G1066Z Control Panel

Before plugging in the Model G1066Z familiarize yourself with the control panel.

The Model G1066Z control panel features a main power switch, separate on/off controls for the variable speed conveyor and the sanding drums, a variable speed adjustment dial and an amp load meter. Figure 17 points out each of these con- trols.

The main power switch features an important safety device that is very important to remember. A twist-and-pull design in the knob helps to avoid accidental starts; yet, in the event of an emer- gency, the knob can be pushed straight down to stop the machine.

Another important point to remember about the control panel is that the feed conveyor motor and the drum motor operate independently from each other.

The load meter and the variable speed dial are very important to the operation of the Model G1066Z. Please read the “Load Meter” and the “Variable Speed” instructions in this section before sanding any stock.
