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.

Assembly
Dust collection
To assemble your machine:
1. slide the table over the sanding belt, then
attach it to the machine base with the M8-1.25
x 25 hex bolt, 8mm external tooth washer,
and the table lock lever, as shown in (figure
5).
This sander creates wood dust while operat-
ing. We recommend using the Model H3140
with an adequate dust collection system.
failure to use a dust collection system can
result in short and long-term respiratory ill-
ness.
Required cfM at 2" Dust port:
100 cfM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col-
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to calcu-
late these variables is beyond the scope of this
manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good
dust collection "how-to" book.
figure 5. Attaching work table.
To connect a dust collection hose:
notice
The table lock lever
can be repositioned by
pulling out on the
handle and rotating the
lever. This allows the
lever to tighten when
clearance is limited.
1. Fit the 2" dust hose over the dust port, as
shown in figure 6, and secure in place with
a hose clamp.
2. tug the hose to make sure it does not come
off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.
2. adjust the table so that the gap between the
1
sanding belt and the table is less than ⁄16",
and the table is perpendicular to the sanding
belt, then tighten the table lock lever.
A large gap between the belt and table pres-
ents a pinch point that could cause your
fingers to be pulled into the machine. Make
sure the gap between the sanding belt and
1
the table is less than ⁄16" to reduce the risk
of personal injury.

machine to make sure it runs properly.
3. Make sure all tools and objects used during
setup are cleared away from the machine.
if, during the test run, you cannot easily locate
the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop
using the machine immediately, then review the
Troubleshooting on page 22.
4. turn the machine on.
5. listen and watch for abnormal noises or
actions. the machine should run smoothly
with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.
if you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our
tech support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.
—strange or unusual noises should be inves-
tigated and corrected before operating the

Operation Overview
Stock inspection
follow these rules when choosing stock:
a basic operation with this machine is as follows:
•
DO NOT sand stock that contains large or
loose knots. injury to the operator or damage
to the workpiece can occur if a knot becomes
dislodged during the sanding operation.
the operator adjusts the table as needed for the
sanding operation, then turns the sander and dust
collector on and makes sure the belt is tracking
properly.
•
Remove foreign objects from the
workpiece. Make sure that any stock you
process with the sander is clean and free of
dirt, nails, staples, tiny rocks or any other for-
eign objects that could damage the sanding
belt or eject from the workpiece during sand-
ing.
the workpiece is placed flat on the table and
pressed in to the moving sanding belt. the platen
behind the sanding belt provides a flat surface to
ensure that the sanded portion of the workpiece is
also flat. the table can be tilted and locked in place
to sand a variety of angles on the workpiece.
Various additional techniques can be used for
sanding curves or shapes, but in all operations,
the workpiece must be firmly supported against
the table when it is in contact with the workpiece.
•
Scrape all glue off the workpiece before
sanding. glue deposits on the workpiece,
hard or soft, can gum up the sanding belt and
produce poor results.
Sanding Tips
•
•
•
use the correct sandpaper and grit for the job
to ensure good sanding results.
replace the sandpaper with a higher grit to
achieve a finer finish.
extend the life of the sandpaper by reg-
ularly using a pro-stiCK® sanding pad
(Accessories on page 19).
figure 8. example of belt sanding.
•
•
•
When bevel sanding, make any necessary
guide lines on the longer side of the board so
they will be visible during sanding.
To avoid the risk of kickback and personal
injury, always keep the workpiece firmly on
the table.
always turn the sander on and allow it
to reach full speed before engaging the
workpiece with the sandpaper.
Keep your workpiece moving across the
width of the sanding belt to prevent grooves
or ruts in the workpiece surface or excessive
wear to the sanding belt.

Sanding Belt
Tracking
Sanding Belt
Selection
the sanding belt must track in the center of
the top pulley to avoid damaging itself and the
machine during use.
Belt Size ................................................1" x 30"
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 abrasive types into different classes, and
shows which grits fall into each class.
To adjust the sanding belt tracking:
1. disConneCt sander FroM poWer!
2. remove the sanding belt side cover and
rotate the wheels by hand to make an initial
check of the belt tracking.

3. slowly adjust the tracking adjustment knob
as necessary and repeat Step 2 until the
sanding belt tracks in the center of the top
pulley, then replace the belt side cover.
Very Fine
4. Connect the sander to power, turn it on and
be ready to turn it off immediately if the belt
begins to move off the wheel.
the general rule of thumb is to sand a workpiece
with progressively higher grit numbers, with no
one grit increase of more than 50.
5. observe the sanding belt as it moves over
the top pulley (see figure 12).

Replacement
4. roll the old sanding belt off the three pulleys,
and roll the new belt back on, making sure
the directional arrows on the back of the belt
point downward at the table (figure 14).
some sanding belts are designed to sand in only
one direction and will have directional arrows on
the back of the belt. the Model h3140 is designed
so that the sanding belt travels downward at the
sanding table.
