Test Run
Once assembly is complete, the machine is
ready for a test run. The purpose of a test run
is to identify any unusual noises and vibrations,
as well as to confirm that the machine is
performing as intended.
To complete the test run, do these steps:
1. Tie back loose clothing and hair, and wear
a respirator and safety glasses.
2. Apply power to the sander and connect the
supply air to the sander. Make sure the air
pressure is set at 57 PSI.
3. Make sure the sanding belt is tensioned.
4. Make sure all access doors and handles are
secured.
5. Start the dust collection system.
6. Turn the sander and feed belt ON.
7. Listen for any unusual noises. The machine
should run smoothly with little or no
vibrations.
• If there are any unusual noises or
vibrations, shut the machine off
immediately. TURN-OFF and LOCK the
master power switch so no power can go
to your sander, and disconnect the air
line.
• Investigate the source of the noise or
vibration. DO NOT make any adjustments
to the machine while it is plugged in. The
machine should not be run any further
until the problems are corrected.

Selecting Sandpaper
When selecting sandpaper, keep in mind that
the Model W1709 accepts only 20
1
⁄2" W x 48" L
belts. Consider the type of work, the species of
wood and the stage of finishing. Use these
numbers as a general guide to sandpaper type:
• 60 Grit....................................Coarse
• 80-100 Grit ..............................Medium
• 120-150 Grit ............................Fine
For best results, do not increase grit numbers
more than 50 on any successive pass.
OPERATIONS
