ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS This Sander is rated for voltage and amperage appropriate to the area where it is sold. Confirm that the electrical specifications match your setup before use. Proper grounding is essential. Failure to properly ground the machine may result in electrical shock and injury to the operator or other personnel.
MOUNTING AND REPLACING SANDING BELT Removing the Sanding Belt Lift the upper guard and tilt it to the rear, in order to access the sanding drum. The sanding belt is fixed at either end of the drum by spring loaded clamps. To remove the sanding belt, push the right clamp forward and pull the tab of the sanding belt out of the right drum slot.
ADJUSTING THE CONVEYOR BELT TRACKING AND TENSION If the conveyor belt runs to the right or left during operation, or the conveyor belt tension is too loose or too tight, adjust it by turning the adjustment nuts on either side of the conveyor table. The conveyor belt should run at the center of the conveyor table, and should be tensioned so that there is good traction during stock feeding.
REPLACING THE CONVEYOR BELT If the conveyor belt becomes too worn, the workpiece will not be fed effectively. To replace the conveyor belt, remove the guards at both ends of the sander, and remove the four fix screws at the bottom of the feed table assembly. The feed table can then be removed so that the feed belt can be replaced.
