Test Run
Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation.
The test run consists of verifying the following:
1)The motors power up and run correctly, 2) the EMERGENCY STOP button safety feature works correctly, and 3) the conveyor switch disabling mechanism works correctly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 28.
If you cannot find a remedy, contact our Tech Support at (570)
To test run the machine:
1.Read and follow the safety instructions at the beginning of the manual, and make sure the machine is setup properly.
2.Clear away all tools and objects used during setup.
3.Connect a compressed air source to the air regulator, and set the air pressure dial at 57 PSI.
4.Confirm the sanding belt is installed, tensioned properly (refer to Sanding Belt Replacement on Page 20 for detailed instructions), and the sanding belt access door is closed and secured.
5.Connect the machine to the power source— the Power Light lamp should light.
6.Push the EMERGENCY STOP button in, then twist it clockwise so it pops out. When the button pops out, the switch is reset and ready for operation (see Figure 15).

7.Push the Sanding Motor ON button.
—When operating correctly, the machine runs smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.
—Investigate and correct strange or unusual noises or vibrations before operating the machine further. Always disconnect the machine from power when investigating or correcting potential problems.
Note: You will hear a metallic "thump" when the sanding belt changes oscillation direction. This noise is normal.
8.Press the EMERGENCY STOP button to stop the machine.
9.WITHOUT resetting the switch, press the Sanding Motor ON button. The machine should not start.
—If the machine does not start, the EMERGENCY STOP button safety feature is working correctly.
—If the machine does start (with the stop button pushed in), immediately disconnect power to the machine. The EMERGENCY STOP button safety feature is not working correctly. This safety feature must work properly before proceeding with the rest of the test run. Call Tech Support for help.
10.Reset the EMERGENCY STOP button and turn the sanding motor ON.
Note: The sanding motor must be ON before the conveyor can be started.
