Conductor size must be 16 A.W.G. for cords up to 100 feet in length. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged. Minimum Gage for extension cord:

Note that the ends of the roller are tapered. This helps keep the belt tracked. When using the end roller for curved sanding, we recommend you use the center portion of the roller to assure proper belt tracking. This also prevents the edge of the workpiece from becoming tapered.

Once the assembly is complete and the adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test the machine.

Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. Make sure that your finger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there’s a problem. The edge sander should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further.

TTeesstt RRuunn

If unusual noises occur that cannot be found by visual inspection, feel free to contact our service department for help.

If the sander runs smoothly, try sanding a piece of lumber. If a problem exists, stop the machine and review all the adjustments. Call for assistance, if needed.

LLuubbrriiccaattiioonn

TTaabbllee

Shielded and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no lubrication for the life of the bearings. In a continuous-use environment, expect the bearings to last for several years. With intermittent use, bearings can be expected to last much longer. All bearings are standard sizes and can be easily replaced.

The table and other non-painted surfaces on the Model G1531 should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the sander clean after every use ensures that moisture from sander dust isn’t allowed to trap moisture against bare metal surfaces.

Some woodworkers recommend using automotive paste wax on exposed steel and cast iron surfaces. The wax provides a layer of protection, as well as reducing friction between lumber and the table, making cuts faster and smoother. Avoid waxes that contain silicone or other synthetic ingredients. These materials can find their way into lumber that’s being worked, and can make staining and finishing difficult. If you use paste wax, make sure that it’s 100% Carnauba wax.

Make a habit of inspecting your sander each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.

11..

Loose mounting bolts.

22..

Worn switch.

33..

Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

44..

Damaged sanding belt.

55..

Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.
