ADJUSTMENTS

Dust Scoop Gap

For this adjustment, you will adjust the dust scoops so they can efficiently focus dust collection system suction where the most dust is created as the workpiece travels through the drum sander. You will set the dust scoops above the bottom of the drums. See Figure 33.

Keep your drum sander unplugged during all assembly, maintenance, and adjustment tasks. Ignoring this warning can cause serious personal injury to you or others!

To adjust the dust scoop gap, do these steps:

1.Unplug the Double Drum Sander.

2.Unlatch and open the dust hood.

3.Insert two gauge blocks (two 30" two-by- fours) of equal height under the sanding drum and dust scoop. See Figure 35.

4.Raise the table until the rear drum just touches the gauge blocks.

5.Loosen the dust scoop mounting bolts and slide the scoop up or down until it is 1⁄32" above the gauge blocks. See Figure 34. You may have to bend the lip of the dust scoop to get the appropriate gap.

6.Tighten the dust scoop mounting bolts.

7.Repeat Steps 5 and 6 on all dust scoop ends.

8.Close the dust hood and latch it shut.
