If the drum is not parallel, loosen the 4 socket head screws A (these screws
are along the outboard (left) side of the conveyor belt) and raise or lower the
conveyor with the adjustment nut B to achieve parallel alignment. Then
tighten the four socket head screws.
To achieve parallel alignment on the inboard (right) side of the machine,
repeat steps 3 and 4, then adjust the alignment if needed by loosening the 4
socket head screws located along the outboard (left) side of the conveyor and
turning the height adjustment nut of the conveyor.
Connecting Dust Collection
Dust collection is necessary for the drum sander. The sander comes
equipped with a 100 mm (4”) diameter dust exhaust port at the top of
the cover. Make sure that the minimum dust requirements are sucient.
To attach to your collection system, install 100 mm (4”) hose from your
collector. The minimum recommended dust collector capacities is 1000
m³/h. For best results, follow the recommendations of the manufacturer
of your dust collector. When connecting dust collector straight pipe is
preferred because it is the least restrictive for airow. If straight pipe is not
possible Y’s and elbows are preferred because they are less restrictive to
airow than T’s.
Note: Some applications will require more dust collection than the
recommended minimum.
Power and Electrical Safety
11. Make sure that your power supply is adequate (230 V, circuit breaker
16 A, rating C (16/1/C))). After the dust collection system is in place and
the drum alignment is checked your machine is ready to be powered up
and operated.
Abrasive Selection Guide
To attach the abrasive to the drum, follow the procedure below.
Grit Common Application
24 GRIT - Abrasive planing, surfacing rough-sawn boards, maximum stock
or glue removal
36 GRIT - Abrasive planing, surfacing rough-sawn boards, maximum stock
or glue removal
50 GRIT - Surfacing and dimensioning boards, trueing warped boards
60 GRIT - Surfacing and dimensioning boards, trueing warped boards
80 GRIT - Light dimensioning, removal of planer ripples
100 GRIT - Light surfacing, removal of planer ripples
120 GRIT - Light surfacing, minimal stock removal
150 GRIT - Finish sanding, minimal stock removal
180 - GRIT Finish sanding only, not for stock removal
220 GRIT - Finish sanding only, not for stock removal
6.2 Installing and Wrapping Abrasives
Accurate attachment of the abrasive to the drum is critical to achieving
the machine top performance. Abrasive strips do not have to be pre-
measured. The end of the roll is rst tapered and attached to the outboard
(left) side of the drum. Then the strip is wrapped around the drum. The
second taper is made for attachment to the inboard (right) side of the
drum.
Note: Pre-cut abrasives have been factory tapered to the specic width of
your drum. If you are cutting your own abrasive, use the wrap that came
on the drum as a template (abrasive side up).
Installing and Wrapping Abrasives (continued)
UNPLUG THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE!
1. Mark and cut a taper at one end of the roll as shown below. Because
the tapered end should use most of the left (outboard) slot width, its end
must be trimmed. Start on the left (outboard) side of the drum. Pinch or
squeeze the clip lever on the left (outboard) side of the drum. Insert the
tapered end through the slot and into the fastener so that it uses most of
the width of the slot. Release the clip lever to securely hold the wrap end
in the fastener.
2. Wind the abrasive around the drum, being careful not to overlap the
windings. The tapered cut of the wrap end should follow the edge of the
drum.
Continue to wrap the abrasive in a spiral fashion by rotating the drum with
your left hand and guiding the abrasive with your right hand. Successive
windings of the wrap should be ush with previous windings without any
overlap.
3. Squeeze the clip lever to open the clip and pull the take-up lever to the
top. Insert the tapered end through the slot in the inboard (right) end of
the drum.
4. The take-up fastener is designed to automatically take up any slack
caused by stretching of the abrasive wrap. The abrasive wrap may stretch
enough in use to allow the take-up lever to reach its lowest position so it
no longer is able to maintain tension on the wrap.
If this occurs, it will be necessary to reset the take-up lever by raising it,
pushing the wrap end into the slot, and then releasing the clip lever.
Note: The drum was removed to show the inboard (right) take-up
fastener.
