G0527 18" Wide Belt Sander
Pressure Rollers
It is absolutely essential to keep the pres-
sure rollers set below the level of the sand-
ing roller. If the pressure rollers are even, or
higher than the sanding roller, the wood
could be propelled from the sander at a
high rate of speed. This situation could
cause serious personal injury.
To check the pressure roller height:
1. Disconnect the sander from the power
source!
2. Place a piece of scrap wood of uniform thick-
ness across the table so it spans both the
front and rear pressure rollers at the same
time.
3. With the air pressure connected and the
sanding belt installed and tensioned, manu-
ally raise the table and verify that the board
touches both pressure rollers before it touch-
es the sanding belt. Note—If the board does
not touch both pressure rollers before it
touches the sanding belt, then the pressure
rollers must be adjusted before operation.
See "Pressure Rollers" on page 31 for step-
by-step instructions on how to do this.
The pressure rollers have been set at the factory,
but for safety, you should verify that they are set
below the level of the sanding roller.
Before starting the machine:
1. Read this manual and make sure you take all
safety precautions before operating this
machine.
2. Make sure the machine is connected to an
air compressor and the pressure gauge
reads 75 PSI.
3. Make sure all tools or foreign objects have
been removed from the machine.
4. Review Section 3: Circuit Requirements on
page 6 and make sure all the wiring is cor-
rect.
