SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
G1066Z Control Panel
Keep loose clothing out
of the way of machinery
and keep hair pulled
back.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing all operations on the
planer. Failure to comply
may result in serious
personal injury.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any adjustments or
maintenance. Failure to
do this may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
Always wear a dust mask
when operating the
sander. Using this
machine produces saw-
dust which may cause
allergic reactions or res-
piratory problems.
NOTICE
The following section was designed to give
instructions on the basic operations of this
drum sander. However, it is in no way com-
prehensive of every drum sander applica-
tion. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you
read books, trade magazines, or get formal
training to maximize the potential of your
drum sander.

Before plugging in the Model G1066Z familiarize
yourself with the control panel.
The Model G1066Z control panel features a main
power switch, separate on/off controls for the
variable speed conveyor and the sanding drums,
a variable speed adjustment dial and an amp load
meter. Figure 17 points out each of these con-
trols.

The main power switch features an important
safety device that is very important to remember.
A twist-and-pull design in the knob helps to avoid
accidental starts; yet, in the event of an emer-
gency, the knob can be pushed straight down to
stop the machine.
Another important point to remember about the
control panel is that the feed conveyor motor and
the drum motor operate independently from each
other.
The load meter and the variable speed dial are
very important to the operation of the Model
G1066Z. Please read the “Load Meter” and the
“Variable Speed” instructions in this section
before sanding any stock.
