Missing parts, if any, should be reported to your distributor.
Assembly Stand Assembly Referring to Figure 1: 1. Remove all container. contents from the shipping 2. Clean all rust protected surfaces with a mild solvent. Do not use paint or lacquer thinner, gasoline, or mineral spirits; these will damage painted surfaces. 3.

The hardware can be found in the bag with the rubber pads. 4.

Tilt sanding platen to the vertical position (C), which will look like D in Fig. 4; then push the lock handle (B) to lock the platen assembly in place. Note: Do not turn the lock handle. Turning or rotating the lock handle will change the tension of the locking assembly.
Drum Guard & Dust Port Referring to Figure 6: Mounting the Drum Guard & Dust Port (referred to below as drum guard) 1. Insert four M4x20 flat head screws (A) through the two hinges (B) of the drum guard (C). Then place two rectangular spacers (D) on the threaded ends of the screws. Note: Orient the spacers so the slightly rounded side sits against the hinge and the edge farther from the screws lines up with the edge of the hinge. 2.
The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Electrical Grounding Instructions This sander must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
Recommended Extension Cord Gauges Extension Cords Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Changing the Sanding Belt Referring to Figure 12: 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source. 2. Lock the sanding platen in the vertical position (see the Sanding Platen Angle Adjustment section on page 12). 3. Release tension on the belt by loosening the handle (C). 4. Loosen or remove the lock knobs (B) and remove the belt guard (A). 5. Remove the old belt and install the new belt matching the direction of the arrows on the belt with the arrow label on the top of the platen. Figure 12 6.
Motor Mount Tracking Adjustment Referring to Figure 14: The OES-80CS comes with tracking adjustment bolts (A) on the motor plate. These are set at the factory and should not require any further adjustment. If, however, you are not able to track the belt with the Belt Tracking Adjustment described in the previous section, the motor mount bolts will have to be adjusted. Note: The Motor Mount Tracking Adjustment is a course adjustment. Use the Belt Tracking Adjustment first for fine adjustment.
Basic Operations Removing the belt guard exposes more of the sanding belt! Replace the belt guards immediately after completing any sanding that requires its removal! Failure to comply may cause serious injury! Horizontal Sanding For horizontal sanding, the platen is locked in the horizontal position as shown (F) and the removable fence (D) is secured to the table (E) as follows. Referring to Figure 16: 1.
Contour Sanding Referring to Figure 19: Contour sanding is done from the extension table mounted on the motor where the sanding belt wraps around the drive drum (D). To set up the sander for contour sanding: 1. Loosen the two lock knobs (C) that secure the drum guard & dust port (E). 2. Swing the end guard (E) back, bringing the drive drum (D) into view. 3.
