ADJUSTMENTS

Warning: To avoid possible serious personal injury, user must unplug power cord

from power source before attempting to do any of the following adjustments.

SANDING DRUM ALIGNMENT

The following section will describe the verification and adjustment if needed of

the tightness of the elevation tension adjustment nylon hex. nuts and the sanding

drum to feed belt alignment.

Verification and adjustment of the tightness of the elevation tension

adjustment screws

1) The elevation tension adjustment nylon hex. nuts (A) Fig.13 set the

smoothness of the height adjustments. If these nylon hex. nuts are loose, the

drum will deflect during use. If the nylon hex. nuts are too tight, it will be very

difficult to set the desired height.

2) To verify and adjust the elevation tension adjustment nylon hex. nuts (A)

Fig.13, loosen or tighten each adjustment nylon hex. nut as required, turning

only a 1/4 turn at a time until the correct adjustment is obtained.

Verification and adjustment of the alignment of the sanding drum

When checking the alignment of the sanding drum in relation to the feed belt, the

goal is to obtain equal distances at point A and point B as shown in Fig.14. Place

two identical blocks of wood (A & B) Fig.14 under the drum on the feed table, one

at each end as shown. Lower the drum until the drum touches one or both of the

wood blocks. If point A and point B are not equal proceed as follows:

1) Loosen the 4 nylon hex. nuts (A) Fig.15.

2) If the Open Drum Sander is installed on the stand or bolted to a workbench,

loosen the mounting hardware (B) Fig.15 at the motor end of the machine.

3) If the drum is touching at point A but not point B.

- loosen hex. nuts (C), adjust hex. bolts (D) by turning them clockwise. Verify

adjustment, lower the drum until point A and point B are at equal distances,

retighten hex. nuts (C). Retighten 4 nylon hex. nuts (A) and mounting

hardware (B).

4) If the drum is touching at point B but not point A.

- loosen hex. nuts (E), adjust hex. bolts (F) by turning them clockwise. Verify

adjustment, lower the drum until point B and point A are at equal distances,

retighten hex. nuts (E). Retighten 4 nylon hex. nuts (A) and mounting

hardware (B).

ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING FEED BELT (CONVEYOR)

Warning: To avoid possible serious personal injury, user must unplug power cord

from power source before attempting to do any of the following adjustments.

Due to feed belt stretching, it may be required to adjust the feed belt tracking/

tension.

1) The feed belt tracking/tension adjustment screw mechanisms are located on

the infeed side of the feed belt, one on each end of the feed belt.

2) To tighten the tension, turn the adjustment screw (A) Fig.16 clockwise while

holding the hex. nut (B) in place with an open end wrench. To loosen the feed

belt tension, turn the adjustment screw (A) Fig.16 counterclockwise while

holding the hex. nut in place with an open end wrench. It is important to make

identical adjustments to the tracking/tension adjustment screw mechanisms on

both sides of the feed belt.

3) If the feed belt is tracking towards the motor side, add tension to the

adjustment screw (A) Fig.16 on that side of the machine.

Note: Due to the width of the feed belt, tracking adjustments may not become

apparent right away. Increase the feed belt speed so the adjustment is easier to

see. Make small measured corrections of approximately 1/4 turn increments and

evaluate the results. Readjust as needed until feed belt is tracking properly.

SETTING UP AND USING THE DIGITAL DEPTH GAUGE

A digital depth gauge for sanding thickness is included as standard equipment

with this Open Drum Sander. A digital depth gauge offers the most precise

reading of sanded thickness and allows for accurate repeatability of a thickness.

This is ideal when making parts that must be an exact thickness or when

matching a thickness.

1) To set up and operate the digital depth gauge (A) Fig.17, first install the battery

(CR2032) in the battery compartment (B). Then press the ON/OFF button (C)

and then use the MM/IN button (D) to select between the standard metric

millimeter or inch settings.

2) With the sanding belt installed, lower the drum until it touches the feed belt.

Then press the Zero button (E) Fig.17 to calibrate the digital depth gauge to

absolute zero. The digital depth gauge is now set to read sanding thickness.

3) The ABS button (F) Fig.17 selects Absolute (ABS) mode. ABS mode is used

to read the actual thickness of the workpiece.

4) To turn off the digital depth gauge, press the ON/OFF button (C) Fig.17. It is

recommended to remove the battery when not in use.

ADJUSTING THE TENSION ROLLERS

Figure 16

Figure 17

Figure 18

The tension roller pressure is factory set and should be adequate. However, the pressure of each roller can be adjusted as needed.

1) To increase the front tension roller tension turn the tension adjusting screw (A) Fig.18 clockwise 1/4 turn at a time at both ends of the front

tension roller. To decrease tension turn the tension adjusting screw (A) counterclockwise 1/4 turn at a time.

2) To increase the rear tension roller tension turn the tension adjusting screw (B) Fig.18 clockwise 1/4 turn at a time at both ends of the rear

tension roller. To decrease tension turn the tension adjusting screw (B) counterclockwise 1/4 turn at a time.

OPERATION

SETTING DRUM HEIGHT/DEPTH OF CUT

Determining the depth of cut is the most important operating procedure decision.

It may take some experimentation to determine the proper depth of cut. Variables

to keep in mind are abrasive grit, type of wood, type of project, and conveyor feed

belt speed. We highly recommend practicing on a scrap of wood prior to sanding

a final project.

1) The height of the drum is raised or lowered by turning the drum height control

handwheel (A) Fig.19. To raise the drum, turn drum height control handwheel

clockwise. To lower drum, turn drum height control handwheel counter-

clockwise.

2) A 1/4 turn of the drum height control handwheel will raise or lower the drum

approximately 1/64”. One complete turn is 1/16”. Never attempt to remove

more than 1/64” of material in one pass

3) Depth setting can be measured using the digital depth gauge (B) Fig.19. See

setup and operation instructions on the previous page.

A good rule of thumb when sanding is to place the workpiece under the drum and

lower the sanding drum until the workpiece makes contact with the drum, but the

drum can still turned by hand.

DUST COLLECTION

When using this Open Drum Sander, dust collection is required for a safe work

environment and to extend abrasive life. Make sure this Open Drum Sander is

connected properly to a dust collector before operating. See Fig.12.

SETTING THE FEED BELT FEED RATE

After the depth of cut has been determined, selecting the proper feed belt feed

rate is essential. To achieve best finish a slow to moderate feed rate is

recommended. This allows for the most revolutions of the drum per inch of sanding.

Figure 19

Figure 20

Faster feed rates can be used as long as the machine is not over-stressed. When finish sanding with grits finer than 80, the best finish can

usually be obtained if you make another sanding pass without changing the thickness setting and sand again.

1) The feed belt (A) Fig.20 feed rate is controlled by the variable speed dial (B). Turn the dial clockwise to activate the feed belt, turn dial until

desired feed rate is obtained.

2) The feed rate range is 0 to 31 inches per minute. The dial nameplate indicates numbers which approximately translate as follows:

Setting 2 (7” per/min), Setting 4 (13” per/min), Setting 6 (19” per/min), Setting 8 (25” per/min) and Setting 10 (31” per/min).

STARTING SANDING DRUM

Warning: Make sure the workpiece is not in contact with the drum before turning on the drum motor. The drum and feed belt motors must be

running before attempting to feed a workpiece through the Open Drum Sander.

1) To start the Open Drum Sander, press the green start button (C) Fig.20. To stop the Open Drum Sander, press the red stop button (D).

OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES

When feeding workpiece through the Open Drum Sander, stand to the side and rest and hold the workpiece to be sanded on the feed belt.

Allow the feed belt to carry the workpiece into the drum. Once the workpiece is halfway through, reposition yourself to the outfeed side of the

Open Drum Sander to receive and control the workpiece as it exits the Open Drum Sander.

Support long workpieces with the folding infeed and outfeed tables in the up position. Never apply upward or downward pressure on the

workpiece as it is fed throught the Open Drum Sander, doing so may produce snipe in the sanded workpiece. To avoid bodily injury take special

care when sanding a workpiece that is twisted, bowed or otherwise varied in thickness from one end to another.

MAINTENANCE

REPLACING DRUM SANDING BELT

Preparing and installing a new sanding belt on the drum is critical. The end of the

sanding belt gets installed to the left side of the drum first. Then the new sanding

belt is wrapped tightly around the drum, and fixed to the right side of the drum.

Once it is necessary to replace the sanding belt, obtain a replacement belt

through your nearest King Canada distributor. Follow these steps to cut the new

sanding belt, and then to remove the old belt and install a new sanding belt.

1) Refer to Fig.21 illustration as to how to cut the new sanding belt, the belt must

be cut at 15-3/4” diagonally, then cut the tapered end approximately 3” from the

edge as shown. Repeat for the opposite end of the sanding belt.

2) Open the top drum cover to access the used sanding belt. Squeeze the belt

retaining clip (A) Fig.22, do the same at the opposite end of the drum, now the

belt can be unwrapped and removed from the drum.

3) Now you are ready to install the new sanding belt. Start on the left (outboard)

side of the drum. Pinch or squeeze the retaining clip (A) Fig.22 and insert the

tapered end of the sanding belt through the slot and into the fastener so that it

uses most of the width of the slot. Release the retaining clip (A) to securely hold

the tapered end in the fastener.

4) Wrap the sanding belt around the drum, being careful not to overlap the

windings. Continue to wrap the sanding belt in a spiral fashion by rotating the

drum with your left hand and guiding the sanding belt with your right hand, refer

to Fig.23.

5) Pinch or squeeze the retaining clip (A) Fig.24 on the right (inboard) end of the

drum to open the clip, and pull the tensionner lever (B) to the top. Tightly insert

the tapered end of the sanding belt through the slot in the inboard (right) end

of the drum.

6) The inboard retaining clip fastener is designed to automatically take up any

slack caused by stretching of the sanding belt. If during use the sanding belt

stretches enough to allow the tensionner lever to reach its lowest position and

no longer maintain tension on the sanding belt, an adjustment is needed. If this

occurs then the tension is no longer maintained on the sanding belt. To fix this

reset the tensionner lever (B) Fig.24 by raising it, pushing the sanding belt

further into the slot and then releasing the clip.

HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFEOFYOUR SANDING BELT

An Abrasive Cleaner (King accessory model KW-043) may be used to remove

deposits and help extend the life of the sanding belt. To use the cleaning stick,

operate the sanding drum with the dust cover open and dust collection on.

1) Hold the Abrasive Cleaner against the rotating drum and move it along the

drum surface.

2) Use a shop brush to remove any Abrasive Cleaner remnants from the drum

before resuming sanding operations.

MAINTENANCE

REPLACING FEED BELT

1) Raise the drum to its highest position using the height adjustment handle.

2) Loosen the feed belt tracking/tension adjustment screws (A) Fig.25 and (A)

Fig.26 to relieve feed belt tension.

3) Loosen the two cap screws (B) Fig.26 on the inboard (right) side that secures

the feed belt assembly to the base.

4) Remove the cap screws (B) Fig.25 on the outboard (left) side. Lift the feed belt

assembly from the left side and slide the old feed belt (C) off the rollers.

5) Install new feed belt onto the feed belt assembly. Reverse the procedure for

re-installation.
