ADJUSTING YOUR EDGE SANDER
If you are going to do any machine adjustment,
please disconnect machine from the power
source.
Change Abrasive Belt
Changing the abrasive belt of your edge sander
is very easy and fast. This machine uses a 6” x
108” abrasive belt, the grit of the abrasive belt
depends on what kind of finish you are going to
obtain. For more information, see page 11 , “Use
Of Correct Abrasive Bell”
The following procedures show you how to
change the abrasive belt:
1.Disconnect the machine from the power
source, this is most important!
2.Loosen the two push buttons (A) Fig. 2, on the
dust chute, then yoLl can open the dust-hood.
3.Take the abrasive belt safety guard (6) out by
removing the two knob bolts (C), which are on
the safety guard.
4.Aotate the abrasive belt te:nsion adjustment
knob (D). Fig. 3, clockwise to release idler
pulley device (E), then you can move out the
old abrasive belt and put a new one on.
NOTE: Identify the abrasive belt direction
before you install the abrasive belt, because
the abrasive belt rotational direction must
be the same as the machine. The abrasive
' belt direction should follow the arrow
direction which is marked on the reverse
side of the abrasive belt.
If there is no arrow direction marked on the
reverse side of the abrasive belt you are
using . please find the jointer (connection
area) the belt, this area is connected by
layers. The top layer of the abrasive belt
surface will determine its direction. (see Fig.
4) Using the wrong abrasive belt rotational
direction may" cause the abrasive belt to
break.
5. Place the new abrasive belt between the
contact wheel and idler pulley, then adjust the
tension adjustment knob (D). Counterclockwise
will maximIze the tension, clockwise will
minimize it.
6. Rotating the abrasive belt along the correct
direction with one hand Fig. 5, you can test
whether the abrasive belt tracking is correct
or not on the machine, with your other hand
correct the adjustment by using the track
adjustment knob (F). If you want to lower the
abrasive belt, rotate the track adjustment knob
clockwise and vice versa. When suitable level
is obtained, the abrasive belt will rotate steadily
