W1751 25" Wide-Belt Sander
OPERATIONS
Emergency Stop
When pushed, the emergency stop panel shown in
Figure 16 stops the electricity to the motors and
also applies an air-disc brake to stop the sander
immediately.
To use the emergency stop, do these steps:
1. Push the bottom of the emergency stop panel.
2. Hold the emergency stop panel until the sander has
come to a complete stop.

KEEP the sanding drum drive belts correctly adjusted.
Otherwise, the sanding drum pulley will slip when
the emergency brake is applied and not immediately
stop the machine in the event of an emergency!

Changing Sanding Belts
When selecting sanding belt grit, keep in mind that the
Model W1751 accepts only 26" wide x 48" long sanding
belts. Consider the type of work, the species of wood,
and the quality of finish when selecting sandpaper. Use
these grit numbers shown in
Figure 15 as a general
guide to sandpaper type.
Sanding belts are often slightly different in shape and
tracking properties will be different for each belt.
Refer
to the Jet Airflow, Belt Tracking
and Belt Oscillation
procedures starting on Page 23 so you can learn how to
quickly reset belt tracking and oscillation.
Note: For best results, do not increase
grit numbers more than 50 on any
successive pass
.
• 60 Grit or less ...................Coarse
• 80-100 Grit ...................... Medium
• 120-150 Grit ..................... Fine
• 220 or higher ...... Not Recommended
Sandpaper will load up and burn.
Figure 15. General sandpaper types.
If you must use the emergency stop panel to stop
the sander, you may hear the belts squeal, and smell
a burnt rubber odor coming from the right side of
the sander. The noise and smell is a normal result
because the brake aggressively stops the sander.
Only use the emergency push panel to stop the
sander in an emergency situation. Do not use it for
normal shutdown. If you do, you will wear out the
belts, brake pads, caliper, and rotor very quickly.
