using the screw behind it.
Dust Collection
Dust collection is mandatory for a safe work
environment and extended abrasive life. The 22-
44 Plus is equipped with a 4” dust collection port
at the top of the dust cover. It is designed to be
used with standard 4” dust collection hose
connected to a high volume dust collector
(minimum 500 CFM), as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7
WMH Tool Group offers a variety of Dust
Collectors and Air Filtration Units. Contact your
local distributor for more information.
Installing Abrasives
An 80-grit abrasive strip is already installed on
the drum of your sander. Page 23 offers
information on other abrasives available and
their recommended uses.
Proper attachment of the abrasive strip to the
drum is critical to achieving top performance
from your drum sander. Abrasive strips do not
have to be pre-measured. The end of the roll is
first tapered and attached to the left (outboard)
side of the drum. Then the strip is wrapped
around the drum, and the second taper is made
for attachment to the right (inboard) side of the
drum.
Figure 8
(not applicable to “Ready-To-Wrap” strips)
NOTE: When using Ready To WrapTM
abrasives, not all of the steps below are
necessary. You can use the original abrasive
strip mounted to the drum as a template for
cutting your own strips.
1. Mark and cut a taper at one end of the roll
as shown in Figure 8. Because the tapered
end should use all of the left (outboard) slot
width, its end must be trimmed back as
shown.
Figure 9
2. Raise the fastener lever (D, Figure 9) on the
outboard end of drum, and insert the
tapered end of the abrasive (E, Figure 9) so
that it uses most of the width of the slot.
Release the fastener lever to securely hold
the strip end to the fastener.
3. Begin wrapping the strip around the drum.
The tapered edge of the strip end should
follow the edge of the drum.
4. Continue to wrap the abrasive in a spiral
fashion by rotating the drum with one hand
and guiding the strip with the other (Figure
10).
Figure 10
11
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Successive windings of the strip should be
flush with previous windings without any
overlap.
5. Mark the trailing end of the strip where it
crosses the right (inboard) end of the drum
(Figure 11).
6. Remove the abrasive strip from the drum,
and cut a taper as was done with the
starting edge (see Figure 8). Note: The
taper on the remaining roll can be used as
the taper for the starting edge of the next
strip to be cut.
Figure 11
7. Rewrap the drum beginning at the left, as
described in steps 2-4 .
8. You can use your fingers to work the infeed
take-up fastener, but it will be more
convenient to use the TUFTool supplied
with your sander. Hold the TUFTool with the
red end pointing away from you (Figure 12)
and insert its hook into the outside hole of
the fastener lever (see Figure 14).
9. Lift the lever with the TUFTool, pulling the
lever up until it touches the inside of the
drum.
10. Turn the TUFTool counterclockwise and
lower it onto the abrasive strip, making sure
it is holding the paper tight (Figure 13).
Figure 12
11. Insert the tapered end of the abrasive strip
into the slot and fastener. It may be
necessary to trim the tapered end of the
abrasive strip so that it does not “bottom
out” against the inside of the drum.
IMPORTANT: Leave a gap – at least 1/8” –
between the tapered strip and the closed
end of the slot (Figure 13) to allow strip to
be pulled into the fastener as needed. If
necessary, trim the outside edge of the
abrasive strip.
12. Hold the abrasive in place with your left
hand, lift up the TUFTool and turn it
Figure 13
clockwise
while
maintaining
upward
pressure. Slowly move the TUFTool away
from you slightly, then down, while easing it
out of the hole. This releases the lever in its
proper position (Figure 14).
All abrasive strips will stretch in use and may
stretch enough to allow the take-up lever to
reach its lowest position so that it can not
maintain tension on the strip. If this occurs,
follow the above procedures to re-set the take-
up lever.
Always remove TUFTool from machine before
operating.

Grounding Instructions
Electrical connections must
qualified electrician in
be made by
a
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor, with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes, is the equipment-
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only
three wire extension cords that have three-prong
grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
As received from the factory, your drum sander
is intended for use on a 20 amp, 110V dedicated
circuit, which has an outlet and a plug that look
like the ones illustrated in Figure 15. A
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Figure 16, may be used to connect
this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in
Figure 16, if a properly grounded outlet is not
available.
Figure 15
The temporary adapter should only be used until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. This adapter is not
applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid
ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter,
must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in
Figure 16.

Drum height is controlled by the height
adjustment handwheel. Rotating the handwheel
counterclockwise lowers the drum; clockwise
raises it.
Figure 17
One revolution of the handwheel moves the
drum approximately 1/16”.
Switch Lockout
Unauthorized use of the sander can be
prevented by pulling out the key (Figure 18).
Press switch to OFF position before removing
the key. When the key is removed, the drum can
not be started. (Note, however, that the
conveyor belt can still run when the key is
removed).
Figure 18
To replace the key, slide it back into the switch
until it snaps.
Depth Gauge
The depth gauge indicates the distance between
the bottom of the sanding drum and the top of
the conveyor surface. Adjustment is performed
by “zeroing” the gauge.
1. Loosen screw (A, Figure 19) sufficiently to
allow the pointer (B) to be turned to depth
gauge scale.
2. With an abrasive strip on the drum, lower
sanding drum to where it touches top of
conveyor belt.
3. At this drum position, the depth gauge
pointer (B) should align with the zero mark
of the scale. If it does not, loosen screw (A)
and raise or lower pointer to align with zero
on the scale.
Figure 19
4. Re-tighten screw (A).
Note: Depending on the desired accuracy, you
may need to repeat this process when installing
different abrasive grits.

Conveyor Belt Tension and Tracking
Conveyor belt tension adjustment may be
necessary during the break-in period to
compensate for belt stretching.
IMPORTANT: The conveyor belt has been over-
tensioned for the purpose of shipping. Before
operating the sander, adjust the belt tension
according to the following instructions!
Tension. To adjust the tension of the conveyor
belt, first adjust the take-up screw nut (A, Figure
20) using the attached wrench (B, Figure 20).
Do this on both sides of the conveyor to obtain
approximately equal tension on both sides of the
belt when taut. Insufficient belt tension will
cause slippage of conveyor belt on the drive
roller during sanding operation; the conveyor
belt is too loose if it can be stopped by hand
pressure applied directly to the top of the
conveyor belt. Excessive belt tension can result
in bent rollers, bent brackets, and/or premature
wearing of the bushings or belt.
Figure 20
Tracking. Belt tracking adjustments are made
while the conveyor belt is running. After the
proper belt tension is obtained (see above), turn
the conveyor on and set it at the fastest speed
setting. Watch for a tendency of the conveyor
belt to drift to one side of the conveyor. To
adjust tracking, tighten the take-up screw nut on
the side toward which the belt is drifting, and
loosen the take-up screw nut on the opposite
side an equal amount.
Adjusting the take-up screw nuts on either side
of the conveyor allows belt tracking adjustments
to be made without affecting belt tension.
NOTE: Adjust take-up screw nuts only 1/4 turn
at a time. Then allow time for the belt to react to
the adjustments before proceeding further. Try
to avoid over adjustments.
Trackers
The sander comes equipped with “Trackers”,
ceramic guides that reduce the amount of
adjustments needed to keep the conveyor belt
tracked (centered) on the conveyor bed. These
guides have a magnetic backing to keep them in
place. If a Tracker wears through, it can be
reversed by turning it over. Page 22 contains
more information about re-setting trackers.
Conveyor Belt Replacement
1. Unplug the machine from the wall
receptacle, and unplug the motor cord from
the control box receptacle.
2. Raise drum to its highest position using the
handwheel.
15
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
3. Loosen the conveyor take-up screw nuts (A,
Figure 20) to relieve belt tension, and slide
the driven roller fully inward.
4. Remove the four bolts that attach the
conveyor table to the base. Lift up the
conveyor table and remove it from machine.
Avoid tearing the belt on any edges
underneath the conveyor bed.
5. Install new belt, and re-install conveyor
table. Take care not to damage the
Trackers. Tension and track the new belt.
NOTE: If the conveyor belt continually tracks to
one side of the machine, reversing the belt on
the conveyor bed may remedy the problem. To
make sure the conveyor bed is not twisted,
place a level on the conveyor bed. Level the
machine if needed. If there is still a problem,
proceed with the steps below:
Step 1: Check the conveyor drive roller and the
driven roller to make sure they are parallel to the
surface of the conveyor bed. To do this, first
center the conveyor belt on the bed. Then lay a
straight-edge on the exposed edge of the
conveyor bed on the left (outboard) side,
extending it over the roller. Note the distance
between the roller and the straightedge.
Step 2: Now repeat Step 1 on the right (inboard)
side of conveyor. Compare the measurements
from side to side. If they are not equal, loosen
one of the brackets that hold the roller in place.
Tip this bracket until the distance between the
roller and the straight-edge are equal from side
to side, then tighten the bracket.
Checking Drum Alignment
The sanding drum must be aligned parallel to
the conveyor bed for proper machine operation.
The sanding drum comes preset from the
factory. If a problem with the drum alignment
occurs, follow the instructions below.
First inspect the alignment with a gauge of some
kind. The following procedure uses a steel
straight edge as a gauge.
1. Unplug sander from power source.
2. Open the dust cover and remove the
abrasive strip from the drum.
3. Insert the gauge between the drum and
conveyor bed at the outer end of the drum
(Figure 21). With the dust cover open, lower
sanding drum while slowly rotating drum by
hand until the drum lightly contacts the
thickness gauge.
Figure 21
4. Remove thickness gauge and place under
drum at the other end.

5. If the drum does not contact the thickness
gauge to the same degree as the opposite
end of the drum, alignment is necessary.
To align the drum:
1. Loosen the four 3/8” hex cap screws – two
front, two rear (A, Figure 22). This allows the
entire drum carriage and shroud to be
pivoted on two screws – one screw in front,
one in back.
2. Lay the thickness gauge under the drum
lengthwise. See Figure 23. Rotate the fine
tune adjustment knob (B, Figure 22) until
the drum contacts the gauge equally along
its entire surface. Rotate the knob clockwise
to raise the outboard end of the drum,
counterclockwise to lower the outboard end
of the drum. Use the height adjustment
handwheel to raise or lower the entire drum.
Figure 22
(conveyor table removed for clarity)
3. When drum is parallel to conveyor, tighten
the four screws (A, Figure 22).
Fine Tuning Drum Alignment
NOTE: This is an operational test. Perform this
alignment after you have become familiar with
sander operation.
When sanding boards wider than the drum,
drum alignment is critical and must be adjusted
exactly level to slightly higher on the outboard
end. This will prevent any ridges from
developing in the stock. Always check this on a
piece of scrap wood, as follows, before sanding
the work piece.
Figure 23
1. Run a piece of scrap wood approximately 6”
wide by 30” to 40” long through the sander
sideways so that the end of the board
extends past the end of the drum.
2. Without changing drum height, rotate the
board 180° and sand the same side.
3. If a ridge is visible where the drum overlaps,
loosen the four screws (A, Figure 22) and
raise the outboard end of the drum by
turning the fine tune adjustment knob (B,
Figure 22) slightly clockwise.
Important: Only turn fine tune adjustment knob
when all four screws (A, Figure 22) are loose.
4. Repeat this process until the ridge is
eliminated and the entire board is sanded.
5. Tighten the four screws (A, Figure 23).

NOTE: Keep track of how many revolutions of
the fine tune knob are needed to change drum
alignment for wider (over 22”) sanding. When
sanding narrow stock (less than 22”) loosen the
four screws (Figure 22) and turn fine tune
adjustment knob counterclockwise the same
amount as the initial wide sanding so that drum
is again parallel.
Tension Roller Alignment
The infeed and outfeed rollers are tensioned to
provide downward pressure on the workpiece to
prevent slippage on the feed conveyor. Tension
rollers are set at the factory, but should be
inspected and may require adjustment as the
sander receives use.
Improperly adjusted tension
rollers (i.e. those set too high, rendering
them non-functional) could allow kick-back
of pieces being sanded.
1. Unplug sander from power source and
remove abrasive (D, Figure 24) from drum.
Figure 24
2. Loosen all four hex nuts on the bearing bolts
(E, Figure 24). This will allow both tension
rollers to drop to their lowest position.
(NOTE: Figure 24 only shows outboard end
of drum. Adjustments must be made on both
ends of drum.)
3. Lower sanding drum to where it just
contacts the conveyor bed. Then raise the
sanding drum by making 3/4 turn of the
height adjustment handle.
4. Tighten the four hex nuts (E, Figure 24).
Both tension rollers are now positioned
about 1/16” below the bottom of the sanding
drum.
Tension Roller Pressure Adjustment
You can increase or decrease tension roller
pressure by turning the screws on the tension
roller brackets (Figure 25).
Too much tension roller pressure can result in a
“snipe” mark, which is identified as a visible line
running across the width of the board and
located approximately 2-1/4” from the end of the
board.
If the snipe occurs on the leading end of the
board, adjust the outfeed tension roller. If the
snipe occurs on the trailing end of the board,
adjust the infeed tension roller.
Figure 25
Tension roller pressure can also be adjusted by
raising the height of the rollers, as follows:

Basic Operating Procedure
1. Repeat “Tension Roller Alignment” except
raise the sanding drum only 1/4 turn of the
height adjustment handle.
1. Set depth of cut.
2. Start dust collection system.
3. Start drum.
2. If both tension rollers are causing snipe then
tighten all four hex nuts (E, Figure 24) at this
position.
4. Start conveyor and select feed rate.
5. Feed stock through machine.
3. If only outfeed tension roller causes snipe,
only tighten rear (outfeed) hex nuts on each
end of drum at this position, then raise
sanding drum another 3/4 turn of the handle.
To feed stock through the sander, rest and hold
the board to be sanded on the conveyor belt,
allowing the conveyor belt to carry the board into
the drum. Once the stock is halfway through,
reposition yourself to the outfeed side of the
machine to receive and control the board as it
exits.
4. Press infeed tension roller down to rest on
conveyor bed and tighten front (infeed) hex
nuts at this position.
This process sets the tension roller assembly at
an angle providing less tension pressure on the
outfeed roller.
Setting Depth of Cut
Adjusting the drum sander for the proper contact
between the abrasive and the stock determines
the depth of cut. The depth of cut is controlled
by the height adjustment handwheel.
Drum Height Control Adjustment
If the height control mechanism does not
operate easily or smoothly, or there is excessive
vertical movement or deflection of the drum
carriage, perform the following adjustments.
It may take some experimentation to determine
the proper depth of cut, given the variables of
abrasive grit, type of wood, and feed rate. For
best results, use scrap wood to practice sanding
and to develop skill and familiarity with the
machine before doing finish work.
1. Tighten all four lock nuts (A, Figure 26) and
then loosen them 1/8 to 1/4 turn. If the lock
nuts are set too tight, height control will not
operate easily. If the lock nuts are too loose,
excessive deflection of the outboard end of
the drum carriage will result.
A
combination of several variables will
determine the proper depth of cut to use,
including the following:
1. Abrasive type and grit size.
2. Width of the piece being processed.
3. Hardness of the piece.
2. Thoroughly lubricate the mating surfaces of
the motor mount slide (B, Figure 26), and
the height adjustment screw (C, Figure 26).
4. Feed rate of the conveyor belt.
Establishing Proper Drum Height
A good rule of thumb when sanding with grits
finer than 80 is to place the stock to be sanded
under the drum and lower drum until it contacts
the stock. Drum should still rotate by hand.
Without changing drum height, finish feeding
the stock under the sander.
Start sanding drum and sand the stock at that
same position.
Do not start drum while in
contact with stock!
Figure 26
Operation
For sanding with grits coarser than 80, you can
raise the conveyor table slightly.
Before using your drum sander, review the
previous pages in this manual on initial set-up
and adjustment. In this section, you will learn
how to operate the machine. Make sure an
abrasive strip is mounted and a proper dust
collection system is connected.
Always maintain control of stock. Through
practice you will learn the proper depth of cut
considering the variables above.

decreasing the depth of cut and run the stock
through again.
Selecting SandSmart™ Feed Rates
A faster feed rate allows faster sanding but
fewer revolutions of the drum per inch of
sanding. A slower feed rate provides more
revolutions of the drum per inch of sanding to
allow a greater depth of cut and smooth
sanding.
Also try a faster feed rate or less depth of cut if
the stock you are working begins to show burn
marks. With cherry, hard maple or other
hardwoods, using a shallower depth of cut and a
faster feed rate will help minimize burn marks.
Slightly angling the stock as it is fed into the
machine will also help prevent burning the stock.
Begin experimenting with the feed rate set at
about 40% to 50% of maximum. The best feed
rate will depend on a number of factors,
including type of stock, grit and depth of cut
used, and whether the stock is fed directly in line
with the conveyor bed or at an angle. If the drum
motor is lugging down, if the conveyor belt is
slipping, or if you observe a ripple effect on the
stock, slow down the feed rate. If the finish is
smooth and the machine is not overworking, you
can experiment using a faster feed rate.
Because of the wide range of variables, it is
important to experiment with your specific
conditions and make adjustments to achieve the
optimum feed rate. If problems occur, first
check and adjust the feed rate, referring to the
“Troubleshooting” sections in this manual.
Tips for Maximum Performance
The versatility designed into the 22-44 Pro drum
sander allows it to be used for a wide variety of
tasks that will boost the return on your
investment. For example, its capabilities range
from taking the place of a planer to thickness
rough stock, to speeding up fine sanding work
often done with slower, dust-generating hand
sanders.
The SandSmart control continuously monitors
the load on the drum motor, and automatically
regulates the speed of the conveyor motor to
maintain the highest feed rate without overload.
If the load on the drum motor increases, the
SandSmart control will decrease the conveyor
feed rate and will stop the conveyor under
extreme conditions. If the load on the drum
decreases, SandSmart will increase the feed
rate but will not increase it faster than the
manual setting on the speed adjustment label.
Learning how to use its adjustments and
controls will allow you to fine-tune the machine
for maximum results. The best results come
from experimenting with different abrasive grits
and machine adjustments to fit the job at hand.
Following is a list of useful tips which can help
you improve performance of your sander.
Dust Collection
When connecting dust collectors, remember that
straight pipe will not restrict airflow as much as
flexible tubing. Y’s and elbows will restrict airflow
less than T’s. Also, a hose smaller than 2-1/2”
diameter should not be used.
Multiple-Piece Sanding Runs
When abrasive planing (or thickness sanding) a
run of similar pieces that you want to have the
same thickness, it is best to determine the
thickness of the thinnest piece and process all
pieces to that same thickness in one session. Be
aware that the sander will remove cups and
crowns in the workpiece; consider this when
measuring and processing stock to the same
thickness.
Figure 27
The best and most consistent finish will be
achieved if the conveyor does not change speed
during operation. When the red indicator light (B,
Figure 27) comes on, the SandSmart control has
detected too great a depth of cut and/or too fast
a feed rate.
Sanding Multiple Pieces At Once
When sanding multiple pieces simultaneously,
make sure to stagger (step) the pieces across
the width of the conveyor belt. This provides
better contact with the tension rollers. Try to
process only multiple pieces of similar thickness.
This change in conveyor speed may affect the
finish surface. If the finish is affected, make
another sanding pass without changing any
settings. If the finish is still affected, make
adjustments by slowing the conveyor and/or
20

If there is a significant thickness difference, the
thinner pieces can slip on the conveyor belt if
they do not contact the tension rollers. Also note
that pieces thicker than 3/4” should be longer
than the minimum normally recommended to
prevent tipping of the stock.
Angling the workpiece for stock removal
provides other advantages, such as less loading
of certain areas of the drums due to glue lines or
mineral streaks in the stock, more even wear of
abrasive strips, potentially faster feed rates, and
lighter loads on the motor. Note that to get the
best final finish, however, the stock should be
fed through the machine so it will be sanded in
line with the grain of the wood on the final one or
two passes.
Edge Sanding
When edge sanding, the sander will mimic the
opposite edge of the stock which is lying on the
conveyor belt. Because of this, it is important for
the stock edge to have been ripped at the proper
angle to the face before the sanding process.
When edge sanding stock that is less than 3/4”
wide or more than 2” high, it is good procedure
to stack and clamp several pieces together to
prevent them from slipping or tipping on the
conveyor belt.
Maintenance
Before doing maintenance on
the machine, disconnect it from the electrical
supply by pulling out the plug or switching
off the main switch! Failure to comply may
cause serious injury.
Sanding Imperfect Stock
When sanding stock with a cup or crown, place
the crown up. This will stabilize the stock to help
prevent tipping or rocking during sanding. After
the crown has been removed and the top is flat,
turn the stock over and sand the opposite side.
To avoid personal injury, take special care when
sanding stock that is twisted, bowed, or
otherwise varies in thickness from end to end. If
possible, support such stock as it is being
sanded to keep it from slipping or tipping. Use
extra roller stands, help from another person, or
hand pressure on the stock, to minimize
potentially hazardous situations.
Keeping the Machine Clean
For best results, make cleaning the sander a
regular shop procedure. Allowing excess build-
up of dust and debris can adversely affect
performance through the loading of the
abrasives, slippage on the conveyor table,
and/or the accumulation of material inside the
drums which can throw off the center of balance.
Leave the dust collector on when cleaning dust
from the drums. Also brush the conveyor belt
after cleaning operations. If not cleaned, the
conveyor belt could allow stock to slip during
sanding operations.
Face Frames and Raised Panel Doors
For best results, perform the following
It is very important to have the proper abrasive
contact when doing this type of sanding. If the
machine is set to take an excessive depth of cut,
the result can be a gouge or dip as the drum
goes from sanding the rails at full width to
sanding just a few inches of width on the stiles.
To prevent this, make sure that when using
abrasives finer than 80 grit the drum is in contact
with the wood but can still be spun by hand. If
there is room, angling the stock on the conveyor
belt can also help. Slowing the conveyor feed
when coming to a rail in the stock can help
prevent a dip or gouge. This allows the abrasive
to work the wider width with less effort, and to
achieve better consistency of the finished
surface.
recommended procedures on a monthly basis:
•
Lubricate conveyor bushings and check for
wear.
•
Lubricate all moving parts, such as threaded
rods, washers, and bushings. (Bearings are
pre-sealed and require no lubrication.)
•
•
Clean sawdust from the abrasive strip and
brush dust from the conveyor belt.
Blow dust from motors and switches. Blow
dust from inside of sanding drum, which may
cause vibration or offset the center of
balance.
•
Check all set screws for tightness on parts
such as bearings, the conveyor, and
couplings.
Stock Feeding Angle
Some pieces, because of their dimensions, will
need to be fed into the machine at a 90° angle
(perpendicular to the drum). However, even a
slight offset angle of the stock will provide for
more effective stock removal. The optimum
feeding angle for stock removal is about 60°.

8. Install second Tracker opposite the first. Use
both Trackers unless the second one does
not fit in conveyor or if conveyor belt is
damaged.
Tracker Kit (98-0080)
Trackers dramatically reduce tracking adjust-
ments of conveyor belts. They are already
installed on your sander. The following
information is for re-setting or replacing your
trackers, should that become necessary. Refer
to Figure 28.
9. Turn conveyor table right-side up and re-
position it onto the sander. Re-attach the
four mounting bolts and tighten. Caution:
Be careful not to knock Tracker(s) out of
conveyor bed when turning conveyor over.
1. Disconnect power to sander, and disconnect
motor cord from control box receptacle.
10. Make sure all switches are off. Connect
power to sander and plug in motor.
2. Lower conveyor table as far as it will go.
11. Tension the conveyor belt using take-up
screw nuts. If both Trackers are installed, it
is very important to have equal tension on
both sides of the conveyor belt. Tighten both
sides of take-up screw nuts until equal
tension is obtained.
3. Loosen the conveyor take-up screw nuts to
relieve conveyor belt tension and slide
driven roller fully inward. Slide conveyor belt
to one side of bed.
4. Remove the four bolts holding the conveyor
table to the sander base.
12. To check tension, turn on conveyor full
speed and place both hands on conveyor. If
conveyor belt can be stopped, continue
tensioning until conveyor belt cannot be
stopped by both hands on the belt while the
conveyor is operating at full speed.
5. Lift conveyor table and slide it out of the
sander. Turn conveyor table upside down.
Be careful not to damage the conveyor belt.
6. On the underside of the conveyor bed, there
are U-channels welded to the bed. The
Tracker is positioned on the inside of the
first U-channel on the infeed side of sander
(the U-channel closest to the rubber covered
drive roller and gear motor). The back of the
Tracker is magnetized and will stick to the
side wall of the conveyor bed. Do not install
Tracker if the edge of the conveyor belt is
damaged or torn.
13. Make sure conveyor belt runs smoothly
inside Tracker slot and that the magnet is
holding the Tracker in position.
14. Continue to watch tracking of conveyor and
adjust only if necessary, making sure to
keep equal tension on conveyor belt at all
times and not allowing conveyor belt to
buckle under conveyor bed.
7. With the first Tracker installed, slide the
conveyor belt into the bottom slot of the
Tracker. Note: When installed properly, only
the bottom lip of the Tracker will be visible.
The top slot is to be used if the bottom slot
wears out.

In general, premium quality abrasives will
produce a better finish with a less noticeable
scratch pattern.
Abrasives
The abrasive material you choose will have a
substantial effect on the performance of your
sander. Variations in paper type, weight, coating
and durability all contribute to achieving your
desired finish.
NOTE: Grits that are too fine can sometimes
burnish the wood and leave a glossy surface
which will not accept stains evenly. This will vary
by type of wood. Oak, for example, is
susceptible to burnishing because of its open
pores.
JET Abrasives are available in Ready-To-
WrapTM pre-cut lengths or in the convenient
Ready-To-Cut pre-marked box. Your JET dealer
can recommend the best choice for your
application.
Cleaning Abrasive Strips
Regularly clean the abrasive strips on the drums
with commercially available cleaning sticks,
following the manufacturer’s directions. When
cleaning, also brush the stick crumbs from the
drum while it is still rotating.
Selecting Drum Abrasives
It is important to select the proper grit of
abrasive for the type of sanding being performed
to achieve maximum results. As with any
sanding operation, first begin sanding with a
coarser grit, depending upon the roughness of
the stock or the amount of stock to be removed.
Then progressively work toward finer grits. The
chart (Figure 29) shows the general uses for the
various grits. JET offers abrasives in the ten
different grits shown – consult the stock
numbers on page 28 to order.
In some cases, build-ups resulting from burns
can also be removed with Plexiglas held on
edge over the rotating drum.
Always wear eye protection
while performing sandpaper cleaning, and
take all precautions to avoid any contact of
hands or clothing with the rotating drum.
Cloth-backed abrasives can be cleaned by
soaking in paint thinner or mineral spirits for 20
minutes to 1 hour, then using a brush to remove
any build-up. Dry the abrasive strips completely
before using. Any used solvents should be
discarded in compliance with environmental
regulations.
The amount of stock to be removed is a major
consideration when choosing the grit grade with
which to begin. Grits 24, 36, 50 and 60 are
primarily designed for stock removal. Grits 24
and 36 will remove the most material in one
pass, whether you are doing abrasive planing,
cleaning up glued panels, or flattening stock.
Grits from 100 through 220 are primarily
finishing grits designed to remove the scratch
pattern from the previous grit used. For best
results, never skip more than one grit grade
when progressing through a sanding sequence.
Increasing Abrasive Life
Abrasive life can be increased not only by
cleaning, but by removing the abrasive strip from
the drum and reversing it. To do this, remove the
strip and use what was the trailing end as the
starting end on the left (outboard) side of the
drum. Reversing the strip will provide a fresh set
of cutting edges on the abrasive.
For fine work, such as furniture, try not to skip
any grit grades during the sanding process.
