to achieve parallel
alignment. Then tighten the four socket head screws.
To achieve parallel alignment on the inboard (right)
side of the machine, repeat steps 3 and 4, then adjust
the alignment if needed by loosening the 4 socket
head screws located along the outboard (left) side of
the conveyor and turning the height adjustment nut of
the conveyor.
CONNECTING DUST COLLECTORS
Dust collection is necessary for the SuperMax Tools 19-38 drum sander. The sander comes equipped with a 4”
diameter dust exhaust port at the top of the cover. Check to make sure that the minimum dust requirements are
sufficient.
To attach to your collection system, install 4” hose from your collector. The minimum recommended dust col-
lector capacities is 600 cfm. For best results, follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of your dust
collection equipment.
When connecting dust collectors straight pipe is preferred because it is the least restrictive for airflow. If straight
pipe is not possible Y’s and elbows are preferred because they are less restrictive to airflow than T’s.
NOTE: Some applications will require more dust collection than the recommended minimum.
POWER AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The SuperMax Tools 19-38 drum sander requires 110 V, single-phase 20 A service. After the dust collection sys-
tem is in place and the drum alignment is checked your machine should be ready to be powered up and operated.
