SECTION 1: SAFETY  
For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction  
Manual Before Operating this Machine  
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This  
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of  
importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember  
that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper  
accident prevention measures.  
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
WILL result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
COULD result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert  
against unsafe practices.  
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about  
proper operation of the machine.

Additional Safety for Drum Sanders  
1. FEEDING STOCK. DO NOT allow anyone  
to stand directly in front of this sander when  
feeding your stock. Never sand more than  
one piece of stock at a time.  
6. DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM. Never  
operate the sander without an adequate  
dust collection system in place and run-  
ning.  
DO NOT jam the workpiece into the  
machine during operation. Firmly grasp the  
workpiece in both hands and ease it into  
the machine using light pressure.  
7. BE ATTENTIVE. Never leave the machine  
running unattended.  
8. REPLACING SANDING PAPER. Replace  
sanding paper when it becomes worn or  
damaged.  
2. MINIMUM STOCK DIMENSIONS. DO NOT  
1
sand any stock thinner than 8", narrower  
than 18", or shorter than 8". DO NOT sand  
thin stock by using a “dummy” board under  
your workpiece.  
9. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. Any  
problem, with the exception of convey-  
or belt tracking that is concerned with  
any moving parts or accessories, must be  
investigated and corrected with the power  
disconnected, and after all moving parts  
have come to a complete stop.  
3. CLOTHING. DO NOT wear loose clothing  
while operating this machine. Roll up or  
button sleeves at the cuff.  
4. HAND PROTECTION. DO NOT place  
hands near, or in contact with, sanding  
drums during operation. DO NOT allow  
fingers to get pinched between board and  
conveyor belt during operation. This may  
pull the operator’s hand into the machine  
and cause serious injury or death!  
10. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS.  
Never attempt to adjust conveyor belt track-  
ing when the sanding drums are running.  
Perform machine inspections and main-  
tenance service promptly when called for.  
Disconnect power before performing main-  
tenance or adjustments on the sander.  
5. INSPECTING WORKPIECES. Always  
inspect one workpiece at a time for nails,  
staples, knots, and other imperfections that  
could be dislodged and thrown from the  
machine during sanding operations.  
11. RESPIRATOR AND SAFETY GLASSES.  
Always wear a respirator and safety glass-  
es while operating the machine. Dust and  
chips are created when sanding. Some  
debris will be ejected, becoming hazards to  
the eyes and lungs.  
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.  
Every shop environment is different. Always  
consider safety first, as it applies to your  
individual working conditions. Use this and  
other machinery with caution and respect.  
Failure to do so could result in serious per-  
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor  
work results.  
Like all machines there is danger associ-  
ated with the Model G0459. Accidents are  
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or  
failure to pay attention. Use this machine  
with respect and caution to lessen the pos-  
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety  
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-  
ous personal injury may occur.

This drum sander requires a minimum of 400  
CFM AT THE DUST PORT.  
The crank handle is installed on the front right  
lift screw shaft, and is held in place with two set  
screws already threaded into the handle.  
Note: Do not confuse this CFM recommendation  
with the rating of the dust collector. To determine  
the CFM at the dust port, you must take into  
account many variables, including the rating of  
the dust collector, the length of hose between the  
dust collector and the machine, the amount of  
branches or wyes, and the amount of other open  
lines throughout the system.  
To mount the handwheel:  
1. Place the crank handle over the shaft shown  
in Figure 6 and, using a 3mm hex wrench,  
secure the handle with the two set screws.  
A fine layer of dust will be present on your stock  
as it comes out of the sander. This is normal.  
To connect the dust port to a dust collector:  
1. Remove the four Phillips head screws at the  
dust port hole.  
2. Place the 212" dust port over the top cover  
mounting holes and secure with the Phillips  
head screws removed in Step 1 as shown in  
Figure 7.  
Figure 6. Crank handle installation.  
3. Attach a 212" dust collection hose to the dust  
port and secure it with a hose clamp.

Test Run  
Recommended  
Adjustments  
Now that the machine is connected to the power  
source, it is important to perform a test run to  
make sure all the controls are working properly.  
For your convenience, the adjustments listed  
below have been performed at the factory and  
no further setup is required to operate your  
machine.  
Before starting the sander, make sure you  
have performed the preceding assembly  
and adjustment instructions, and you have  
read through the rest of the manual and  
are familiar with the various functions and  
safety issues associated with this machine.  
Failure to follow this warning could result in  
serious personal injury or even death!  
However, because of the many variables involved  
with shipping, some of these adjustments may  
need to be repeated to ensure optimum results.  
Keep this in mind as you start to use your new  
drum sander.  
Step-by-step instructions for these adjust-  
ments can be found in SECTION 7: SERVICE  
ADJUSTMENTS.  
To test run the sander:  
1. V-Belt Service (Page 26). Perform after the  
first 16 hours.  
1. Put on safety glasses and make sure any  
bystanders are out of the way and also wear-  
ing safety glasses.  
2. Conveyor Tensioning & Tracking (Page 28).  
3. Drum Adjustments (Page 29).  
2. Flip the ON/OFF switch ON. Make sure  
that your finger is poised over the ON/OFF  
switch, just in case there is a problem.  
4. Pressure Roller Height (Page 31).  
The drum sander should run smoothly, with  
little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange  
or unnatural noises should be investigated  
and corrected before operating the machine  
further. To avoid injury or damage to the  
machine, DO NOT attempt to make adjust-  
ments to the machine without turning it OFF  
and unplugging it from its power source.  
Investigate and correct any problems before  
operating the machine further. If you need help,

Depth of Cut  
Variable Speed  
The optimum depth of cut will vary based on  
the type of wood, feed rate, and sandpaper grit.  
Under most sanding conditions, the depth should  
The variable speed knob allows you to increase  
the feed rate from 0–15 FPM. The correct speed  
to use depends on the type of stock you are using  
(hardwood vs. softwood) and the stage of finish  
you are at with that workpiece.  
1
not exceed 0.006" (0.15 mm) (approx. 4 turn of  
the handwheel). Each full turn of the crank handle  
raises the conveyor table approximately 0.027"  
(0.69 mm). Attempts to remove too much material  
can cause jamming, wood burning, rapid paper  
wear or tearing, poor finish, belt slippage, and  
motor damage.  
As a general rule, a slower feed rate will sand  
the surface smoother, but runs the risk of burning  
the wood; a faster feed rate will remove material  
faster, but runs the risk of overloading the motor.  
Use trial-and-error to determine the best settings  
for your specific applications.  
To set the depth of cut:  
1. Rotate the crank handle (Figure 9) until the  
table is well below the sanding drum, then  
raise the table, allowing a gap between the  
workpiece and the drum.  
To adjust the conveyor speed:  
1. Start the conveyor.  
2. Rotate the variable speed knob (Figure  
10) clockwise to increase the feed speed,  
or counterclockwise to decrease the feed  
speed.  
Note: When adjusting the table to sand a  
thicker workpiece, lower and then raise the  
table to remove backlash from the adjust-  
ment mechanism. If the table is lowered too  
far, the conveyor belt may rub against the  
chain, leaving grease on the belt.  
Figure 10. Variable speed knob.  
Figure 9. Setting depth of cut.  
2. Turn the sander ON, start the conveyor (see  
Variable Speed, on this page), and feed the  
workpiece into the sander. SLOWLY raise  
the conveyor table until the workpiece makes  
light contact with the sanding drum. This  
is the correct height to begin sanding the  
workpiece.

Sanding  
Sanding Tips  
Replace the sandpaper with a higher grit to  
achieve a finer finish.  
DO NOT sand more than one board at a time.  
Minor variations in thickness can cause one  
board to be propelled by the rapidly spinning  
sanding drum and ejected from the machine.  
NEVER stand directly in front of the outfeed  
area of the machine. Failure to do so could  
result in severe personal injury.  
1
Raise the table with a maximum of 4 turn of  
the crank handle until the workpiece is the  
desired thickness.  
Reduce snipe when sanding more than one  
board of the same thickness by feeding them  
into the sander with the front end of the sec-  
ond board touching the back end of the first  
board.  
To sand a workpiece:  
Feed boards into the sander at different points  
on the conveyor to maximize sandpaper life  
and prevent uneven conveyor belt wear.  
1. Adjust the table height according to the  
instructions in Depth of Cut on Page 16.  
2. Start the dust collector, turn the sander ON,  
DO NOT sand boards less than 8" long or  
and start the conveyor.  
1
less than 8" thick to prevent damage to the  
workpiece and the drum sander.  
3. Feed the workpiece through the sander.  
Retrieve the workpiece by standing at the  
side—not at the outfeed end.  
Extend the life of the sandpaper by regularly  
using a PRO-STICK® sanding pad (Page  
19).  
4. Run wide stock through two or three times  
without adjusting the table height. Turn the  
stock 180° between passes to ensure an  
even cut.  
When sanding workpieces with irregular sur-  
faces, such as cabinet doors, take very light  
sanding passes to prevent gouges. When  
the drum moves from sanding a wide surface  
to sanding a narrow surface, the load on  
the motor will be reduced, and the drum will  
speed up, causing a gouge.  
DO NOT edge sand boards. This can cause  
boards to kickback, causing serious personal  
injury. Edge sanding boards also can cause  
damage to the conveyor belt and sandpa-  
per.  
When sanding workpieces with a bow or  
crown, place the high point up (prevents the  
workpiece from rocking) and take very light  
passes.  
Feed the workpiece at an angle to maximize  
stock removal and sandpaper effectiveness,  
but feed the workpiece straight to reduce  
sandpaper grit scratches for the finish pass-  
es.

out the new sandpaper, or use the pattern in  
Figure 11, to cut the sandpaper to the nec-  
essary shape.  
Choosing Sandpaper  
There are many types of sanding belts to choose  
from. We recommend Aluminum Oxide for gen-  
eral workshop environments. Below is a chart  
that groups abrasives into different classes, and  
shows which grits fall into each class.

5. Wrap the sanding drum with the new sandpa-  
per. Make sure to wrap the sandpaper tight  
and try to keep the gaps to a minimum.  
The general rule of thumb is to sand a workpiece  
with progressively higher grit numbers, with no  
one grit increase of more than 50. Avoid skipping  
grits; the larger the grit increase, the harder it will  
be to remove the scratches from the previous  
grit.

6. Tape both ends with 4" strapping tape  
(Figure 12), making at least two complete  
passes so that the second layer is directly on  
top of the first.  
Ultimately, the type of wood you use and your  
stage of finish will determine the best grit types to  
install on your sander.  
Paper Replacement  
The Model G0459 is designed for 3" wide hook-  
and-loop sandpaper rolls.  
To change sandpaper on the G0459:  
1. Disconnect the sander from the power  
source!

Lubrication  
Always disconnect power  
to the machine before  
performing maintenance.  
Failure to do this may  
result in serious person-  
The chain should be lubricated periodically with  
a light machine oil. Motor bearings need no lubri-  
cation. Use only adequate lubrication. Too much  
lubricant will attract dirt and sawdust and will clog  
al injury.  
the chain mechanism.  
Pillow Block Bearing: Must be lubricated every  
20 hours of operation. Use a high-quality, lithium-  
based grease. A grease fitting (Figure 20) is  
located on the top of each pillow block bearing.  
Schedule  
For optimum performance from your machine,  
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any  
specific instructions given in this section.  
Daily Check:  
Loose mounting bolts.  
Worn switch.  
Worn or damaged cords or plugs.  
Damaged V-belt.  
Any other unsafe condition.  
DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust  
any features of the machine while it is run-  
ning. Wait until the machine is turned OFF,  
unplugged, and all working parts have come  
to a rest before you do anything!  
Figure 20. Location to lubricate pillow block

Table Lift Screws: These should be lubricated  
with lithium grease every six months.  
Failure to routinely inspect your drum sander  
for damage and wear could result in unsatis-  
factory work results, premature component  
or machinery failure, or operator injury. We  
recommend you create a checklist for routine  
inspection and maintenance. Remember to  
always disconnect the drum sander from its  
power source before attempting to inspect,  
adjust, or repair this machine!

The gauge blocks described here will be required  
to complete most of the service procedures in this  
section.  
Tension  
A new V-belt often stretches and loosens up dur-  
ing the first 16 hours of use. After this period, it  
should be inspected and re-tensioned if neces-  
sary.  
To make the gauge blocks:  
1. Edge joint the concave edge of the 2x4 flat  
on a jointer, as shown in Figure 22.  
Proper tension is important for optimum power  
transmission. However, too much tension may  
cause premature bearing failure.  
To test V-belt tension:  
1. Remove the right handle and side panel.  
2. Using a straightedge and ruler (Figure 24),  
push on the middle of the V-belt. The correct  
V-belt tension is achieved when the V-belt  
can be deflected 12"–34" with moderate pres-  
sure.  
Figure 22. Edge jointing on a jointer.  
2. Place the jointed edge of the 2x4 against the  
table saw fence and rip cut just enough off  
the opposite side to square up the two edges  
of the 2x4, as shown in Figure 23.

To adjust V-belt tension:  
Pulley Alignment  
Pulley alignment is another important factor in  
power transmission and belt life. The pulleys  
should be parallel to each other and in the same  
plane (coplaner) for optimum performance.  
1. DISCONNECT POWER TO THE SANDER!  
2. Open the rear panel.  
3. Loosen the motor mount bolts and raise or  
lower the motor bracket, as shown in Figure  
25, to loosen or tighten the V-belt.  
Each pulley can be adjusted by loosening the set  
screws that secure the pulley to the shaft, sliding  
the pulley in/out, and retightening the set screws  
to lock the pulley in place.  
4. Tighten the motor mount bolts and replace  
the rear panel.  
To align the pulleys:

Removal/Replacement  
Replace the V-belt if you notice fraying, cracking,  
glazing, or any other damage. A worn/damaged  
V-belt will not provide optimum power transmis-  
sion from the motor to the drums.  
V-belt removal and replacement is simply a matter  
of loosening the V-belt, rolling it off of the pulleys,  
replacing it, and re-tensioning it.

2. Turn both of the conveyor adjustment bolts  
counterclockwise one full turn at a time until  
the conveyor belt no longer slips during  
operation.  
Conveyor Tensioning  
& Tracking  
—If the conveyor starts tracking to one side,  
immediately turn the drum sander OFF and  
perform the tracking instructions.  
Tools Needed:  
Wrench 19mm................................................... 1  
Phillips Head Screwdriver #2 ............................ 1  
Qty  
Tracking  
Tensioning  
The conveyor must track straight. If the conveyor  
tracks to either side, then the tracking must be  
corrected or the conveyor will become damaged  
and have to be replaced.  
The conveyor may slightly stretch with continued  
use and will eventually need to be tensioned. This  
is most obvious if the conveyor starts slipping on  
the rollers.  
Replacing a damaged conveyor is a big job.  
Always be careful to make sure that the belt does  
not travel too far to one side or the other.  
When you tension the conveyor, focus on ten-  
sioning the adjustment bolts in even increments.  
Tensioning one side more than the other will  
cause tracking problems, which will require you to  
take additional steps to get the sander operating  
correctly.  
Tracking the conveyor is a balancing process that  
takes patience and a small degree of trial-and-  
error. Usually you must over-tighten the loose side  
(the side the belt is tracking towards) to make the  
conveyor move to the middle of the rollers, then  
loosen that same side to make the conveyor stay  
in position. If you adjust the bolt too much either  
way, then you have to repeat the process until the  
conveyor rides in the middle and stays there dur-  
ing continuous operation.  
To tension the conveyor:  
1. Use a magic marker, correction fluid, or  
fingernail polish to mark the front of the con-  
veyor tensioning bolt on both sides (Figure  
27). This step will aid you in keeping track  
of the rotations as you turn the bolts, so they  
remain as even as possible.  
To track the conveyor:  
1. Turn the conveyor ON and watch it track.  
2. Determine which side the conveyor is track-  
ing towards (the loose side) and tension the  
adjustment bolt on that side until the con-  
veyor tracks in the opposite direction.

Note: Tracking changes may take up to three  
minutes before they are noticeable.  
3. When the conveyor is near the middle of the  
rollers or table, loosen the adjustment bolt  
until the conveyor stops moving and tracks  
straight.

tracking controls (guard removed for clarity).  
—If the conveyor tracks too far to the other  
side, then adjust the bolt as necessary to  
bring it back and repeat Steps 2 & 3 until  
the tracking is correct.  
Note: Removing the front right and left roller  
guard covers makes it easier to access the  
adjustment bolts. Be sure to reinstall the  
guards when adjustments are complete.

drum pillow block bearing.  
Pillow Block Bearing  
For the Model G0459 Drum Sander to function  
properly, the sanding drum must be aligned in  
two directions: (1) parallel to the conveyor belt  
and (2) perpendicular to feed direction.  
Locknut  
Setscrews  
The drums can be adjusted in fine increments at  
the pillow block bearings and in larger increments  
by using the table lift screws (Page 33).  
While adjusting the drum, keep in mind that hav-  
ing the drum parallel to the conveyor belt is critical  
to the sanding operation. Care should be taken to  
make the tolerances as close as possible (within  
0.002" from one side to the other) when adjusting  
the drum height.  
Figure 29. Pillow block bearing adjustments.  
4. Place the gauge blocks on the conveyor table  
and position them under the pressure rollers,  
as shown in Figure 30.  
The tolerances for having the drum perpendicular  
to the feed direction are much more forgiving,

even allowing up to 8" difference from one side  
to the other before causing problems.  
To align the sanding drum parallel to the con-  
veyor belt (Figure 28):  
 
 
Figure 30. Gauge blocks positioned under  
pressure rollers and sanding drum.  
5. Raise the table until the gauge blocks just  
touch the bottom of the sanding drum.  
Note: A good way to know when they are  
touching is to rock the sanding drum back  
and forth while raising the table until you hear  
or feel contact with the gauge blocks.

6. Lower the table one full turn of the crank han-  
dle. Wait until the chain starts moving before  
starting to count the crank handle rotation.  
To adjust the sanding drum perpendicular to  
the feed direction (Figure 31):  
7. Starting at one end, place a 0.002" feeler  
gauge between the sanding drum and the  
gauge block. (The feeler gauge should slide  
with moderate resistance, without forcing the  
drum to roll.)  
 
 
8. Repeat Step 7 at the other end of the drum.  
—If the difference between the two sides is  
0.002" or less, skip to the subsection that  
covers how to adjust the sanding drum  
perpendicular to the feed direction on this  
page.

—If the difference between the two sides is  
more than 0.002", then one side must be  
adjusted to within 0.002" of the other (with  
the ultimate goal of making them dead  
even). Continue to the next step.  
2. First measure the distance between the out-  
side of the drum and the inside of the dust  
scoop (Figure 32). The distances should be

2. Rotate the setscrews 18 of a turn clockwise to  
raise the pillow block bearings (see Figure  
29).  
Dust Scoop  
Note: Turn all setscrew sets an equal  
amount.  
3. Tighten the lock nuts and recheck the align-  
ment using the gauge blocks, repeating Steps  
1–8 from the previous subsection. Tightening  
the lock nuts will pull the drum downward  
slightly. Be sure to adjust to compensate  
for this movement. Do not over tighten the  
lock nuts. The pillow block bearings can  
break if over tightened.

3. If the measurements are not within 8", the  
drum can be moved by loosening the lock  
nuts on the pillow block bearings and moving  
one end of the drum forward or backward as  
necessary in the slotted holes.  
Note: After you have adjusted the drum, do  
not forget to tighten the lock nuts and recheck  
the alignment by repeating Steps 1–3.

However, you can only minimize snipe so much  
before the workpiece will slip or kick out, causing  
a hazard to the operator. If this happens, you have  
raised the pressure rollers too high for them to  
function as intended—the pressure rollers MUST  
be lowered to prevent injury.

Raising the pressure rollers too high to min-  
imize snipe will cause the workpiece to slip  
or kick out, causing a hazard to the opera-  
tor. You MUST lower the pressure rollers to  
prevent injury!  
Factory Setting:  
Distance Below Sanding Drum ..... 0.080" (2mm)  
The pressure rollers are factory set at 0.080"  
(2mm) below the bottom of the sanding drum  
and are fully adjustable either up/down with the  
four lower adjustment bolts (Figure 33). After  
the adjustment has been made, always lock the  
jam nuts against the bottom to prevent them from  
moving.  
These instructions will restore the pressure rollers  
to the factory setting.  
To adjust the pressure rollers to the factory  
setting:  
1. DISCONNECT POWER TO THE SANDER!  
2. Open the top cover.

3. Place the gauge blocks on the conveyor table  
and position them under all the pressure roll-  
ers (Figure 30).  
Lower Adjustment Bolts  
4. Raise the table so the gauge blocks touch  
the bottom of the sanding drum, as shown in  
Figure 34.  
Figure 33. Pressure roller adjustment hex nuts.  
Proper pressure on the workpiece helps avoid  
kickback and keeps the workpiece from slip-  
ping. However, as pressure increases on the  
workpiece, snipe also increases (some degree of  
snipe is normal with all drum sanders).  
If snipe becomes a problem, you can minimize it  
by reducing pressure. To lower pressure, turn the  
lower adjustment bolts counterclockwise to raise  
the pressure roller height. To increase pressure,  
turn the lower adjustment bolts clockwise (lower-  
ing pressure rollers).

5. Turn the crank handle three full rotations  
(counting from the point of actual table move-  
ment so handwheel freeplay does not affect  
your count) to lower the table so the gauge  
blocks are below the pressure rollers, as  
shown in Figure 35.

The table lift screws are connected by a chain  
and driven by the crank handle. (When the chain  
is removed from a sprocket on one of the lift  
screws, that lift screw can adjust that portion of  
the table up/down independently to assist in set-  
ting the table parallel to the drum.)  
Figure 37. Marking sprocket tooth and chain.  
5. Loosen the chain by loosening the hex nut on  
the bottom of the idler roller sprocket shown  
in Figure 38.  
Adjusting the table lift screws will only be neces-  
sary if you need to adjust the drum height more  
than allowed at the pillow block bearing adjust-  
ments, or if you have removed the table or chain  
(see Page 37) during a service procedure and  
you need to reset the drum parallel to the table.  
Each complete tooth rotation on the sprocket  
represents 0.007" or .18mm of table elevation  
movement. For example, if the rear of the table  
was 0.007" low, rotate both rear table lift screws  
to the next sprocket tooth in the same chain posi-  
tion. You can easily rotate the sprockets from  
the top of the table lift screws with a flat head  
screwdriver.

marked sprocket.  
7. Keep track of the marked chain hole and  
rotate the sprocket the necessary number of  
teeth away from the marked one to meet the  
difference in height needed.  
3. Raise the table up to at least the 1" mark on  
the height scale.  
4. At the lift screw that needs to be adjusted,  
mark the end of a sprocket tooth and the  
chain hole where that tooth is meshed, as  
shown in Figure 37.  
8. Fit the chain back over the sprocket, making  
sure the new sprocket tooth is inserted into  
the marked chain hole.  
9. Re-tension the chain and check the new  
height setting.  
NOTICE  
Marking the chain and sprocket locations  
will save you a substantial amount of time  
when you reinstall the chain. Make sure you  
have done this before removing the chain.  
10. Repeat Steps 5–9 as needed until the table  
height is parallel to the drums in all four cor-  
ners, tighten the idler sprocket and calibrate  
the scale pointer.

4. Remove the gear cover (2 Phillips head  
screws) and loosen the 2 hex nuts securing  
the brace and remove it.  
Replacing the conveyor belt is a big job and  
requires moderate mechanical skill and a fair  
amount of patience. For planning purposes,  
expect to have your machine out of operation for  
at least a few hours.  
5. Remove the dust scoop (4 hex bolts and  
4 flat washers), compression springs and  
spring plates (Figure 40) from the front pres-  
sure roller and set the roller aside.  
As you remove hardware to complete these  
instructions, we recommend putting all the bolts,  
screws, washers, etc. back into the holes from  
which they came. This simple habit will take  
slightly longer when disassembling the machine,  
but it will save you a lot of time and reduce frus-  
tration during reassembly.

arrows (all pointing in same direction) and  
mark the screws with liquid correction fluid  
above the mounting bracket (Figure 45).  
Later, when you reassemble the conveyor  
table, you can use these marks to reset the  
table height close to the current position.  
15. Disconnect the conveyor feed motor wires  
from the circuit board.  
16. Remove the scale pointer.  
Before removing the table, note the number and  
location of brass shims (Figure 47) under the
