Extension Cords
Use proper extension cords. Make sure the cord
rating is suitable for the amperage of the
machine’s motor. 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. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Adjustments
Tilting the Belt Table
The belt table tilts from zero (horizontal) down to
45°.
1. Loosen the handle and adjust the table into
desired position.
2. Check the angle with a machinist’s
protractor or similar measuring device that
has the required angle. Figure 10 shows a
square being used to confirm the zero, or
horizontal, position. Place the square flat on
the table and against the belt. Push against
the belt until the square is against the
platen.
3. Make any adjustments to the table angle as
necessary until it is square with the belt.
4. Tighten the handle securely.
To avoid trapping the
workpiece or fingers between the table and
abrasive belt, the table edge should be
positioned a maximum of 1/16” from the
abrasive belt.
Tilting the Disc Table
The disc table tilts from zero (horizontal) down to
45°.
1. Loosen both handles and adjust the table
until the indicator lines up with the desired
angle on the scale. It is a good idea to
confirm this angle using your angle
measuring device placed flat upon the table
and against the abrasive disc.
2. Figure 11 shows a square being used to
confirm the zero, or horizontal position of the
disc table.
3. Make any necessary adjustments to the
table angle. If the table is square with the
disc but the angle indicator needs slight
adjustment, loosen the screw on the
indicator and shift the indicator as needed.
Re-tighten the screw.
