in this manual.

Assembling and installing crank handle

In the loose items box, remove the crank base, handle and 14mm open end wrench.

ssemble the handle (A) Fig.3 to the crank base (B), use the 14mm open end wrench on

the flat (C) of the handle to securely tighten it.

Install the crank assembly onto the crank shaft on the left side of the drum sander, make

sure the crank base engages the lock pin in the crank shaft.

Assembling magnetic switch rear cover

In the loose items box, remove the black magnetic switch rear cover. This rear cover (A)

Fig.4 must be fixed to the rear of the magnetic switch (B), to do this, position it as shown

and secure it into place using 2 small hex. bolts and hex. nuts (C) supplied.

Assembling magnetic switch bracket to drum sander body

The magnetic switch (B) Fig.4 comes completely wired but not secured to the drum sander.

To secure the magnetic switch, partially loosen the 2 hex. bolts (D) on the top right side of

the drum sander. Position the two large holes in the magnetic switch bracket over the two

hex. bolts, push the bracket up as much as possible against the hex. bolts and then

tighten the two hex. bolts to secure bracket in place. See Fig.4.

Connecting the single drum sander to a dust collection system

WARNING! NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR MACHINE WITHOUT A DUST

COLLECTION SYSTEM INSTALLED AND RUNNING!

This 26” single drum sander is equipped with two 4” dust chutes (A) Fig.5. Before any

adjustment or operation, two 4” dust collection hoses (usually short ones) must be secured

to the dust chutes using ring clamps. At the other end of the these two dust collection

hoses, fit a 4” “Y” adaptor, secure the dust collection hoses to both of its openings (same

side of adaptor) using ring clamps. Then secure a longer 4” dust collection hose to the

opposite single opening, using a ring clamp. It is very important that the dust collection

hoses and “Y” adaptor get suspended so they do not come in contact with the front or rear

of the conveyor belt. Finally connect the other end of the dust collection hose to the dust

collector.

ASSEMBLY

Adjusting the sanding thickness

To set the sanding height to the required thickness, use the crank handle (A) Fig.6. Turning

he handle clockwise will raise the conveyor table. Turning the table handle

counterclockwise will lower the conveyor table.

When the height thickness is unknown, set the workpiece to be sanded on the conveyor

belt, under the sanding drum. Raise the conveyor table until the sanding drum contacts the

workpiece, observe the depth scale (A) Fig.7 on the front of the machine, the depth scale

indicator (B) will indicate the thickness of the present position.

Conveyor Belt Tension and Tracking

The conveyor belt tension and tracking adjustments are controlled by adjustment cap

screws (A) Fig.8 located at each end of the front conveyor roller. If the conveyor belt is too

loose or tracks off to one side, adjust as follows:

If the conveyor belt is slipping, undo the three hex. nuts (B) on both sides of the conveyor

to allow for adjustment and then turn both adjustment cap screws (A) clockwise (even

amount of turns on both sides) to tighten conveyor belt, once this adjustment is done,

retighten the hex. nuts against the brackets as shown in Fig.8.

Conveyor belt tracking adjustments must be made while the conveyor belt is running. If the

conveyor belt tracks toward the right side, turn the adjustment cap screw located on the

right side clockwise, this will make the sanding belt move to the left. Once this adjustment

is done, continue to run the conveyor for approximately 10 minutes to observe the tracking

adjustment you made. Be patient, the belt tracks slow. If the conveyor belt tracks too far to

the left, readjust adjustment cap screw located on the right side, turning this adjustment cap

screw

counterclockwise will move the conveyor belt to the right.

Adjusting spring tension of pressure rollers

The spring tension of the infeed pressure roller (A) Fig.9 and outfeed pressure roller (B) can

be adjusted to reduce snipe. To adjust the spring tension of the pressure rollers;

Unlatch and lift the sanding drum cover. Adjust the spring tension adjustment pan hd

screws (C) at both ends of each pressure roller

. Turn the adjustment pan hd screws

clockwise to increase the pressure roller spring tension or counterclockwise to decrease

the pressure roller spring tension.

Increasing the tension will increase the pressure of the board on the conveyor belt, but will

also be less forgiving of irregularities in the board and could cause jamming. You will need

to determine experimentally the optimal tension for your stock. Once the adjustment has

been made, lower and lock the sanding drum cover.

Removing the sanding belt

WARNING! MAKE SURE THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE

POWER SOURCE BEFORE REMOVING OR INSTALLING A SANDING BELT!

n order to access the sanding drum, unlatch and lift the sanding drum cover. The sanding

belt is held in place at both ends of the drum by a spring loaded clamp (left side) and a

spring loaded clamp with tensionner (right side). Apply finger pressure on these spring

oaded clamps and pull the sanding belt out of them.

IMPORTANT: WE RECOMMEND REMOVING THE SANDING BELT FROM THE

SANDING DRUM TO MAKE A PATTERN AS REFERENCE FOR FUTURE

REPLACEMENT SANDING BELTS.

Unwind the old sanding belt and use it as a pattern or use the pattern in the illustration

below to cut the new 5” x 98” (approx.) sanding belt, it is necessary to cut a triangular

portion of the sanding belt at each end using the dimensions below.

Installing sanding belt

Pull the left spring loaded clamp lever (A) Fig.10 forward to allow the “L” end of the

sanding belt tab (see illustration above) to slide under the clamp (B). Release the clamp to

lock the belt tab into place. Refer to Fig.10 as reference, this figure shows the proper

starting position of the sanding belt.

Roll the sanding belt onto the drum, keeping the edges snug as shown in Fig.11. A small

gap inbetween the sanding belt is fine but do not overlapping is not good.

Once the edge of the sanding belt reaches the right edge of the drum, make a mark on the

edge of the sanding belt as shown in Fig.12. Unwind, unclamp and remove the sanding belt

from the drum. Using the mark on the sanding belt as reference, cut the triangular portion

away as shown in illustration above and repeat the installation procedure.

Once you have reinstalled the sanding belt and have reached the right side of the drum,

push the spring loaded clamp lever and tensionner assembly (A

& B) Fig.13 backwards to

allow the “R” end of the sanding belt tab (see illustration above) to slide under the clamp

(C). In order to clamp and tension the sanding belt, first release the clamp lever to clamp

the sanding belt tab, finally release the entire tensionner assembly to tension the sanding belt.

Drum sander controls

Important note: The conveyor motor and the sanding drum motor operate independently

from each other. The magnetic switch activates and stops the sanding drum and a

separate On/Of

f switch with removable safety key activates and stops the variable speed

conveyor belt. The variable speed adjustment dial sets the conveyor feed speed.

Note: Always start the dust collector before turning on the drum sander.

To turn the machine on, press the green “On” button (A) Fig.14 on the magnetic switch (B)

to start the sanding drum. Push the conveyor belt On/Off switch (C) up to the “On” position

to start the conveyor belt feed. This switch comes with a removable safety key (D)

that

allows the switch to be locked in the “Of

f” position.

o activate the locking feature, push

switch to the “Off” position and pull the safety key out of the switch. To reactivate the switch,

simply reposition the safety key in the switch. Set the conveyor belt feed speed using the

variable speed adjustment dial (E).

When the operation is done, press the red “Emergency off” button (F) on the magnetic

switch. This button has an important safety device, its twist-and-pull design in the button

helps to avoid accidental starts, yet, in the event of an emergency

, the knob can be pushed

straight down to stop the machine. Finally push the conveyor belt On/Off switch down to

the “Off” position to stop the conveyor belt feed.

Sanding guidelines and set-up

Under most sanding conditions, a normal sanding pass is no more than 1⁄64” deep. This depth can be achieved by approximately 1⁄4 turn of the

conveyor crank handle. Attempts to remove too much can cause jamming, wood burning, rapid sanding belt wear or tearing, poor finish and belt

slippage. We recommend that wide stock be sent through two to three times without adjusting the conveyor height. Turn the stock 180° to ensure

an even sanding pass.

Steps to follow for test run;

Start the dust collector, make thickness adjustment by placing test workpiece on the conveyor and turn the conveyor crank handle until the test

orkpiece comes in contact with the pressure rollers and sanding drum. Remove the test workpiece from the conveyor and start the sanding

drum and the conveyor motors, set the appropriate sanding feed speed and feed your test

orkpiece.

Retrieve the test workpiece at the outfeed end of the conveyor and inspect it. Make

necessary adjustments until you gain more experience and produce an even sanding finish.

Appropriate conveyor feed speed

The correct speed to use depends on the type of stock you are using (hardwood vs.

softwood). As a general rule, a slower feed rate will sand the surface smoother, but runs the

risk of burning the wood; a faster feed rate will remove material faster, but runs the risk of

overloading the motor. Use trial-and-error to determine the best settings for your specific

applications.

Selecting the appropriate grit of sanding belt

There are many types of sanding belts to choose from. As a general rule, sand a workpiece

with progressively higher grit numbers, with no one grit increase of more than 50. Ultimately,

the type of wood you use and your desired finish will determine the best grit type to install on

your drum sander. Here is a standard guideline, 60 Grit/coarse, 80-100 grit/medium, 120-180

grit/fine and 220 grit/very fine.

Maintenance

NOTE: Disconnect machine from power source, before performing any maintenance

or lubrication.

The table height adjustment screw shafts, located at either end of the machine must be well

lubricated with grease at all times. Verify that all nuts and screws are properly tightened

before sanding. Verify that the sanding belt is installed properly and has not become loose

or torn. Remove any dust or particles from machine; never allow dust to accumulate on or in

the machine.

Replacing the coveyor belt

If the conveyor belt gets too worn out, the operations will not produce satisfactory results.

The conveyor belt will need to be replaced for perfect results.

o replace the conveyor belt,

first remove the four cap screws (A) Fig.15 (two on each side) which holds the conveyor belt

to the frame. Tilt the entire conveyor table and slide it out from the sander frame. Remove

the front plate (B) and release the conveyor belt tension (see adjustment section). Slide the

used conveyor belt off and replace it with an identical one. Reinstall the conveyor table and

make sure to follow all the conveyor belt adjustments found in this manual.

ensioning or replacing the drive V

-belt

The sanding drum is driven by a V-belt (A) Fig.17 and powered by a motor

. If the V

-belt

becomes too loose or needs to be replaced, follow these procedures;

Remove the right side end guard by removing six front and rear mounted pan hd screws. To

tension the V

-belt, loosen the two hex. nuts (A) Fig.16 and tighten the two hex. bolts (B),

reposition the hex. nuts to secure motor in position. Proper tension is achieved when the

V-belt can be deflected about 3⁄4” with moderate finger pressure at the midpoint.

To replace V-belt, release the V-belt tension by loosenning the two hex. nuts (A) Fig.16 and

the two hex. bolts (B) until you are able to remove the V-belt. Reposition new indentical

V-belt around the sanding drum pulley (B) Fig.17 and the motor pulley (C) Fig.17 and

retension the V-belt as described in the above step.
