Sanding Belt
The Model G1015 accepts sanding belts that are
2" wide and 72"–76" in length.
Note: If you use the optional Model G9242 10"
drive wheel, you need to use a sanding belt that
is longer than the included 72" belt.
To ensure a safe operation and good sand-
ing results, the sanding belt must be properly
installed, tensioned, and tracked.
Installing Sanding Belt
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. With the direction arrows printed on the inside
front of the belt facing down, pull down on the
quick release lever and wrap the belt around
idler and drive wheels so that it is centered on
both, as shown in
Figure 18, then release the
lever.
Note: To prevent the belt seam from catching
on the workpiece, install the belt so that the
direction arrows printed on the inside face of
the belt follow the belt rotation, as shown in
Figure 18.
3. Adjust the platen so that it is centered behind
the belt.
4. If needed for your operation, adjust the tool
rest position as required. Make sure that it
is no more than
1
⁄
8
" away from the sanding
belt to prevent the workpiece being trapped
between the tool rest and belt.
Tensioning Sanding Belt
The sanding belt is properly tensioned when there
is approximately
1
⁄
2
" deflection with slight pressure
applied to the back loop of the belt, as shown in
Figure 19.
The sanding belt is adjusted by raising or lowering
the sanding arm assembly.
