Assembly

This assembly section covers how to install the platen,

handwheel crank, air supply, ducting, and the sanding

belt.

Platen

1. Facing the front of the sander, open the left hand

access door with the included door handle.

2. Remove the door handle, and set it aside.

3. Turn the sanding head lock lever counterclockwise

and remove the lever and the steel spacer block.

4. Install the platen (Figure 3) so that the graphite

pad is on the left-hand side of the platen.

5. Reinstall the steel spacer block, the sanding head

lock lever, and turn the lever clockwise to lock the

headstock.

6. Lower the conveyor table down as far as it will go,

so that you have enough room to work under the

sanding belt rollers.

7. Place a straightedge across the bottom of both

sanding belt rollers.

8. Using the platen adjustment knob shown in Figure

4, position the platen so that it barely touches the

straightedge, and thus, is even with both sanding

belt rollers.

Handwheel Crank

1. Make sure that the jam nut is threaded completely

onto the handle screw.

2. Use a flat-head screwdriver to thread the handle

screw all the way into the handwheel as shown in

Figure 5.

3. Un-thread the handle screw 1⁄2 a turn to make the

plastic sleeve loose enough rotate freely.

4. Tighten the jam nut to lock the handle screw in

place.
