Karatteristiċi ewlenin:

• Oscillating feature reduces heat build-up on sanding belt to reduce loading and burning, which increases belt life.
• Quick release lever and tracking control dial are conveniently located for replacing and tracking belts.
• Belt platen is made from precision-ground steel plate for strength and durability.
• Graphite covered platen runs cooler, increasing machine and belt life.
• Cast iron table moves up or down to provide exact workpiece positioning.
• Adjustable outer drum support table enables contour sanding.
• Tilting sanding head for sanding bevels, angles and flat surfaces.

Setup u Assemblea

The JET OES-80CS requires assembly upon delivery. While the base is designed for single-person assembly, the main table and motor unit are heavy and may require two people or mechanical assistance for safe placement. Ensure all components listed in the packing list are present before beginning assembly.

• Assemble the steel enclosed base cabinet first, which provides support and storage.
• Carefully mount the table and motor unit onto the assembled base.
• Install the sanding belt, utilizing the quick release lever for ease of installation.
• Attach the drum guard and dust port.
• Connect the machine to a 115V power source, as it is pre-wired for this voltage. Conversion to 230V is possible if required, but should be performed by a qualified electrician.
• Adjust the belt tracking system using the included wrench to ensure proper belt alignment.

Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

The OES-80CS is designed for versatile sanding operations. Always wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection, when operating the machine.

Operazzjoni Bażika:

• Power On/Off: Use the simple, industrial-style push-button switch located on the front of the machine.
• Aġġustament tal-Mejda: The cast-iron table (30 x 10 inches) can be adjusted up and down for precise workpiece positioning. It also features a full-length miter slot for use with the included miter gauge.
• Sanding Belt Speed: The abrasive belt operates at 3900 SFPM (surface feet per minute), suitable for various wood species and grit types.
• Oscillating Action: The 1/2-inch stroke oscillates 108 times per minute, utilizing a larger belt area and reducing heat buildup, which extends belt life and prevents burning of the workpiece.

Advanced Sanding Techniques:

• Edge and Face Sanding: Position the workpiece against the belt and table for flat sanding.
• Bevel and Angle Sanding: The oscillating head can be tilted for sanding bevels, angles, or flat surfaces. This adjustment is made by releasing the pivot lever.
• Contour Sanding: Utilize the adjustable outer drum support table for sanding curves or profiles.

Manutenzjoni

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your JET Oscillating Edge Sander.

• Sostituzzjoni taċ-ċinturin: The quick release lever makes changing the sanding belt fast and tool-free. Ensure the new belt is properly tracked using the tracking control dial.
• Ġbir tat-Trab: The machine includes a 4-inch diameter dust port built into the hinged end of the belt guard. Connect a dust collector to this port to maintain a clean workspace and maximize efficiency. Effective dust collection is crucial for all edge sanders.
• Platen Care: The graphite-covered platen is designed to run cooler, extending machine and belt life. No waxing or special maintenance is required for the platen surface due to its low-friction coating.
• Tindif Ġenerali: Regularly clean sawdust and debris from the machine, especially around moving parts and the dust collection system.

Issolvi l-problemi

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Oscillating Edge Sander.

• Tfigħ ta' Circuit Breaker: Jekk il-20 amp breaker trips frequently, especially during startup, consider converting the machine to 220V operation if your electrical system supports it. The machine is rated at 18-19 amps when pre-wired for 115V.
• Belt Tracking Issues: If the sanding belt is not tracking correctly, use the belt tracking control dial for adjustment. Ensure the quick release lever is fully engaged after belt changes.
• Suboptimal Dust Collection: Verify that the dust port is clear and properly connected to a sufficiently powerful dust collector. The belt guard system helps direct dust, but a strong vacuum is essential.
• Difficulty with Table Angle Adjustment: While the table can be adjusted for precise alignment, there is no specific "stop" for repeatable angle setups (e.g., 90 degrees). Use a reliable square for accurate angle setting.
