correct speed to use depends on the type of stock you are using (hardwood vs. softwood) and the stage of finish with that workpiece As a general rule, a slower feed rate will sand the surface smoother, but runs the risk of burning the wood;...
OPERATION To complete a typical sanding operation, the operator does the following: 1. Examine the workpiece to verify it is suitable for sanding and to determine which sanding belt grit size to use. 2. Verify the workpieces out-feed clearance and support. If workpiece is wider than conveyor table, operator supports workpieces full width.
DO NOT sand boards less than 6" long or less than 1/8" thick to prevent damage to the workpiece and the drum sander. When sanding workpieces with irregular surfaces, such as cabinet doors, take very light sanding passes to prevent gouges. When the drum moves from sanding a wide surface to sanding a narrow surface, the load on the motor will be reduced and the drum will speed up causing a gouge.

To replace conveyor belt: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER! Loosen the roller lock bolts.
Machine care Usually check the condition of the power supply cords and replace them if they are broken, or internal wires are showing. Use a brush and a shop vacuum to remove chips and other debris from the machine. ...
