SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Edge & End Sanding
Figure 26. Typical edge sanding method.
Figure 26 depicts a typical edge sanding
process. The back stop can be used for shorter
workpieces if so desired.
Once the assembly is complete and the adjust-
ments 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 fin-
ger 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.
If noises occur that can not be found by visual
inspection, feel free to contact our service depart-
ment 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 assis-
tance, if needed.
Test Run

Figure 27 depicts a typical method for sanding
the end of a workpiece.
Use extreme caution when preparing for
your initial test run. Always keep one finger
on the STOP button in order to quickly shut
off the machine in the event of a malfunc-
tion.
DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the
machine while the machine is still running.
Turn off the machine and disconnect it from
its power source before attempting any
repair or adjustment. Serious operator
injury could occur if this guideline is not fol-
lowed.
