Sanding Workpiece

Typically, no more than 0.5mm (approx. 164") of material is removed during each pass. Attempts to remove too much material can cause jamming, wood burning, rapid paper wear or tearing, poor finish, short motor life. Make sure that you mea- sure the workpiece thickness before and after every pass.

The following is the correct sanding operating procedure:

1.Put on safety glasses, a dust mask, and hearing protection!

2.Turn ON the dust collector.

3.On the initial pass, set the table so the sand- paper is 0.25" above the workpiece.

Note: This initial pass setting eliminates the chance of overloading the sander on unde- tected high points on the workpiece.

4.Continue to raise the table 0.0625" between each successive pass until the sander begins to sand the workpiece.

NOTICE

It may be necessary to send wide stock through the sander two or three times between table height adjustments. This reduces the likelihood of burning the wood if there is a high spot.

Platen Adjustment

Your sander is equipped with an adjustable felt platen and graphite pad for those extra sensitive sanding operations. The platen position allows for 3 basic types of sanding. These different posi- tions can be adjusted by rotating the height lever shown in Figure 18.

Using the platen:

For an initial heavy-sanding pass, the platen is raised above the level of the drums, and the table is adjusted to set sanding depth. The drums do all the work using #100 grit or coarser sandpaper, but you will have a rough finish.

For an intermediate-finishing pass, the platen is lowered so it is level with the drums, and the table is adjusted to set sanding depth. The best belt grit for this position is #100-#180.

For a final-sanding pass, do not adjust the table to adjust the sanding depth. The drums must touch the workpiece without doing any sanding. The platen should be lowered to 0.2 to 0.5 mm below the sanding drums. You can lower the platen up to 2 mm below the drums for short intervals, but streaking, burn marks, and prema- ture graphite/platen wear can occur if this setting is abused. The best belt grit for the final-sanding pass is #180 or finer.

Note: The platen scale is broken down in arbi- trary increments.
