Using the PM2244 Drum Sander is easy. First, make sure it's plugged into a 20 - amp circuit as recommended. You can use the large chrome handwheel to adjust the drum height smoothly for different workpieces. Place your workpiece on the infeed table and let the conveyor do the work. The feed logic system will ensure the best speed without overloading the motor.
For safety, always use the emergency stop if something goes wrong. Also, be aware of the Prop 65 warning about cancer and reproductive harm. Keep your abrasives in the closed stand's storage for easy access and organization.
To maintain your sander, regularly check the belt tracking to avoid manual adjustment. Clean the dust collection system to meet the 800 CFM requirement. Check the table parallelism using the dial on the conveyor bed. If you need to move the sander around the shop, use the integrated casters. With proper use and maintenance, your PM2244 Drum Sander will serve you well for a long time.
