Assembly
This assembly section covers how to install the platen,
handwheel crank, air supply, ducting, and the sanding
belt.
Platen
1. Facing the front of the sander, open the left hand
access door with the included door handle.
2. Remove the door handle, and set it aside.
3. Turn the sanding head lock lever counterclockwise
and remove the lever and the steel spacer block.
4. Install the platen (Figure 3) so that the graphite
pad is on the left-hand side of the platen.
5. Reinstall the steel spacer block, the sanding head
lock lever, and turn the lever clockwise to lock the
headstock.
6. Lower the conveyor table down as far as it will go,
so that you have enough room to work under the
sanding belt rollers.
7. Place a straightedge across the bottom of both
sanding belt rollers.
8. Using the platen adjustment knob shown in Figure
4, position the platen so that it barely touches the
straightedge, and thus, is even with both sanding
belt rollers.
Handwheel Crank
1. Make sure that the jam nut is threaded completely
onto the handle screw.
2. Use a flat-head screwdriver to thread the handle
screw all the way into the handwheel as shown in
Figure 5.
3. Un-thread the handle screw 1 ⁄
2
a turn to make the
plastic sleeve loose enough rotate freely.
4. Tighten the jam nut to lock the handle screw in
place.
