MAXIMIZING ABRASIVE LONGEVITY
A sandpaper cleaning stick may be used to remove deposits and help extend the life of the abrasive.
1. To use the cleaning stick, operate the sanding drum with the dust cover open and dust collection on.

tion to determine the proper depth of cut. We recommend practicing on a scrap of wood prior to sanding a project.
• Digital Read-Out Operation
For added convenience a digital read out (DRO) for sanding thickness
is included as standard equipment with this unit. A DRO offers the
most precise reading of sanded thickness and allows for accurate re-
peatability of a thickness. This is great when making parts that must
be an exact thickness or when matching a thickness.
1.
button to select between the standard inch or metric millimeter
settings – the inches setting shows readings in both decimal places and fractions.
2. With abrasive installed, lower the drum until it touches the conveyor belt. Then press and hold the “ZERO” but-
ton to calibrate the DRO to absolute zero. The DRO is now set to read sanding thickness.
3.
once again take its reading from absolute zero as calibrated in step 2.
4. The SET button allows selection in inches mode from either 1/32", 1/64", or 1/128' depending on the level of
precision required.
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHILE PERFORMING ABRASIVE CLEANING
