the tension lever up and to the right out of the top
catch, then use moderate force to push it down and

sanding drum.

sanding drum, then position it on the upper roller so
that it is just past the left oscillation disc, as shown

The conveyor feed rate dial (see =`^li\)') adjusts the
feed rate of the conveyor from 5 to 17 feet per minute
(FPM). The correct speed for your operation depends on
the type of stock you are sanding (e.g., hardwood vs. soft-
wood), the depth of cut, and the stage of finish desired.
As a general rule, a slower feed rate will sand the surface
smoother, but runs the risk of burning the wood. A higher
feed rate will remove material faster, but runs the risk of
overloading the motor (refer to
8dg\iX^\CfX[D\k\ion
GX^\)) for more information on sander work load). Use
trial-and-error to determine the correct feed rate for your
operation.
