CHANGING FEED SPEED
The conveyor speed ranges from 3 to 20 Feet Per
minute (FPM).
The feed speed adjustment knob is located above the
conveyor motor switch.
•
Turn the knob counter-clockwise
to decrease
the feed rate.
• Turn the knob clockwise
to increase the feed
rate.
As a general guideline, more aggressive sanding
using lower grits or sanding wider boards should be
done at slower speeds and sanding using higher grits or sanding narrow boards can be done at higher speeds.
Results can vary widely depending on a variety of factors. Experiment with feed speeds based on the workpiece
material, board width, depth of sanding, grit selection as well as required finish results.

RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
The two pressure rollers
(front and rear) maintain the
workpiece on the conveyor belt, preventing it from lifting
up from the conveyor into the sanding head
.
Both pressure rollers must be set 1 mm below the drive
roller (with sanding belt installed)
. If the pressure
rollers are even with or higher than the drive roller, there
is a high risk of workpiece kickback which could lead to
serious personal injuries.
The 2 pressure rollers are factory set to provide ade-
quate amount of downward pressure to the workpiece.
However, to prevent the risk of a kickback, it is highly re-
commended that you make sure that the pressure
rollers have not become misaligned during shipping
and that both ends of each pressure rollers are set 1 mm
below the contact roller, before using the sander for the
first time.
Due to vibration, over time, the height of the pressure
rollers may need to be re-adjusted. Periodically verify
the height of the pressure rollers when performing rou-
tine maintenance on your sander
.
