      Ashley BrownJul 31, 2025
      If the motor of your SuperMax Sander doesn't start, first ensure the main power cord is properly plugged into the receptacle. If that's not the issue, check if the drum motor cord is plugged in, assuming your model has one. Also, inspect the circuit fuse or breaker and replace or reset it if necessary, after identifying the cause of the issue. Finally, check if the circuit meets the sander's electrical requirements.

      Tamara RubioAug 13, 2025
      If your SuperMax Sander experiences snipping of wood, ensure adequate support of the stock using roller stands. Readjust the conveyor drive or driven rollers if they are higher than the conveyor bed. Adjust the rollers if there is excessive tension roller pressure.

    What should I do if the conveyor motor stalls on my SuperMax 19-38 DRUM?
    • B
      Brian Carrillo Jr.Aug 17, 2025
      If the conveyor motor stalls on your SuperMax Sander, adjust the belt tension if the conveyor belt is too loose. If wood is slipping on the conveyor due to lack of contact, use an alternate feeding procedure.

    Why do the conveyor drive rollers run intermittently on my SuperMax 19-38 DRUM Sander?
    • T
      Traci StoneAug 21, 2025
