OPERATIONS
Test Run
The purpose of a test run is to identify any unusual noises and vibrations, as well as to con- firm that the machine is performing as intended.
To test run the Model W1717, do these steps:
1.Make sure all guards are in place and the belt is tracked and tensioned properly.
2.Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the “OFF” position before connecting the machine to power.
3.Pull the power switch up to start the sander. Once the sander is running, listen for any unusual noises. The machine should run smoothly with little or no vibrations.
•If there are any unusual noises or vibra- tions, STOP the sander immediately by pushing the paddle switch down.
4.Unplug the sander and investigate the source of the noise or vibration. DO NOT make any adjustments to the sander while it is plugged in. The sander should not be run any further until the problems are correct- ed.
