== Notes == | |||
*For oily or dense woods (tropical hardwoods, etc), take only very light passes to prevent clogging the sandpaper. | |||
*Use a belt cleaner occasionally to refresh the sandpaper | |||
== Safety == | |||
This sander features overload detection. If the machine detects too high a load, it will automatically slow down the feed. This saves wear and tear on the machine, but may cause burning of the workpiece if you cut too aggressively. | |||
*The height adjustment on this machine is VERY aggressive. A full turn will raise the table by more than 2mm (a typical cut should be < .5mm). '''PLEASE USE A MAXIMUM OF 1/8 TURN OF THE HEIGHT WHEEL PER PASS!''' | |||
* Make your first cuts with a very slow speed (10 or less). Once you are sure the load is OK you can gradually increase the speed on subsequent passes. | |||
*When overload detection kicks in, a red light next to the speed control will turn on. '''IF YOU SEE THIS LIGHT, PLEASE REDUCE YOUR DEPTH OF CUT AND/OR FEED RATE!''' | |||
*Like all of our other sanders, sleeves must be above the elbow, and no gloves should be worn. It's pretty easy to get pulled into the rollers. | |||
