for tool to tip over, slide, or walk on the supporting surface. Failure to secure
tool can result in serious personal injury.
SANDING DRUM DEFLECTION
Before beginning the sanding drum alignment procedures outlined in the
following section, ensure that minimal upward deflection of the sanding drum
occurs when sanding. The three primary causes of excessive sanding
deflection are:
1. Excessive depth of cut.
Decrease the depth of cut to minimize pressure
on the sanding drum assembly. Refer to the Introduction to Drum Sanding
section for hints regarding depth of cuts. (See Page10.)
2.
Loose Elevation Tension Screws.
Refer to Step 1 in the Drum
Alignment section for hints regarding depth of cuts. (See Page 10.)
