The control panel offers these controls:

•Sanding Load Meter: Allows you to observe the amperage draw, which indicates the sanding load on the sander so you don’t overload the motor (25 amps is the maximum safe load limit).

NOTE: the load applied on the sander is a balance between conveyor feed rate, sanding drum pressure on the workpiece, grit of sandpaper used, and the species of wood being sanded.

•Emergency Stop Button: Allows you to turn the main power ON or OFF to the double drum sander, and shut down the machine in an emergency. Twist clockwise and pull to turn ON, and push to turn the sander OFF.

•Conveyor Speed Control Dial: Allows you to adjust the speed at which the feed conveyor pushes the workpiece into the sander from 0- 20 FPM.

•Sanding Drum Motor ON and OFF Buttons: Allows you to turn the sanding drums ON or OFF independently of the conveyor.

•Conveyor Motor ON and OFF Buttons: Allows you to turn the conveyor belt ON or OFF independently of the sanding drums.
