Woodstock W1709 instruction manual Setting Feed Speed, Using the Load Meter

Page 25

Setting Feed Speed

The feed belt motor offers speeds of 16.4, 23, and 32.8. Figure 24 points out the variable conveyor feed speed control knob.

To change the feed belt speed do these steps:

1.TURN-OFF and LOCK the master power switch so power cannot start your sander!

2.Remove the 6mm Allen screw in the center of the chain cover and remove the cover.

3.Use a 78" Allen wrench and loosen the two motor retaining bolts.

4.Pivot the motor upward and move the chain to the required set of sprockets.

5.Re-tension the motor, tighten bolts and reinstall the cover.

Using the Load Meter

NOTICE

Removing too much material from the workpiece during one pass slows the motor RPM to the point where the internal start windings engage and motor damage occurs. An indication of motor overloading is failed start capacitors, which may not be covered under warranty.

The load meter shown in Figure 25 is an important tool for determining sanding depth while you are feeding the workpiece. The load meter displays the amperage draw of the sanding motor, which is an indicator of how deep the sanding depth is.

Use this meter to maintain consistent sanding depths. Generally, the normal depth of cut is no more than 164" or 0.016" for a 20" wide board.
