3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
4. This sander is designed and int ended for use by proper ly t rained and experi enced personnel onl y. If
you are not f amiliar wit h the proper and safe operati on of a sander, do not use unt il proper training
and knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this sander f or other than it s intended use. If used for other pur poses, JET disclaim s any
real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless fr om any injury that m ay resul t from that use.
6. Always wear appr oved safety glasses/face shields while usi ng this sander. Everyday ey eglasses only

the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine l ong hair . Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips
are recommended. Do not wear gloves.
8. Wear ear protector s (plugs or muffs) during extended peri ods of operation.
9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contain chemi cals known to cause cancer , bir th defects or other r eproductiv e harm . Some exampl es
of these chemic als are:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Crystalli ne sil ic a from bricks, cement and other masonry pr oduc ts.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber .
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
10. Do not oper ate this machine while tir ed or under t he i nfluence of drugs, alcohol or any medi c ation.
11. Mak e c ertain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.
12. Mak e c ertain the machine is properl y grounded.

purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.
16. Make sure the sander is firmly secured to the stand or work tabl e before use.
17. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended

Tools requi red for St and assembly: Ratchet wrench with 1/2” socket
1. Assembl e legs (H) to outside of Short Rails (L) using carr iage bolts (N) and flanged lock nuts (O).
Finger tighten only .
2. Assem ble Long Rail (K) on inside of legs and on top of Short Rails (L). Finger t ighten only. NOT E:
Flange of Long Rail ( K) overl aps flange of Short Rail (L). See Det ail 1 below.
3. Turn stand upside down. I nstall shelf (J) into legs (H) using carriage bolts and lock nuts.
4. Fully tighten all flanged lock nuts in shelf and legs.
5. If you ar e using the provi ded leveling f oot (M), pl ace it in bot tom hole of leg by placing a hex nut (P)
and flat washer (R) ab ove and bel ow the leg fl ange. If you are mounting the opti onal casters, see
“Casters” below.

Assembling the Sander
Tools Required for Assembl y ( not provided):
Ratchet wrench with extension
7/16”, 9/16” and 1/2” sockets
9/16” open-end wrench
Flat blade screwdriver
Installing Drum Head
1. Lift the drum head a ssembl y out of t he box,
and temporarily rest it crosswise on top of
the stand. (If your stand has casters, make
sure they are lock ed.)
Figure 5
T he d rum h ead i s heavy; u se
an assistant to help lift if needed.
2. Mount the knob to the height adjustment
handle. See Figure 5. Tighten the hex nut
against the handle base with a 9/16”
wrench.
3. Rotate the height adjustment handle
clockwise to raise the drum and free the
wood support bloc k s.
4. Use a 9/16” socket wrench to remove the
hex cap screws and flat washers which
secure the plywood board s to the bottom of
the sander base. Retain these screws and
washers for step 6.
5. Posi tion the drum head assem bly on top of
the stand so that t he four thr eaded holes of
the base ali gn wi th the holes in the long rails
of the stand (Figur e 6).
[NOTE:The four holes at the center of the
long rails are not used with the 16-32 Plus.]
6. Fasten base to stand (from beneath) with
the four screws and flat washers that you
removed from the plywood boards. See
Figure 6. Tighten the screws securely.
Figure 6
Installing Conveyor
1. Raise the sanding drum to its highest
elevation by rotating the height adjustment
handle (Figure 5) in a cl ockwise direction.
2. Install the conveyor bed to t he base so that
the conveyor mounti ng holes align with the
holes in the base. Install four 5/16” hex
washer head screws (A, Figure 7).
3. Insert plug of motor cord (B, Figure 7) into
the receptacle on the control box.
Figure 7
10
IMPORTANT: The conveyor belt has been over-
tensioned for shipping pur poses. It m ust be re-
tensioned before operating the sander! See
“Conveyor B elt T ensi on/T r ac king” on page 16.
Infeed and Outfeed Tables (Optional
Accessory)
The sander should be bolted to the stand or a
work table when using these table extensions.
Maximum working load of each table is 35
pounds.
1. Install a bracket (A, Figure 8) to the two
holes in the sander base with a 9/16”
wrench, using two hex cap screws (B), two
flat washers (C) and two flanged lock nuts
(D). The bracket should be fl ush against the
base. Make sure the slotted holes for
mounting the table ar e facing up, as shown
in Figure 8. Tighten the flanged lock nuts
(D) against the insi de of the sander base.
2. Place the table (E, Figure 8) over the
bracket and i nsert four carriage bolt s, ( F) flat
washers (G) and hex nuts (H), as shown.
Finger tighten only .
3. Position the table slightly below the
conveyor belt surface for proper support of
stock. To check position, place a straightedge on one si de of the conveyor bed under
the sanding drum and extending out over
the table. Lower the sanding drum to
securely hold the straight-edge in place.
See Figure 9. Rai se the infeed/ outf eed table
until the table surface is slightly below the
conveyor belt surface. Tighten hex nuts (H,
Figure 8) with a 7/16” wrench. Repeat this
procedure f or other si de of t able.
4. Install the other bracket and table to the
opposite side of the base in the same
manner.
NOTE: If after adjusting the infeed/outfeed
tables, they are still too high for proper
operation, t he bracket may not be “set.” To set
the bracket, slightl y loosen the f langed hex nuts
(D, Figure 8) and firmly push down on the
bracket. Securely re-tighten the flanged hex
nuts.
If the stock being sanded is bowed, warped or
otherwise inconsistent, be sure the tables are
lower than the top of t he conveyor bed.
If stock slips on the c onv eyor, the tabl es may be
positioned t oo high. Lower tabl es to all ow stock
to remain in contac t wit h the conv ey or.
