BELT TRACKING
Belt tracking adjustment means to adjust
the belt so that it tracks centrally on the
wheels.
To adjust the belt tracking:
Turn the sander ON and check where the
belt tracks on the front wheel.
Loosen the screw located at the center of
the belt tracking adjustment knob.
Turn the belt tracking adjustment knob
clockwise to move the belt to the left, or
turn the knob counterclockwise to move the
belt to the right (from the front of the
machine). See figure-13.
Re-tighten the screw.
Make sure the belt is not touching the edge
of the sander and it is tracking centrally on
the wheel.

MAINTENANCE
During the life of your machine, you will
need to practice some regular cleaning and
maintenance to keep your sander in
optimum performance condition.
Check the sander for worn or damaged
wire, loose mounting bolts, damaged
sanding belt or any other unsafe condition
daily.
Make sure to clean the chips and debris
between the platen and the sanding belt
after every use.
WARNING
Do not make any adjustments while the
machine is running. Turn the machine
OFF and un-plug the cord from the
power source before making any
adjustments or cleaning. Failure to do so
may cause serious personal injury.
