Safety equipment: Adequate personal protective equipment, such as safety goggles, earplugs, and respiratory masks, should be provided to ensure the safety of operators. The designated work position for operators Machine operators should operate the machine from designated positions. Following the correct operating position ensures that the workpiece does not fly out and injure the operator when the machine's pressure rollers are not properly adjusted or when working with materials beyond the machine's capability.
Incorrect Positioning Demonstration For safety during operation, operators must not stand in the outfeed area. General safety instructions - Read the operating instructions before operating the machine. - Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Keep the floor free of tripping hazards and dirt.

5.0 Power Supply ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS Place the machine close to an available power outlet. Ensure that all electrical cables are shielded from foot traffic, handling of materials, moisture, chemical exposure, or any other potential hazards. Make certain that there is a way to easily disconnect the power.
Full-Load Current Rating The full-load current specification indicates the current consumption of the machine when operating at its full output power. In instances where the machine has multiple motors, the full-load current refers to the sum of the amperage drawn by the largest motor or the cumulative current from all motors and electrical devices that could be active simultaneously during standard operations.

Page 26
Connection Steps When opening the electrical enclosure door, be sure to turn off the main power supply and confirm that there is no power before connecting the power cord. Safety First: 1. Turn off the main power supply before starting any wiring work. 2.
Page 27
Final Check: 5. Ensure all connections are secure and there are no loose wires. 6. Close the electrical cabinet and secure it properly. 7. Make sure the emergency stop button on the control panel is released. 8. Turn on the main power supply and start the conveyor belt to check the conveyor belt direction.

emergency stop is functioning correctly. To reset the Emergency Stop, turn the red top until it pops up. 3. Press the Start Button, then the machine should now work again. Step 5: How to Verify Correct Wiring: Upon completing the wiring, activate the machine. Please first control the "conveyor belt".
8.0 CONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY The input air regulator regulates the air pressure that is supplied to the machine. After connecting the air compressor to the machine's air duct coupling, ensure that the pressure valve is adjusted to a value between 0.5 and 0.6 MPa. Set the oil cup to its minimum value.
9.0 ADJUSTMENT OF THE CONVEYOR BELT First, it's important to understand how to loosen and tighten the conveyor belt. This is controlled by turning the adjustment bolts clockwise and counterclockwise using a hex wrench. Note that when replacing a new conveyor belt, pay attention to the tension of the belt.
Page 31
On the other hand, since the microswitch that activates the cylinder is located near the control panel on the outfeed side, the adjustment bolt on the infeed side near the control panel should be slightly retracted more than the bolt on the opposite side.
Page 33
Explanation of Conveyor Belt Auto Tracking 1. Conveyor Belt Adjustment with Pneumatic Cylinder Operation (Extension): The adjustment of the conveyor belt must be coordinated with the operation of the pneumatic cylinder (extension phase). 2. Appropriate Tensioning of the Conveyor Belt: Adjust the tension of the conveyor belt appropriately.

12.0 Initiating Wire Brushing on Wood Surfaces Once the zero point has been accurately confirmed and the conveyor belt's auto- tracking is functioning properly, use a vernier scale to measure the thickness of the wood workpiece. Then, adjust the sanding head to the appropriate position by pressing the buttons to raise or lower it.
12.1 Recommended Usage of Steel brush and Abrasive Nylon brush When using a steel wire brush, it is recommended to set the sanding depth between 0.1mm and 0.3mm. The commonly used RPM range is between 400 and 800 RPM. To enhance the rustic grain on the wood surface, it is recommended to prioritize increasing the RPM before increasing the sanding depth.
12.2 How to replace the Steel brush and Abrasive Nylon brush Firstly, it is recommended to wear cut-resistant gloves. During the replacement process, your hands will come into contact with steel wire. Without gloves, there is a risk of injury from the steel wire. Step 1: Loosen the five outer cover screws.
Page 41
Step 2: Loosen the four screws. Step 3: Remove the bearing seat (by pulling it out directly). The fixed screws on the brush shaft locknut.
Page 42
Step 4: Loosen the fixed screws. Step 5: Pull out the brush shaft locknut. After removing the brush shaft locknut. Step 6: Lift the brush slightly upwards and pull it outwards to replace it.
13.0 Operation There is a danger to life in case of contact with live components. Switched-on electrical components can perform uncontrolled movements and lead to serious injuries. Disconnect the power plug before starting any adjustments on the machine. When the machine is powered on, adjustments should only be made through the human-machine interface to control the movement of the sanding head, the conveyor system, and the hold-down roller system.

The following recommendations should assist in processing: • The operator should have basic knowledge of this type of machine. • Material removal and surface quality are better when working in several passes at low infeed and higher feed rate. • The best surface finish can be obtained when grinding in the direction of the grain.
13.1 How to Set the Zero Point on the CANBS6003H Step 1: Firstly, ensure that the gap between the reader and the tape is around 1mm. And press the button to move the sanding head to the lowest point. (Because sensor calibration requires the reader to read a travel distance exceeding 120mm, moving the sanding head to the lowest position ensures that there is sufficient travel distance available when raising and moving the sanding head for sensor calibration.)
Page 46
Step 4: Next, press "menu/enter" again. When the screen displays , begin pressing the Brush's upward button to raise the head until the "GO" disappears and is replaced by numbers, it indicates completion. Note: The above steps constitute the sensor calibration process. The next step is to perform the origin(current value)...
14.0 Maintenance Maintenance Personnel Guidelines Notices for Maintenance Personnel: Routine Maintenance Only trained and authorized personnel should carry out routine maintenance tasks. Before conducting any special maintenance or replacing parts, please contact the distributor or relevant service center. Ensure that the main power source is turned off and verify that all work is performed while the machine is completely stationary, prior to any maintenance or repair activities.

Water needs to be removed on the left side, and oil needs to be filled on the right side. Water Conveyor wheel’s bearing require regular cleaning and lubrication. Bearing housing require regular cleaning and lubrication.
Page 50
Please note: The Magnetic Scale requires regular cleaning and must not come into contact with lubricating oil. Regular Lubrication of Dovetail Slide To ensure smooth and precise operation of the dovetail slide, it is essential to lubricate it regularly. Before lubrication, clean the dovetail slide to remove dust and old lubricant.
Page 51
Coupling Maintenance Regularly check the alignment and tighten any loose bolts. Ensure the lubricant is clean. Clean the coupling to remove dust and debris. Precautions for Maintenance Personnel 1. Power Isolation: Verify that the machine is de-energized before commencing any maintenance activity. 2.
