Its rubber-coated drive drum has three-stage pressure regulation and the intake system offers efficient dust extraction into a high-capacity bag. A 230-volt AC motor outputs 2.2 KW of power, driving a 7.8-inch wide, 29.5-inch long sanding belt at 2,880 r.p.m. A worn belt can be changed in seconds. The Lagler Hummel is designed for dry sanding only and not approved for sanding of any wet surface.
Sander Does Not Run
-
Check the connection to the AC power outlet.
-
Make sure circuit breakers or fuses controlling the AC power outlet have not tripped or blown.
-
Allow the sander to cool down if it has overheated from heavy use and tripped the thermal protection switch.
Motor Attempts to Start but Falters
-
Allow the sander to warm to room temperature if it has been stored in a cold environment.
-
Evaluate the extension cords in use. Extension cords with strands less than 2.5 mm in diameter should not be used. Excessively long extension cords should not be used.
-
Test the tension of the V-belts driving the drum. Adjust it according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Motor Produces Insufficient Power
-
Make sure the drive elements are not binding or sticking.
-
Verify that the abrasive grit of the sanding belt is not too coarse for the wood surface being sanded. Substitute lighter grit if necessary.
