Assembly

To assemble your machine:

1.Slide the table over the sanding belt, then attach it to the machine base with the M8-1.25 x 25 hex bolt, 8mm external tooth washer, and the table lock lever, as shown in (Figure 5).

NOTICE

The table lock lever can be repositioned by pulling out on the handle and rotating the lever. This allows the lever to tighten when clearance is limited.

2.Adjust the table so that the gap between the sanding belt and the table is less than 1⁄16", and the table is perpendicular to the sanding belt, then tighten the table lock lever.

A large gap between the belt and table pres- ents a pinch point that could cause your fingers to be pulled into the machine. Make sure the gap between the sanding belt and the table is less than 1⁄16" to reduce the risk of personal injury.

Dust Collection

This sander creates wood dust while operat- ing. We recommend using the Model H3140 with an adequate dust collection system. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long-term respiratory ill- ness.

Required CFM at 2" Dust Port: 100 CFM

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,

(2)hose type and length between the dust col- lector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to calcu- late these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

To connect a dust collection hose:

1.Fit the 2" dust hose over the dust port, as shown in Figure 6, and secure in place with a hose clamp.

2.Tug the hose to make sure it does not come off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper performance.
