OPERATION MANUAL
5. OPERATION
This machine may perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual.
Many of these operations may be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the
necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any time you are experiencing
difficulties performing any operation, stop using the machine!
If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recommend that you read books, trade
articles, or seek training from an experienced operator before performing any unfamiliar
operations.
Above all, your safety should come first!
5.1 GRINDING TIPS
1. Allow the machine to reach its maximum revolutions before begining to use the linisher to
avoid overloading.
2. Hold the material firmly against stops or on the table before applying pressure on abrasive
belt.
3. Keep fingers and hands clear of the linishing belt while sanding.
4. NEVER attempt to sand small items or try to sharpen small metal items without a jig.
5. The workpiece will get hot as you continue to grind. Cool the workpiece frequently by
quenching in water or another approved solution.
6. Do not force the work into the sander.
5.2 BELT TRACKING
When first starting the linisher, the belt may not track
centrally on the contact wheel and the belt tracking may
need to be adjusted.
To adjust the belt tracking:
1. Turn the sander ON.
2. Making small adjustments, turn the belt tracking
adjustment knob clockwise to move the belt to the
left, or turn the knob counterclockwise to move the
belt to the right (Fig. 5.1)
3. Make sure the belt is not making contact with edge of
the body of the linisher and that it is centered on the
contact wheel.
