Closed Stand Assembly (Optional) Mount the belt rack to the stand by inserting the 90° bend through the stand and securing the rack in place with a hex cap bolt, and a flat washer. Sander Assembly Machine is heavy; use care when lifting out of the shipping carton and moving to a final location. Stand or bench must be stable enough to support weight of machine. 1. Move the sander to a workbench or one of JET’s optional stands. Bolt the unit firmly to hold in place.
Adjustments Sanding Belt Table Adjustment Always disconnect the sander from the power source before servicing or making any adjustments. Failure to comply may cause serious injury. 1. Place a square on the sanding belt table with one edge along the graphite pad, or sanding belt (Figure 4). 2. If the table is not square to the belt adjust the table by loosening the two locking handles. Adjust to the square position and tighten handles. 3. Place a combination square (A, Fig.
Horizontal Sanding Workstop 1. Loosen the socket head cap screw (A, Fig. 7) so that the sanding belt can be rotated to the horizontal position. 2. Rotate the sander until the stop (B, Fig. 7) contacts the sander base. Tighten the socket head cap screw. 3. When the sanding belt is used in the horizontal position, the table may be used as a workstop, as shown in Figure 7. Figure 7 Sanding Belt Replacement 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source. 2. Remove the handle (A, Fig. 8). 3.
Belt Tracking Adjustment 1. Connect the machine to the power source. One time quickly turn the machine “ON” and “OFF”. This will allow you to view the belt’s tendency to run down the middle, to the right, or to the left. The belt should run centered on the sanding drums. Do not let the belt run off the drum to the right or left. The belt will tear when it contacts parts of the machine. 2. Disconnect the machine from the power source. Move the tension handle (A, Fig. 10) to the “Loosen” position.
4. If the miter slot is not parallel, loosen the two socket head cap screws (A, Fig. 13) and adjust for parallel. Tighten the two screws when the adjustment is complete. 5. Always maintain a gap of approximately 1/16” between the table edge and disc. Once the table is square and parallel to the disc adjust the 90° stop. Loosen hex nut (B, Fig. 13) and tighten the set screw (C, Fig. 13) until it contacts the trunnion. Tighten hex nut. 6.
Dust Collection 1. Hook the sander to a dust collector using a 4” diameter hose and clamp (A, Fig. 16). JET offers a wide variety of hoses, adapters and dust collectors. 2. Loosen the wing nut (B, Fig. 16) and pull the gate (C, Fig. 16) open to allow air suction to the sanding belt. Push the gate closed to shut off air suction. Tighten the wing nut. 3. Push the gate (D, Fig. 16) down to shut off air suction to the disc. Lift the gate to open the air suction to the disc.
Troubleshooting Trouble Probable Cause Remedy Sander unplugged from wall, or motor. Check all plug connections. Fuse blown, or circuit breaker tripped. Replace fuse, or reset circuit breaker. Make sure supply circuit matches amperage rating on motor plate. Cord damaged. Replace cord. Extension cord too light or too long. Replace with adequate size and length cord. Low current. Contact a qualified electrician. Machine vibrates excessively Stand on uneven floor.
