1.Disconnect the electrical power to the machine to prevent accidental start-ups.

2.Remove the top cover, side guard and belt as outlined in section 7.1, Belt replacement.

3.Remove the table by unscrewing the locking handling and lifting the complete table assembly, from the machine.

4.If you are replacing the platen, remove the three screws that hold it to its mount -- then install the new platen and replace the mounting screws finger tight.

5.If you are only adjusting the platen, loosen the three mounting screws to allow adjustment.

6.Using a straight edge as shown in Figure 22, adjust the platen height until it is 1/32 inch higher than the crown of both the drive and idler drums.

7.Tighten the platen adjustment screws.

8.Reinstall the table and belt.

9.Check and adjust, if necessary, the tracking of the belt according to instructions in section 7.1, Belt replacement.

9.0Electrical connections

Caution: JET sanders are available in a wide variety of electrical configurations to meet the needs of the purchaser with respect to power available and compliance with electrical codes. Each machine is tested at the factory for operation before shipment and the power cord is tagged with the power requirements for the machine, as shipped. HOWEVER, before attempting any electrical hookup, you should be certain:

1.The electrical characteristics of the service branch match the requirements of the motor.

2.The service branch is equipped with wires of the required gauge or size.

3.The branch circuit intended for the machine is protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker with rated amperage just slightly greater than the full load current of the motor.
