Using your Jet 708597K JSG-96CS sander is straightforward. First, plug it into a 115V power source. You can adjust the belt and disc according to your sanding needs. Use the preset stops on the cast - iron table to set the belt sander at the desired angle. When you need to change the belt, simply use the quick - release belt tension lever. For disc changes, use the quick - lock dust cover.
When using the sander, make sure to wear appropriate safety gear like goggles and a dust mask. Keep your hands away from the moving parts. Also, don't overload the machine. Let the 3/4 HP motor do its job at a normal pace.
For maintenance, regularly check the belt tracking adjustment to ensure the belt stays on track. Clean the graphite - covered steel platen and the dust port frequently. The dust port is very effective at collecting dust, but it can get clogged over time. If you notice any issues with the belt slipping or the motor not running smoothly, check the rubber - coated drive drum and the motor amps.
