The amperage draw meter () is used to keep
the machine from being overloaded during sanding
operations.
As a general rule, always start with a shallow sanding
depth and carefully increase the sanding depth. Keep the
amp load in the green range during operation. Generally,
the normal depth of cut is no more than
1
⁄64" or 0.016" for
a 37" wide board using coarse sandpaper. DO NOT work

When selecting sandpaper, keep in mind that the Model
W1737/W1738 accepts only 37" wide x 60" long belts.
Consider the type of work, the species of wood and
the stage of finishing. When choosing which sandpaper
to use, use these grit numbers as a general guide to
sandpaper type:
• 60 Grit or less ........................Coarse
•80-100Grit ............................Medium
•120-150Grit...........................Fine
 For best results, do not increase grit numbers
more than 50 on any successive pass.
