SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are
done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run
the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel.
Press the START button. Make sure that your fin-
ger is poised on the switch, just in case there is a
problem. The machine should run smoothly, with
little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or
unnatural noises should be investigated and cor-
rected before operating the machine further.
If you cannot easily locate the source of an
unusual noise or vibration, contact our Service
Department for help.
Test Run
There are many types of sanding belts to choose
from. We recommend Aluminum Oxide for gener-
al workshop environments. Below is a chart that
groups abrasives into different classes, and
shows which grits fall into each class.
The general rule of thumb is to sand a workpiece
with progressively higher grit numbers, with no
one grit increase of more than 100.
Sanding Belts
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any maintenance,
assembly or adjust-
ments. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire operation
process. Failure to com-
ply may result in serious
personal injury.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Always wear a dust
mask when operating
the Model G9984/G9985.
Using this machine pro-
duces sawdust which
may cause allergic reac-
tions or respiratory
problems.
