How to Transport the Machine
CAUTION: Premature bearing failure can occur if the
fan belt is set too tight. The fan belt should
deflect ½” at the center of the span with 5
lbs. of pressure.
NOTE: It is necessary to adjust the fan belt independently during this
procedure or during replacement. The idler pulley is factory adjusted.
Transporting the Machine by Carrying - Two People
1. Person #1 places his hands under the front of the machine’s main
casting.
2. Person #2 lifts the machine by the operating handle.
Machine Set-Up
To set-up your machine, follow this procedure:
1. Familiarize yourself with the machine and read all danger,
warning and caution statements. Make sure all operators of this
machine have read this Owner’s Manual. If they cannot read this
manual, have the manual explained fully before allowing anyone
to operate the sander.
2. Locate the electrical source. The receptacle should be
compatible with the plug. The receptacle must be grounded and
must be fused (see nameplate for electrical requirements) to
avoid an electrical hazard.
3. Clip the dust bag to the elbow. (See figure 9) Cross the strings
on the dust bag and draw tight over the flare on the elbow. Wrap
the string around the elbow and secure.
4. Wind the electrical cord through the cable arm.
(See figure 10) Keep the power cord out of path of equipment.
Do not connect the electrical cord at this time.
5. Pull the draw latch forward to release the access door to gain
entry to the sanding chamber.
6. Rotate the release lever forward. (See Figure 11)
