1.Remove the four screws securing the emergency stop cover and remove the cover. See Figure 13. This will allow better inspection of the belt’s movement on the roller.
2.Turn on the conveyor belt.
3.Adjust tracking using the same adjustment screws that were used for tensioning in Figure 13.
4.If the conveyor belt is moving to the right side, turn the right screw clockwise. This will return the tracking toward the left.
5.If the conveyor belt is moving to the left side, turn the left screw clockwise. This will return the tracking toward the right.
6.A positioning wheel (Figure 14) has been provided on the right and left sides of the conveyor belt to limit the belt tracking. When adjusting the tracking, the conveyor belt should be moved until its edge just touches the positioning wheels.
7.Allow the sander to run for several minutes while observing the conveyor belt tracking and readjust if necessary.
8.Turn off the conveyor belt and
9.9Feed Rate
The feed rate is infinitely variable within the provided range, in order to meet the sanding requirements of a wide variety of materials. Selecting a proper feed rate is largely a matter of experience. In general, soft woods require a higher feed rate, while hard woods require a lower feed rate.
Change the feed rate only while the conveyor belt is running. Failure to comply may cause damage to the gearbox.
Adjust the feed rate with the selector knob on the worm gear reducer (Figure 15). Turn the selector knob clockwise to decrease the conveyor belt speed, counterclockwise to increase it.
9.10Pressure Bar Adjustment
The front and rear sets of pressure bars have been factory adjusted. This setting should, however, be checked before operating the sander.
The pressure bars should be parallel to the conveyor table with equal pressure on each end, and are set slightly below the level of the sanding belt.
