Read and understand the entire contents of this manual before attempting set-up or operation! Failure to comply may cause serious injury. 6.0 Setup and assembly Open boxes and check for shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Do not discard any shipping material until the Drum Sander is assembled and running properly. Figure 6-1: box #1 (main unit) Compare the contents of your boxes with the following parts list to make sure all parts are intact.
Figure 6-3: Assembly 7. 6.3 Assembling stand Level the stand using the leveling feet. Tighten the hex nuts against the leg flange. (Refer to Figure 6-3. If further clarification is needed, consult parts breakdown at back of this manual. 6.4 Mounting sander to stand 1. Assemble legs (F) to outside of Short Rails (D) using carriage bolts (J) and flanged lock nuts (K). Finger tighten only. 1. 2. Assemble Long Rail (E) on inside of legs and on top of Short Rails (D). Finger tighten only.
5. 6. 6.6 Dust collection Position sander atop stand so that the four threaded holes of base align with holes in the stand rails (Figure 6). Dust collection is mandatory for a safe work environment and extended abrasive life. The JWDS-1632/1836 is equipped with a 4-inch dust collection port. Secure a 4-inch dust collection hose to the port with a hose clamp (Figure 6-5), and connect to a high volume dust collector (minimum 400 CFM). Note: Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for this purpose.
6. Release inboard take-up lever to secure strip. All abrasive strips will stretch over time as they are used, and may stretch enough to allow the take-up lever to reach its lowest position so that it cannot maintain tension on the strip. If this occurs, follow the above procedures to reset the take-up lever. Figure 6-7: abrasive trimming – JWDS-1836 ONLY 1. Press fastener lever (Figure 6-8) on outboard (left) end of drum, and insert tapered end of abrasive through slit in fastener, as shown.
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipmentgrounding conductor to a live terminal.
one side of conveyor. If it drifts, tighten or loosen take-up screw. Note: Adjust take-up screw only 1/4 turn at a time. Allow time for belt to react to adjustments before proceeding further. Try to avoid over adjustments, as this may affect belt tension. If tension is affected, if may become necessary to use both take-up screws to accomplish tensioning and tracking. 8.3.
6. If drum does not contact gauge equally on both ends of drum, alignment is needed. To align conveyor table with drum: 7. Loosen both table locking screws (B, Figure 83) Loosen both table locks before adjusting drum alignment. 8. 9. Turn knob (C) to raise or lower outboard end of table. Follow directional marks on label (+ raises, - lowers). Figure 8-4: tension adjustment screws Retighten table lock screws (B).
9.2 Switch safety key Do not start drum while in contact with stock. To prevent unauthorized use of sander, turn off main switch and pull out safety key (Figure 9-1). Store key in a safe place. Key must be reinserted to start sander. 3. Without changing drum height, turn on conveyor and run the stock out from under the drum. Start sanding drum and sand stock at that same position. 4. With the drum operating, feed stock under the drum from the infeed side and against the rotation of the drum.
thinnest piece and process all pieces to that same thickness in one session. Be aware that the sander will remove cups and crowns in the workpiece; consider this when measuring and processing stock to the same thickness. If the load on the drum motor increases, the SandSmart control will decrease the conveyor feed rate and will stop the conveyor under extreme conditions.
9.6.7 Stock feeding angle Some pieces, because of their dimensions, will need to be fed into the machine at a 90° angle (perpendicular to drum). However, even a slight offset angle of stock will provide for more effective stock removal. The optimum feeding angle for stock removal is about 60°.
8. Set conveyor on motor side and slide conveyor belt off end of conveyor table. 9. Install new belt along with trackers (see sect. 11.0), and re-install conveyor table. Tension and track the new belt. 4. Pull out brush and inspect. Brush should be replaced if any of the following are discovered: • Brush has worn to about 1/2-inch long. • Signs of crumbling, burning or breaking. • End of brush is rough or pitted. • Abnormal coloration of spring • Broken lead in spring 5.
11.0 Tracker kit 8. Install second tracker opposite the first. Use both trackers unless the second one does not fit in conveyor or unless conveyor belt is damaged. 9. Turn conveyor table right-side up and reposition it onto sander. Re-attach three mounting screws and tighten. Caution: Be careful not to knock tracker(s) out of conveyor table when turning conveyor over. Trackers may break if allowed to fall. Stock No.: PM2244-213 Trackers dramatically reduce tracking adjustments of conveyor belts.
Note: Grits that are too fine can sometimes burnish the wood and leave a glossy surface which will not accept stains evenly. This will vary by type of wood. Oak, for example, is susceptible to burnishing because of its open pores. 12.0 Abrasives The abrasive material you choose will have a substantial effect on the performance of your sander. Variations in paper type, weight, coating and durability all contribute to achieving your desired finish. 12.
13.0 Troubleshooting JWDS-series Drum Sander Symptom Possible Cause Correction * Drum motor won’t start No incoming current. when switch is activated. Safety key missing from switch. Install safety key. Low voltage. Check power line for proper voltage. Open circuit in motor or loose connection. Switch malfunction. Inspect all lead connections on motor for loose or open connections. Replace switch. Drum motor will not start: Short circuit in line cord or plug. fuses blow or circuit breakers trip.
Symptom Sander burns wood. Board slips on conveyor belt. Possible Cause Correction * Abrasive strip is overlapped. Re-wrap abrasive strip. Abrasive is loaded. Clean abrasive. Depth of cut excessive for fine grit. Use coarser grit or reduce depth of cut. Feed rate too slow. Increase feed rate. Abrasive is worn. Replace abrasive. Tension rollers too high. Lower tension rollers. Excessive feed rate. Reduce feed rate. Dirty or worn conveyor belt. Replace conveyor belt. Ripples in sanded A.
