Installing Abrasives An 80-grit abrasive strip is already installed on the drum of your sander. Page 28 offers information on the types of abrasive and their recommended uses. Proper attachment of the abrasive strip to the drum is critical to achieving top performance from your drum sander. Abrasive strips do not have to be pre-measured. The end of the roll is Figure 11 first tapered and attached to the left (outboard) side of the drum. Then the strip is wrapped around the drum, an

Hold the TUFTool with the red end pointing away from you (Figure 15) and insert its hook into the outside hole of the fastener lever (see Figure 17). 9. Lift the lever with the TUFTool, pulling the lever up until it touches the inside of the drum. 10. Turn the TUFTool counterclockwise and lower it onto the abrasive strip, making sure it is hold

6. If one height adjustment screw is loose, remove the miter gear from the transfer rod on that side. Turn down the threaded height adjustment screw rod until it is snug. Make sure both sides are snug on top and retaining rings under the adjustment screw supports are in place. Re-install the miter gear. Loosen the set screws in the table supports and test for smooth operation. Depth Gauge Calibration The depth gauge (A, Figure 25) measures the distance between the conveyor table and

2. Slightly loosen bearing bolt knobs. (An internal tooth lock washer is placed under the head of each bearing bolt to prevent tension rollers from dropping out of position if knobs are loosened slightly. If tension rollers do drop, simply raise to a position equal to that of the inboard end of the drum and slightly tighten knobs.) 3. With the bearing bolt knobs slightly loosened, raise drum adjustment lever to raise the outboard end of drum, or lower drum adjustment l

Then allow time for the belt to react to the adjustments before proceeding further. Try to avoid over adjustments. Trackers The sander comes equipped with “Trackers”, ceramic guides that reduce the amount of adjustments needed to keep the conveyor belt tracked (centered) on the
