OPERATION (CONTINUED)
Changing the Sanding Belt
1. Remove the plastic side cover from the frame by unscrewing
the knob. See Figure 15.
2. Remove the small fence. See page 3 for instructions on
installing this part.
3. Slide tension lever to the right to release the belt tension. See
Figure 16.
NOTE: Above the tension lever, there is a direction arrow. The
sanding belt must run in the direction of this arrow so that the splice
does not come apart. See figures 16 and 17.
4. Remove the old belt by sliding it off to the left of the frame.
Place the new sanding belt over the drums with the direction
arrow pointing in the proper direction. See Figure 17. Make
sure the belt is centered on both drums.
5. Slide the tension lever to the left to apply tension to the belt.
See Figure 16.
6. Re-install the small fence and side cover onto the frame
(removed in Step 1 & 2).
7. Plug in the power cord. Turn the switch “ON” and note if the
belt tends to move to the right or left on the drums. The belt
should be running on the center of the drive drums. If it is not,
the belt tracking needs adjustment. See instructions on
sanding belt tracking.
Adjusting Sanding Belt Tracking
Refer to Figure 18.
1. Belt tracking on the center of the drive wheels is pre-set at the
factory. If an adjustment needs to be made, the sander must
be turned on.
a) If the sanding belt moves toward the disc, slowly turn the
tracking knob clockwise 1/4 turn.
b) If the sanding belt moves away from the disc, turn the
tracking knob slowly counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
2. Slowly turn the belt tracking knob noting the belt movement.
Re-adjust the tracking knob, as necessary, until the belt runs
true in the center of the drums.
