Sanding Operation

To surface sand a workpiece:

1.Make sure the sander is turned OFF and the sanding drum is completely stopped.

2.Make sure that the correct sandpaper grit is properly installed on the drum.

3.Inspect the workpiece and make sure it is acceptable for the sanding operation (refer to Workpiece Inspection on Page 21 for details).

4.Place the workpiece flat on the conveyor belt and under the sanding drum.

5.Lower the sanding drum until it matches the greatest height of the workpiece.

Note: Make this adjustment so that the first passes will take off just the high spots of the workpiece.

6.Remove the workpiece from the conveyor belt, then turn the sander ON and adjust the conveyor feed rate so that it is correct for the operation.

7.Stand to the left of the conveyor belt to avoid the hazards of kickback, place it on the con- veyor belt at the correct angle, then allow the belt to feed it under the sanding drum.

Model G0716 (Mfg. Since 2/11)

8.When the sanding drum has complete con- trol of the workpiece, step to the rear of the sander, and maintain control and support of the workpiece as it leaves the sanding drum on its own.

9.Without changing the depth-of-cut setting, rotate the workpiece 180° horizontally and pass it through the sander again.

Note: If fine thickness dimensioning or main- taining the same finishes on both sides of the workpiece is required for the operation, flip the workpiece over, lower the sanding drum the correct amount, and repeat Steps 7–9. Return the workpiece to its original side before continuing with the next step.

10.Increase the depth of cut by the correct amount, then repeat Steps 7–10with pro- gressively finer grits until you have produced the desired results.

Note: Keep in mind that as the grit and desired finish change, you need to reduce the feed rate.

11.When the sanding operation is complete, turn the sander OFF.
