5.
Press inboard take‐up lever (Figure 6‐9) and
insert trailing end of strip as far as it will go. If
necessary, trim tapered end of abrasive strip.
6.
Release inboard take‐up lever to secure strip.
All abrasive strips will stretch over time as they are
used, and may stretch enough to allow the take‐up
lever to reach its lowest position so that it cannot
maintain tension on the strip. If this occurs, follow the
above procedures to reset the take‐up lever.

Electrical connections
All electrical connections must be
done by a qualified electrician in compliance with all
local codes and ordinances. Failure to comply may
result in serious injury.
The Sander is rated at 230V power. The sander comes
with a plug designed for use on a circuit with a
grounded outlet.
It is recommended that the sander be connected to a
dedicated 16 amp circuit with circuit breaker or fuse.
If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use time
delay fuse marked “T”.
Local codes take precedence
over recommendations.

Adjustments
Disconnect sander from power
source before making adjustments.
8.1
Drum Height Control
Drum height and depth of cut are controlled by
height adjustment handle (see Figure 5‐1). Rotating
handle clockwise lowers drum, counter‐clockwise
raises it. One revolution of handle will move drum
approximately 1.6mm (or 1/4 turn = approx. 0.4mm),
as shown on the label below handle.
8.2
Depth scale
The depth scale indicates distance between bottom
of sanding drum and top of conveyor belt.
Adjustment is performed by “zeroing” the scale.
1.
Unplug sander from power source.
2.
With an abrasive strip on drum, lower drum to
where it touches top of conveyor belt.
3.
At this drum position, the depth scale pointer
should align with zero mark on scale. If it does
not, loosen two screws and raise or lower scale
until zero aligns with the pointer.
4.
Retighten screws.
Note:
Depending on desired accuracy, you may need
to repeat this process when installing different
abrasive grits.
8.3
Infeed/Outfeed Table Adjustment
(OPTIONAL)
The optional tables can be swung down to allow
easier access for abrasive wrapping or other
adjustments.
Loosen handles on each side, slide table away from
machine and then down. See Figure 8‐2.
