  If the drum motor of your Jet Sander won't start when activated, several issues could be the cause. First, check the connections at the plug or circuit panel to ensure there is incoming current. Verify that the safety key is properly installed in the switch. Low voltage could also be a factor, so check the power line for proper voltage. Inspect all lead connections on the motor for any loose or open connections. Finally, the switch itself might be malfunctioning, in which case it should be replaced.

  If the drum motor of your Jet Sander overheats, it could be due to restricted air circulation through the motor. Clean the motor fan with compressed air to restore normal air circulation. Alternatively, the motor might be overloaded because the SandSmart feature isn't working correctly. In this case, you should have the controls inspected and repaired.

  If the abrasive strip keeps coming off the drum of your Jet Sander, it could be due to slack in the abrasive strip. Make sure to remove any slack when installing the strip. Another possibility is that the abrasive was improperly wrapped. Refer to the section on installing abrasives and rewrap the strip correctly.

Why is my Jet Sander burning the wood?

  Paul WellsAug 27, 2025
  If your Jet Sander is burning the wood, it could be due to several reasons. Check if the abrasive strip is overlapped and re-wrap it if necessary. The abrasive might be loaded, so try cleaning it. If you're using a fine grit with an excessive depth of cut, switch to a coarser grit or reduce the depth of cut. Also, ensure your feed rate isn't too slow and that the abrasive isn't worn out; if it is, replace it.
