That means consistent performance with minimal adjusting by the operator. The drum is equipped with patented abrasive take-up fasteners that make changing the abrasive strips fast and easy. We also include our exclusive Tuf Tool™ that makes operating the take-up fasteners a no-strain event.

9 10 Troubleshooting Trouble Possible Cause Solution Sander will not start 1. Sander unplugged from wall or motor 2. Fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped 3. Cord damaged 4. Starting capacitor bad 1. Check all plug connections 2. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker 3. Replace cord 4. Replace starting capacitor Sanding drum does not come up to speed 1. Extension cord too light or too long 2. Low current 1. Replace with adequate size and length cord 2. Contact a qualified electrician Machi

If the breaker is tripped, turn the sander off and reset the circuit breaker by pressing the button (Figure 2, Item C). Be sure to turn the sander off before resetting the circuit breaker to avoid unintentionally starting the sander 9 This Page Intentionally Left Blank 10 Conveyor Belt Tracking Belt tracking adjustment may be necessary during the break-in period and normal operation to compensate for belt stretching. Abrasive belt tension must be properly adjusted before adjusting the tracking.

The depth of cut is controlled by the height adjustment handwheel. It may take some experimentation to determine the proper depth of cut, given the variables of abrasive grit, type of wood, and feed rate. For best results, use scrap wood to practice sanding and to develop skill and familiarity with the machine before doing finish work. A combination of several variables will determine the proper depth of cut to use, including the following: 1. Abrasive type and grit size. 2. Width of the piece b

A. A temporary adapter (Fig. B) may be used to connect the plug to a two- prong receptacle (Fig. B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available. A temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored lug must be fastened to the cover plate screw. Important: The adapter illustrated in Fig. B is for use only if you already have a properly grounded two-prong receptacle. Do n

6. Tension belt by pushing handle to the right. 7. Reinstall the belt guards Note: Belts stretch with wear. You may have to adjust tracking with a new belt. Belt Tracking Adjustment 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source. 2. Push the belt by hand in the direction indicated on the belt cover. Observe the belt position on the rollers. Edge of belt should remain even with the edge of the rollers. 11 3. Insert the driver with the round shaft, supplied with the machine into the micro adjusti

A good rule of thumb when sanding with grits finer than 80 is lower the drum so that it contacts with work piece but still can be rotated by hand. When using grits coarser than 80 grit, you can lower the drum slightly more. However, a combination of several variables will determine the proper depth of cut to use, including the following: • Abrasive type and grit size. • Width of the piece being processed. • Hardness of the piece. • Feed rate of stock. Establishing the Proper Drum Height To estab

All adjustments or repairs must be done with the sander disconnected from the power source, unplugged. Failure to comply may result in serious injury! The PDS-12CS disc sander is rated 115V/230V, Prewired 115V. If you want to run the PDS-12CS on 230V refer to the wiring diagram found on the inside of the switch box cover (I, Fig. 8). Before hooking up to the power source, make sure that the switch is in the off position. 11 Emptying the Collector Bag Optional Accessories .. CAUTION Wearing a par

Slide cross bar toward outboard side as shown. 4. Loosen v-belt tension by loosening pinch bolt in motor support (Figure 38) and raise motor. Remove v-belt from pulleys. 5. Install new v-belt and tension the belt by using the weight of the motor only. Make sure the pulleys are aligned. Replace transfer rod and miter gear; tighten set screw on miter gear and replace protective cap. Tighten collar on transfer rod. 6. Install the outer half of the belt guard and tighten the six screws. Rotating Dru

With a 1/8” wrench, adjust all four studs by tightening the lock nuts (Figure 28), then loosening them 1/8 to 1/4 turn. If the lock nuts are set too tight, height control will not operate easily. If the lock nuts are too loose, excessive deflection of the outboard end of the drum carriage will result. 2. Apply lubricant to front and rear areas of motor mount slide. 3. Push height adjustment handle (Figure 28) downward to set firmly on housing. Figure 27 Figure 28 18 4. Loosen set screws on colla
