Machine Set-Up
To set-up your machine follow this procedure:
1. Familiarize yourself with the machine and read all
danger, warning and caution statements. Make
sure all operators of this machine have read this
Owner's Manual. If they cannot read English,
have the manual explained fully before allowing
anyone to operate the sander.
2. Locate the power supply. The receptacle should
be compatible with the plug. The receptacle must
be grounded and must be fused (30 amp) to avoid
an electrical hazard.
3. Clip the dust bag to the elbow. See figure 5.
Cross the strings on the dust bag and draw tight
over the flare on the elbow. Wrap the string
around the elbow and secure.
4. Wind the power cord through the cable arm. See
figure 6. Keep the power cord out of path of
equipment.
5. Pull the draw latch forward to release the access
door to gain entry to the sanding chamber.
6. Rotate the release lever forward. See figure 7.
7. Install a new abrasive belt by sliding the abrasive
over the tension roller and contact wheel. See
figure 8. See table on page 12 for abrasive belt
selection.
8. Rotate the release lever clockwise to tighten the
abrasive belt.
9. Plug the pig-tailed power cord into the handle.
Twist the cord connection clockwise to lock.
10. Turn on the motor circuit breaker (switch) momen-
tarily.
11. Observe the belt tracking. Follow the procedures
outlined in the "Sander Adjustment Procedures"
on page 14 to correct the belt tracking. There is
also a label on the inside of the access door that
outlines the belt tracking adjustment.
