Introduction This manual is provided by JET covering the safe operation and maintenance procedures for a Model 1020 Plus Drum Sander. This manual contains instructions on installation, safety precautions, general operating procedures, maintenance instructions and parts breakdown. This machine has been designed and constructed to provide years of trouble free operation if used in accordance to instructions set forth in this manual.
Unpacking Separate all parts from the packing material. Check each part against the Contents of the Shipping Container and make certain that all items are accounted for before discarding any packing material. Report any damage to your distributor.
Installing the TrackersTM Trackers dramatically reduce tracking adjustments of the conveyor belt by guiding the belt towards the center of the rollers and by keeping the belt from running off the rollers. The Trackers are installed on the underside of the conveyor belt as follows: 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source. 2. Raise the sanding drum to its highest position (see Drum Height Control on page 11). 3. Remove the tension from the conveyor belt (Conveyor Belt Tension on page 11). 4.
Important: The adapter illustrated in Fig. B is for use only if you already have a properly grounded two-prong receptacle. If you are not sure that your outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician. Electrical Electrical Requirements When connecting the drum sander to the power source outlet, the outlet must be properly grounded to protect the operator from electrical shock. Before plugging into the power source, be sure that power switch is in the OFF position.
Controls On/Off Switch Before powering up the unit, make sure all of the tools used to assemble and adjust the unit are removed and accounted for. Make sure your hands, loose clothing and any other items that may get caught are safely away from the unit. The On/Off Switch (A, Fig. 4) is located on the front of the sander. To turn the sander on, pull the switch to the on position. To turn the sander off, push the switch to the off position.
Adjustments Drum Height Control Drum height is controlled by the height adjustment handle (A, Fig. 5). Turning the handwheel in a counterclockwise direction lowers the drum. Turning the height adjustment handwheel one revolution lowers the drum approximately 1/16”. Conveyor Belt Tension The conveyor belt is overtensioned at the factory for shipping purposes. Re-adjust before operation to prevent damage to the machine.
Drum Alignment The sanding drum comes preset from the factory. If a problem with the drum alignment occurs, follow the instructions listed below. Checking the Drum Alignment 1. Lift the knob (A, Fig. 6) to open the dust cover and remove the abrasive strip. If you are unsure how to do this, see the “Wrapping Abrasive Strips” section in this manual. 2. Using a metal straight edge, or ruler, as a thickness gauge (B, Fig. 6), insert the gauge between the drum and the conveyor bed on the outer end of the drum.
Wrapping Abrasive Strips Note: When using JET “Ready to Wrap” and “Ready to Cut” abrasives, not all of the steps below are necessary. You can use the original abrasive belt that came with the sander as a template for cutting your own strips. 1. Mark and cut a taper at one end of the roll, as shown in Figure 8. 2. Square off the end of the taper, as shown in Figure 8. Figure 9 Figure 8 3. Squeeze the fastener lever (A, Fig.
Using the TUF ToolTM The Tuf Tool (Figure 13) can also be used to hold the take-up fastener in place while you feed the sandpaper through the slot. 1. Clip the sandpaper into the outboard fastener. Wrap the drum, being careful not to overlap the windings. Hold the sandpaper over the inboard slot with the left hand. Figure 13 2. Hold the TUF Tool with the red end of the tool pointing away from you (Figure 14). Insert the hook into the hole in the end of the take-up lever of the fastener (Figure 14).
Connecting Sander to a Dust Collector Dust collection is necessary for all drum sanders. The JET 10-20 is equipped with a 4” dust collection port in the back of the dust cover, and is designed to be used with a standard dust collector as shown in Figure 17. JET offers a variety of Dust Collectors and Air Filtration Units that will work nicely with your new sander. Contact your local distributor for more information.
Selecting Abrasive Grits Abrasives The amount of stock to be removed is a major consideration when choosing the grit grade to start with. Grits of 24, 36, 50, 60 and 80 are primarily designed for stock removal. Grits of 24 and 36 will remove the most material in one pass, whether you are doing abrasive planing, cleaning up glued panels or flattening stock. Grits from 100 through 220 are primarily finishing grits designed to remove the scratch pattern from the previous grit used.
Stock Feeding Angle sanding just a few inches of width on the stiles. To prevent this problem, make sure that when using abrasives finer then 80 grit, the drum is in contact with the wood but can still be spun by hand. The optimum stock feeding angle, when sanding, is at a 60-degree angle. However, even a slight stock feeding angle will provide more effective stock removal, less loading of abrasives, longer abrasive life, potentially faster feed rates and reduced motor loads.
Conveyor Belt Replacement To replace the conveyor belt: 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source. 2. Raise the drum to its highest position using the handwheel (A, Fig. 19). 3. Remove the belt tension by loosening both take-up nuts (B, Fig. 19). 4. Unscrew the three screws (D, Fig. 19) that attach the conveyor to the bracket. 5. Unbolt the two hex head screws (C, Fig. 19) that hold the bracket to the bench or stand. Figure 19 6.
Troubleshooting Problem Conveyor belt does not move. Conveyor rollers run intermittently. Possible Cause Shaft coupler is not attached. Solution Attach the shaft coupler. Shaft coupling is loose. Align the shaft flats of the gear motor and the drive roller and tighten the shaft-coupling setscrews. Remove the slack in the strip. Abrasive strip comes Slack in abrasive strip on off drum. drum. Abrasive improperly wrapped. Abrasive strip is Strip caught on inside edge of loose.
