Once the assembly is complete and the adjust- ments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. Make sure that your fin- ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there is a problem. The drum sander should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further. To avoid injury or damage to the machine, DO NOT attempt to make adjustments to the machine without turning it off and unplug- ging it from its power source.
If noises occur that cannot be found by visual inspection, feel free to contact our Service Department for help.
DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust any features of the machine while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all working parts have come to a rest before you do anything! Failure to do so could result in severe injury or dam- age to equipment.
DO NOT sand more than one board at a time. Minor variations in thickness can cause one board to be propelled by the rapidly spin- ning sanding drum and ejected from the machine. NEVER stand directly in front of the outfeed area of the machine. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.
Your new Model G1066/G1079 Drum Sander is a relatively simple piece of equipment to set up and run. Under most sanding conditions, a normal cut is no more than 1⁄64". This depth can be achieved by approximately 1⁄4 turn of the table height han- dle. Attempts to remove too much can cause jam- ming, wood burning, rapid paper wear or tearing, poor finish and belt slippage. We recommend that wide stock be sent through two to three times without adjusting the table height. Turn the stock 180° to ensure an even cut. The following is the correct

5.Check the sanded piece. Is the piece smooth? Mark a squiggly pencil line on a board and sand it to test for even sanding. Look for uniform removal of the line. If the line is not removed uniformly, refer to the adjustment section earlier in the instruction manual.
NOTICE
We strongly recommend sending wide stock through the sander two or three times without adjusting the height. This is an important method for preventing burning your wood or ruining sandpaper.
