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

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/Ou tfeed Tabl es (Optional
Accessory)
The sander should be bolted to the stand or a
work table when using these table extensions.
Maximum working load of a 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 insert four carriage bol ts, (F) flat
washers (G) and hex nuts (H), as shown.
Finger tighten only .
Figure 8
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 for ot her 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 too hi gh. Lower tabl es to all ow stock
to remain in contac t wit h the conv ey or .
