SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Like all power tools and machinery, proper safety and attention must be adhered

to. There is danger associated with using any tool or machine so pay careful

attention each and every time you use your tool.

•DO NOT jam or try and over push the work piece into the machine during

operation. This may cause damage to the machine. Feed the work piece

into the conveyor with a firm grasp, slowly and easily.

•Keep you hand clear of the conveyor and sand paper when feeding your

work piece. Make sure your fingers do not get pinched between your work

piece board and the conveyor. If you hand gets caught and pulled into the

conveyor this could lead to serious injury and or death.

•DO NOT wear jewelry or loose clothing while operating this machine.

•DO NOT feed any stock into this machine that is less than 1/8” thick and

more than 4” in thickness. Do not sand thinner pieces than allowed by

using a “dummy” board underneath your work piece. This can be

dangerous.

•DO NOT sand more than one piece of stock at anytime. This machine is

designed to feed stock one piece at a time only. DO NOT let anyone stand

in front of the machine while sanding.

•INSPECT your work pieces. Make sure that they are free of nails, staples,

tacks, knots and other objects that may be harmful to your machine.

•NEVER use this machine without the proper dust collection in place.

•TECHINCAL DIFFICULTIES. Any problems you may run into should be

carefully looked at with the power OFF and the machine unplugged from

the power source.

•SAFETY GLASSESS and RESPIRATOR is highly recommended when

working with this machine. Some saw dust can be harmful to your lungs,

UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

Carefully unpack the CT125 from its crate and unsure that everything is in tact.

When setting your machine in the desired location, make sure that you have

enough machine clearance in order to use this machine to the full capacity.

See the figure below for the minimum working clearance.

NOTE – When moving this machine into its desired location please make sure that you do

it with the help of another person. The machine is fairly heavy (185 lbs) and it is necessary

to lift and or move this machine with the help of another person.

MOUNTING

When you have found the proper work bench or surface for your sander (make

sure that the surface is flat, stable and can support up to 185lbs) you can mount

your sander to the surface of your final resting place.

There are 2 mounting holes located on the front of the machine and 2 mounting

plates at the back of the machine. Drill pilot holes into the bench using the

mounting holes as guides. Using a wrench, bolt the base to the bench top with

3/8” lag bolts and flat washers.

CRANK HANDLE

Now the crank handle that came with the machine needs to be installed. The

handle should be installed on the top left side of the unit. Make sure that the set

screws and handle are firmly in place before moving on.

DUST COLLECTION

It is highly recommended that you use a dust collector when using this machine.

The minimum CFM requirement for this machine is 750CFM which means you

should be using a 1HP or 2HP dust collector at minimum.

The machine comes with a 2 ½” dust port located at the back of the machine.

(See picture below) You can use a dust collection adaptor which will take you up

to 4” in order to use a normal sized dust collector. A fine layer of dust will be

present on your stock as it comes out from the sander. This is normal. It is not

recommended to use 2 ½” piping from the machine to your collector.

TEST RUN

Connect your machine to the correct power source. Once it is connected you are

ready to perform the first test run. Take a careful look in and around your

machine before turning it on to ensure everything is in place, all screws and

knobs are securely fastened and that all controls are working properly.

Before turning the machine on, make sure you are wearing your safety glasses

and that any one around you is also wearing safety glasses and not standing in

the front or back of the machine.

Turn the power switch to ON.

The drum sander should run smoothly and create very little noise or vibration. If

any loud or strange noises occur turn the machine OFF right away and inspect

the problem. DO NOT make any adjustments while the machine is running.

SANDING DEPTH

The optimum sanding depth will depend on what type of project you are working,

what type of wood you are using and the sand paper grit. Under most conditions,

the depth should not exceed 0.006”, or approx. ¼ turn of the crank wheel. If you

attempt to remove too much wood while sanding this may cause the machine to

jam, your wood to burn, rapid paper wear or tear and or motor damage.

When setting your depth, rotate the crank handle until the table is well below the

sanding drum. Then raise the table to ensure a proper and safe gap between the

work piece and the drum.

Turn the machine ON, start the conveyor and feed your work piece. Slowly raise

the table until the work piece makes slight contact with the drum. This would be

your ideal sanding height.

VARIABLE SPEED

The variable speed knob will allow you to increase the feed rate of your work

piece from 0 – 22 FPM. The correct speed will vary from work piece to work

piece and will depend of what type of wood you are using.

A general rule of thumb is that the slower the feed rate the smoother the sanding

job you will get. However, this also runs the risk of burning your wood. After you

are familiar with the machine and how it handles, this will not be an issue,

however in the beginning the use of trial and error with scrap wood will be helpful

to get a feel for the machine.

Start the Conveyor. Rotate the variable speed knob clockwise to increase the

speed and counterclockwise to decrease the speed.
