SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
The purpose of this overview is to provide the
novice machine operator with a basic understand-
ing of how the machine is used during operation,
so the machine controls/components discussed
later in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual, seek additional training from experienced
machine operators, and do additional research
outside of this manual by reading "how-to" books,
trade magazines, or websites.
To reduce your risk of
serious injury, read this
entire
using machine.
To reduce risk of eye injury from flying
chips or lung damage from breathing dust,
always wear safety glasses and a respirator
when operating this machine.
Keep hair, clothing, and
jewelry away from mov-
ing parts at all times.
Entanglement can result
in death, amputation, or
severe crushing injuries!
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
Examines workpiece to verify it is suitable for
1.
sanding and to determine which sandpaper
grit size to use.

manual
BEFORE
Verifies workpiece has necessary outfeed
2.
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.
Ensures mobile base is disengaged and all
3.
(4) rubber feet are firmly on floor.
Adjusts table height to approximate workpiece
4.
thickness.
Puts on required safety glasses and
5.
respirator, and ensures dust collection is
connected to dust port.
Starts dust collection system, then turns
6.
motor ON. Waits for sanding drum to reach
full speed.
Feeds workpiece into sander by placing front
7.
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
sandpaper and does not overload sander.
Receives workpiece from outfeed side of
8.
conveyor table. If workpiece is wider than
conveyor table, operator rotates workpiece
180° and feeds workpiece back through
sander.
Raises height of conveyor table a small
9.
amount (typically
handwheel), then repeats feeding workpiece
through sander.
10. Changes sandpaper to a finer grit, as needed.
11. Repeats Steps 7–10 as needed, turns sander
OFF, and disconnects it from power.
