The pressure rollers have been set at the factory, but for safety, you should verify that they are set below the level of the sanding roller.
It is absolutely essential to keep the pres- sure rollers set below the level of the sand- ing roller. If the pressure rollers are even, or higher than the sanding roller, the wood WILL be propelled from the sander at a high rate of speed. This situation could cause serious
To check the pressure roller height:
1.DISCONNECT THE SANDER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!
2.Place a piece of scrap wood of uniform thickness across the table so it spans both the front and the rear pressure rollers at the same time.
3.With the air pressure connected and the sanding belt installed and tensioned, manu- ally raise the table and verify that the board touches both pressure rollers before it touch- es the sanding belt.
Note: If the board does not touch both pres- sure rollers before it touches the sanding belt, then the pressure rollers MUST be adjusted before operation. See "Pressure Rollers" on Page 32 for
Serious personal injury could result if the machine is connected to the power source during assembly or adjustment. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged, and all working parts have come to a complete stop before you attempt to assemble or adjust the machine!
Loose hair and cloth- ing could get caught in machinery causing serious personal inju- ry. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machinery.
Projectiles thrown from the machine could cause serious eye injury. Wear safety glasses during start up.

3.Make sure all tools or foreign objects have been removed from the conveyor surface, the top of the machine, and the inside of the machine.
