  • Page 11 Kickback is typically defined as the high-speed expulsion of stock from the machine, which can cause serious personal injury to the operator or bystanders. Forcing or jamming the workpiece into the sander or against the sanding belt can cause it to kickback into the operator. Always use the correct depth of cut, then firmly hold the workpiece and ease it into the sander at the same feed rate as the conveyor.

We recommend connecting this machine to a dedi- cated circuit with a verified ground, using the circuit size given below. Never replace a circuit breaker with one of higher amperage without consulting a qualified electri- cian to ensure compliance with wiring codes.

    A steady supply of clean, dry air of 57–60 PSI (not to exceed 120 PSI) is required for the operation of the sanding belt oscillation system and pneumatic motor To avoid possible personal injury from brake. Without the correct supply of compressed air, the exploding compressed air components machine will not start.

    Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular opera- tion. The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The motors power up and run correctly, 2) the emergency stop button safety feature works correctly, 3) the conveyor ON/ OFF switch disabling key works correctly, and 4) the air pressure safety switch operates properly.

    Sanding Belt Dimensions ......19"W x 48"L There are many types of sanding belts to choose from. We recommend aluminum oxide for general workshop envi- ronments. The grit you choose will depend on the type of operation, the species of wood, and the stage of finishing. As a gen- eral guideline, refer to the chart below to help you select the right grit for your operation.

  • Page 23: Conveyor Feed Rate

    To release the tension on the sanding belt, move the tension lever up and to the right out of the top Catch catch, then use moderate force to push it down and under the bottom catch, as shown in Bottom Pull the sanding belt off the upper roller and the Catch sanding drum.

    Maximum Depth of Cut ....Approx. 0.016" ( ⁄ ") Elevation Handwheel The optimum depth of cut will vary based on the type of wood, conveyor feed rate, and sandpaper grit. Attempting to remove too much material can cause jamming, wood Safety Bar burning, rapid sanding belt wear or tearing, poor finish, or belt slippage.
  • Page 25 To prevent sanding "streaks" in the workpiece and ensure NOTICE an even finish, the sanding belt oscillates from side-to- side on the sanding drum during operation. This action is caused by the twisting motion of the upper sanding roller that causes the sanding belt to shift along the roller until it hits the oscillation disc at the end, which then causes the sanding belt to reverse direction to the other end.

  • Page 33: Gib Adjustment

    The gib is sandwiched between the stationary and moving surfaces of the sander assembly and the dovetail ways. The gib controls the accuracy of the sander assembly movement along these ways. A tight gib makes the move- ment more accurate but harder to move, and will lead to premature wear of the ways.
  • Page 34 The sanding drum and conveyor must be parallel to one another to obtain accurate sanding results. This setting is made at the factory and should not have to be made again. However, if it is necessary to adjust the sanding drum and conveyor parallel to each other, follow the pro- cedure below.
