PREPARATION To install new sandpaper (Fig. 9 - 12): 1. Roll the sanding drum until the slot on the left of the drum is on top. Reach under the left lip of the drum to locate the spring clamp. 2. Lift the clamping device and insert the end of the replacement sandpaper into the slot (Fig. 9). Push the sandpaper so that about 1 inch of sandpaper is loaded to ensure enough grip. Align the left side of the sandpaper with the left lip on the drum. Fig. 9 3.
PREPARATION WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental startups, always ensure that the tool is switched OFF and unplugged from the power supply before making adjustments. INTRODUCTION The drum sander is a machine designed to sand wooden workpieces to a desired thickness and smoothness. Before adjusting and operating the machine, it is important to know that drum sanding is different from thickness planing. Drum sanding can only remove material in increments of 1/32 inch (0.
PREPARATION ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT (Fig. 13) The depth of cut of your drum sander is the amount of material that is removed by the sanding drum in one pass. The proper depth of cut depends on many variables, including the feed rate, hardness of the material and width of the material. For a smoother result, a smaller depth of cut is always recommended. IMPORTANT: You should never remove more than 1/32 inch (0.8mm) of material in one pass.
OPERATION WARNING: Do not attempt to plug in or operate your tool until the entire operator’s manual has been read and understood. Make sure that the machine is assembled and setup properly. Failure to do so could result in personal injury and damage to the tool. WARNING: Loose hair, clothing, or jewelry could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep these items away from moving parts at all times to reduce the risk of injury.
ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental startups, always ensure that the tool is switched OFF and unplugged from the power supply before making adjustments. The following settings should be correctly adjusted from the factory. However, they may need to be checked and adjusted to ensure optimal sanding performance. Refer to the sections below to adjust the following settings.
ADJUSTMENTS HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT TENSION SCREWS (Fig. 16 & 17) The six height adjustment tension screws on the height adjustment wheel side of the sander apply pressure to the sliding mechanism of the sanding head. The tightness of the screws can be tuned to allow accurate and smooth height adjustments. 1 If the screws are too loose, the drum will deflect during operation, causing an uneven sanded surface.
ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE ROLLER (Fig. 20 & 21) There are two pressure rollers (Fig. 20 - 1) on each side of the sanding drum. The rollers extrude slightly below the bottom of the drum in order to press the workpiece against the conveyor belt as it passes through the sander. The pressure on the rollers is controlled by the springs and adjustment screws that can be accessed from the inside of the drum housing. If the roller pressure is too high, kickback and snipe may occur.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: To prevent serious injury from accidental operation, always turn off and disconnect the machine from power source before installation, cleaning and maintenance operations. WARNING: Use caution when performing maintenance on the drum sander. Do not wear long sleeve shirts, neckties or jewelry. Make sure to tie back long hair. DAILY INSPECTION For optimum performance, inspect the machine before every use. Check the following before each operation.
MAINTENANCE CONVEYOR FEED BELT REPLACEMENT (Fig. 24 & 25) Regularly check the conveyor belt before operation. The conveyor belt may need replacement due to normal wear and tear, contact with the sanding drum abrasive during operation, mis-tracking of the conveyor belt, or excessive build-up. Follow the steps below to remove and replace the conveyor belt. 1. Turn off and disconnect the machine from the power source. 2.
