PAGE 16
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander SET UP Sanding Belt Installation 1. Before installing the belt, clean the protective grease from the upper metal sanding belt roller as per the Cleaning Machine instructions on Page 11. 2. DISCONNECT THE SANDER FROM POWER, but keep the air pressure applied into the machine. 3. Turn the sanding head lock lever counterclockwise and remove the lever and the steel spacer block. 4. Locate the arrows on the inside of the sanding belt.
PAGE 17
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander Pressure Roller Depth and Alignment To reduce snipe, double check the pressure roller depth adjustment. The front and rear pressure roller should be approximately 0.3-0.5mm below the level of the sanding drum. To adjust the pressure rollers, do these steps: DISCONNECT THE SANDER FROM POWER, but keep the air pressure coming in. 2. Make two gauge boards that are 24" long and are of a uniform thickness. 3. Tension the sanding belt. 4.
PAGE 18
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander Pressure Roller Tension Pressure roller tension is the downward force that the pressure rollers place on the workpiece as it passes through the sander. Too little tension will cause the workpiece to pass unevenly through the sander and may launch the workpiece from the sander. Too much tension may cause poor and inconsistent sanding results, as well as premature wear on the conveyor belt and table.
PAGE 19
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander OPERATIONS Control Panel • Power Lamp: Indicates when machine has power to the control panel.

Use the list with Figure 12 to become familiar with your sander. • Conveyor Belt Start and Stop Buttons: Cycles the conveyor motor ON and OFF for feeding wood into the sander. • Sanding Load Amp Meter: Indicates the amp load on the sanding motor when a sanding operation is in progress.
PAGE 20
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander General Operation Your sander will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. If performed incorrectly, sanding operations can be dangerous or deadly. The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine.
PAGE 21
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander Setting Feed Speed The conveyor belt motor offers two conveyor speeds: 13 and 16 FPM (Feet per minute). Figure 13 points out the two sprocket ratios available. 13 FPM To change the conveyor belt speed do these steps: 16 FPM 1. DISCONNECT THE SANDER FROM POWER! 2. Remove the conveyor belt motor cover by taking out the cap screw that secures it. 3. Loosen the four bolts at the motor mount and slide the motor up. Pull the chain off of the sprocket that it is currently on. 4.
PAGE 22
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander Changing Sanding Belts When selecting sanding belt grit, keep in mind that the Model W1751 accepts only 26" wide x 48" long sanding belts. Consider the type of work, the species of wood, and the quality of finish when selecting sandpaper. Use these grit numbers shown in Figure 15 as a general guide to sandpaper type. Sanding belts are often slightly different in shape and tracking properties will be different for each belt.
PAGE 23
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander Using the Platen The adjustable platen and dial (Figure 17) allows you to achieve different results from your sander. The three possible platen positions are as follows: Platen Up — The platen is moved above the sanding rollers. The rollers then act like a drum sander and allow for increased stock removal. In this position, the ideal belt grit is #100 or coarser. The scratch pattern in this mode will be short and deep, relative to grit size.
PAGE 24
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander 7. While standing out of the way of potential kick back, place the workpiece on the conveyor and allow the conveyor to pull the workpiece in. 8. Observe the amp load gauge. —If the amps begin to climb to the red zone, IMMEDIATELY rotate the handwheel so the table is lowered and the sanding depth is reduced. 9.
PAGE 25
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander Jet Air Flow The air jet located at the air fork sends a stream of air across the air fork and into the air stream receiver (see Figure 18). As soon as the sanding belt obstructs this stream of air, a piston changes the direction of belt movement to the left. Your goal is to adjust this stream of air so the system uses the least amount of air and yet the machine still oscillates consistently and without delay.
PAGE 26
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander Belt Tracking The belt tracking knob and lever (Figure 20) stops the belt from tracking off of the drums and shutting down the machine. Your goal is to position the belt tracking lever so the belt tracks in the center of the drums and the left-and-right belt movement takes a similar amount of time. KEEP your hands clear of the sanding belt when making these adjustments! KEEP loose clothing and long hair secured and away from moving parts.
PAGE 27
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander Belt Oscillation Speed For normal operations, the oscillation speed should be set so that it takes approximately a second or two to complete each direction of travel; however, you can experiment with different speeds to see how the results may affect your finished product. Often, you may find that certain speeds yield better results for different varieties of stock and the feed rates chosen.
PAGE 28
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander MAINTENANCE OFF TURN OFF and LOCK the master power switch when doing maintenance so no power is available to the sander! If you ignore this warning serious electrical shock or accidental start may cause injury or death! Rack Table Column General Regular maintenance on your Model W1751 ensures optimum performance. Inspect your machine each time you use it. At the end of the day, remove the sanding belt and clean the back-side of the sanding belt and the drum surfaces.
PAGE 29
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander SERVICE Brake Service Check the brake rotor (shown in Figure 25) regularly to make sure it is clean and the pads are still in good condition (see Figure 26). Using the emergency stop system for daily machine shutdown will wear out the sanding belts and the brake pads. Inspect for any grease or oil on the brake rotor as oil reduces emergency braking ability. To clean any lubricants from the rotor, only use automotive brake parts cleaner and a dry rag.
PAGE 30
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander Changing V-Belts Check the V-belts periodically to check for signs of glazing, cracking or fraying. If any of these conditions are present, change both V-belts. In order to take the V-belts off of the roller pulleys, the rollers must be removed from the sander. SERVICE Change the V-belt as follows: 1. DISCONNECT THE SANDER FROM POWER AND AIR PRESSURE! 2. Loosen the V-belts and remove them from the motor pulley. Refer to V-Belt Tension for any needed details on Page 29. 3.
PAGE 31
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander V-Belt Tension KEEP the sanding drum drive belts correctly adjusted. If the belts are loose, and the emergency stop is engaged, the sanding drum pulley will slip and not immediately stop in the event of an emergency! The V-belts that drive the sanding rollers must be tensioned properly for best performance. To tension the V-belts, do these steps: 1. DISCONNECT THE SANDER FROM POWER! 2. Remove the cover on the right-hand side of the lower portion of the sander. 3.
PAGE 32
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander Conveyor Belt Tension and Tracking The conveyor belt tension and tracking has been set at the factory. However, adjust the conveyor belt tension and tracking if you notice that your conveyor belt is slipping or is tracking off center, or loading up against the positioning wheels (Figure 32) under the conveyor table. To adjust the conveyor belt tension and tracking, do these steps: 1. Lift the emergency stop push panel so it contacts the safety stop shown in Figure 31.
PAGE 33
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander Pressure Rollers The pressure rollers are factory set so they are parallel with each other, parallel with the sanding drum, and parallel with the surface of the conveyor table. Adjustment Locations To reduce snipe, double check the pressure roller depth adjustment. The front and rear pressure roller should be approximately 0.3-0.5mm below the level of the sanding drum. To adjust the pressure rollers, do these steps: 1. DISCONNECT THE SANDER FROM POWER! 2.
PAGE 34
W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander Belt Tracking Limit Switch Belt tracking limit switches are placed on both sides of the machine to act as emergency machine stops if the belt travels too far to one side during oscillation. (see Figure 34). To adjust the belt tracking limit switches, do these steps: DISCONNECT THE SANDER FROM POWER! 2. Make sure the belt tracking and oscillation is adjusted. 3. Release the belt tension, center the sanding belt on the top roller, then re-tension the belt. 4.
