Your SuperMax 19-38 Sander should now be in
place and ready for the final set-up. The sander
was adjusted and aligned at the factory. However
simple alignment checks will ensure that every-
thing is in perfect order. Problems can be avoided
if these essential checks and set-up procedures are
performed prior to operation.
CHECKING DRUM ALIGNMENT
Checking the alignment before using the sanding
drum is necessary to make sure that the drum is
parallel.
1. Remove the abrasive on the drum. Removing
the abrasive is necessary to make sure that the
adjustment is as accurate as possible and the
texture on the abrasive will make the adjust-
ment imprecise.
2. Locate the height adjustment handle for raising
and lowering the sanding head.
Remove abrasive from drum. Turning the height adjustment handle.
NOTE: HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
HANDLE
The height adjustment handle con-
trols the drum height. Turning the
handle raises or lowers the sanding
head. One revolution of the handle
raises or lowers the head by 1/16 of
an inch.
