Machine Description

A drum sander is used to remove surface material
from stock using an abrasive belt that is wrapped
tightly around a drum.

A conveyor pulls the workpiece toward the sand­ing drum while pressure rollers hold the workpiece
steady, so the sanding drum can remove a thin
layer from the top of the workpiece.

On the G0459/G0459P, a crank handle is used to
control cutting depth and a variable speed knob
adjusts the conveyor speed for the specific type
of workpiece and finish.

The only difference between the Model G0459
and G0459P is the paint color.

Additional Safety for Drum Sanders

FEEDING STOCK. Do not stand in the direct

path of a workpiece at the infeed end when feed­ing your stock. Never sand more than one piece
of stock at a time. DO NOT jam the workpiece
into the machine during operation. Firmly grasp
the workpiece in both hands and ease it into the
machine using light pressure.

MINIMUM STOCK DIMENSIONS. Do not sand
any stock thinner than
shorter than 8". Do not sand thin stock by using a
“dummy” board under your workpiece.

SAFETY COVERS. All covers must be closed
and in place before starting machine.

CLOTHING. Do not wear loose clothing while
operating this machine. Roll up or button long
sleeves at the cuff.

HAND PROTECTION. Do not place hands near,
or in contact with, sanding drum during operation.
DO NOT allow fingers to get pinched between
board and conveyor belt during operation. This
may pull the operator’s hand into the machine and
cause serious injury!

DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM. Never operate
the sander without an adequate dust collection
system in place and running.

1

⁄8", narrower than 2", or

INSPECTING WORKPIECES. Always inspect
every workpiece for nails, staples, knots, and
other imperfections that could be dislodged and
thrown from the machine during sanding opera­tions. Do not use workpieces with these defects.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. Any problem,
with the exception of conveyor belt tracking, that
is concerned with any moving parts or accesso­ries, must be investigated and corrected with the
power disconnected, and after all moving parts
have come to a complete stop.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS. Never
attempt to adjust conveyor belt tracking when the
sanding drum is running.

Perform machine inspections and maintenance
service promptly when called for. Disconnect
power before performing maintenance or adjust­ments to the sander.

RESPIRATOR AND SAFETY GLASSES. Always
wear a respirator and safety glasses while operat­ing the machine. Dust and chips are created when
sanding. Some debris will be ejected, becoming
hazards to the eyes and lungs.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrican or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage may
occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and
connected to the power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the requirements in the following section.

For your own safety and protection of

Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man­ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one
machine will be running at a time. If this machine
will be connected to a shared circuit where mul­tiple machines will be running at the same time,
consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the
circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a 115V
power supply circuit that has a verified ground and
meets the following requirements:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec­essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon­nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must
contain a ground wire, match the required plug
and receptacle, and meet the following require­ments:

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.

This machine is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding wire and a ground­ing plug (similar to the figure below). The plug
must only be inserted into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Site Considerations

Weight Load

Physical Environment

Place this machine near an existing power source.

Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work­piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main­tenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.

The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and lon­gevity of machine components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi­cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the
environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or
bumps.

Electrical Installation

Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,
or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to
a means of disconnecting the power source or
engaging a lockout/tagout device, if required.
