6. Position the table (H, Figure 9) over the

brackets, and install four 1/4”x3/4” square
neck bolts (J), 1/4” flat washers (K), and 1/4”
hex nuts (L). Do not fully tighten yet.

7. The table should be positioned even with or

slightly below the conveyor belt surface. To
check position, place a level or straight edge
near the left side of the conveyor and
extending out over the table, as shown in
Figure 10. Raise the conveyor table until the
drum holds the straight edge in place, and
adjust the infeed table until it is even with or
slightly below the conveyor belt surface.

8. Place the straight edge near the the right

side of the conveyor table and repeat.
Tighten all hex nuts on the infeed table.

9. Mount the outfeed table in the same manner

as described above. (Removal of existing
screws on the rails will not be necessary for
the outfeed side.)

Leveling the Sander

Proper leveling is important for getting the
maximum performance from your sander.
Before making fine adjustments, place the unit
where it will be used in the shop. Then adjust
the four leg glides (see Figure 4) using a
carpenter’s level placed on the conveyor bed in
both X- and Y-axis positions. Make sure the hex
nuts on the leg glides are tightened securely
against the sander legs.

If you are using the optional casters, level the
sander after positioning the machine where it
will be used most often. Place washers on the
casters as needed to shim up the legs. Mark the
position of the legs on the floor with tape so the
sander can be returned to the same position.

Dust Collection

Dust collection is mandatory for a safe work
environment and extended abrasive life. The
sander is equipped with a 4” dust collection port
at the back of the dust cover. It is designed to be
used with standard 4” dust collection hose
connected to a high volume dust collector with a
minimum capacity of 600 CFM.

Using a shop vacuum is not recommended for
this machine, but if used it should be a 16 gallon
or larger canister type shop vacuum. This
requires converting the dust port down to 2-1/2”.
An adapter is available from your dealer (stock
no. 80-2910) for converting to the 2-1/2” hose.
Do not reduce hose size smaller than 2-1/2”. For
best results, follow recommendations of the dust
collector manufacturer.
