BEFORE STARTING THE SANDING BELT MOTOR, CHECK THAT BOTH
SANDING BELTS ARE TRACKING PROPERLY, AS FOLLOWS:
1.
"Jog" the sanding belt motor by quickly hitting the "start" and "stop" switch such that the
belts turn slowly, then stop.
2.
Continue jogging the motor and check each belt to see that it stays roughly centered
on its forward pulley.
3.
Tracking adjustment handles are located to the right of the
sanding belts. Clockwise rotation of the adjustments moves the
belt to the right and counter clockwise rotation moves the belt
to the left. Adjust accordingly as required so that each belt is
tracking properly while running slowly.
4.
"Jog" sanding motor switch. Fine adjust the tracking of each belt at full speed.
AS THE INDIVIDUAL SANDING BELTS WEAR FROM USE, IT WILL BECOME NECESSARY TO MAKE MINOR TRACKING
ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP THE SANDING BELTS CENTERED.
SANDING BELT REPLACEMENT
EYE PROTECTION SHOULD ALWAYS BE WORN BY THE OPERATOR AND OTHERS IN THE WORK AREA WHEN CHANGING
SANDING BELTS. EYE PROTECTION IS REQUIRED FOR PROTECTION FROM FLYING DEBRIS AND DUST, WHICH COULD
CAUSE EYE INJURY.
Sanding belts can be obtained in various grit to suit your needs and are easily changed.
SOME SANDING BELTS ARE CONSTRUCTED TO ROTATE IN ONE DIRECTION ONLY. CHECK ARROW INSIDE SANDING BELT
FOR ROTATION. INCORRECT INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE SUDDEN BELT FAILURE RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY TO
OPERATOR AND OTHERS IN THE WORK AREA.
TO REPLACE 1 ½” SANDING BELT:
1.
Open right sanding belt door.
