Test Run After Wiring
On the
1.Connect machine to power source and press the start button (A, Figure 8).
2.The sanding belt should move left to right, as viewed from the front of the machine. If the sanding belt movement is incorrect, press the stop button (B, Figure 8) and disconnect machine from power.
3.Switch any two of the three wires at "R,S,T".
4.Reconnect machine to power source.
Converting to 460 Volt
Refer to the diagrams on pages 31 and 32 for connecting the motor leads for 460 volt power. Also convert to a 460V switch. If using a plug, it must be a proper UL/CSA listed 460 volt plug. The edge sander must comply with all local and national codes after being wired.
If
Extension cords
An extension cord is not recommended for this machine, but if one is necessary, make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine’s motor plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Use the chart in Figure 9 as a general guide in choosing the correct size cord. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Adjustments
Main Table Positioning
The main table can be raised or lowered to suit your workpiece, and is designed on a special balance mount so that smooth adjustment is achieved by a simple push or pull on the table.
To adjust, loosen the locking handles (A, Figure
10)and move the table to desired position by hand, then tighten locking handles (A, Figure
10).
If the table is in low position, it may spring up suddenly when the locking handles are loosened.
