The dial attached to the side of the feed belt
gear box (
Figure 17) adjusts the feed rate of the
sander.
Note: Never adjust the feed rate dial unless the
conveyor belt is running, otherwise you can dam-
age the control.
Changing Feed Rat e: Turn the dial clockwise to
decrease the feed rate and counterclockwise to
increase it.
Determining Ideal Feed Rate s: Softwoods typi-
cally require a faster feed rate than hardwoods;
however, there is no definitive rule to follow when
determining the best feed rate. As a general rule,
always start with the slowest feed rate and work
your way up. We always recommend testing
the feed rate using scrap wood similar to your
workpiece. Be sure to monitor the amperage
meter when adjusting the feed rate. Decrease
the feed rate if the load begins to slow the motor
RPM to damaging levels.
