ON/OFF SWITCH

The ON/OFF switch is located in the front of Sander base. 

To turn the machine ON, pull the switch to the up position. 

To turn the machine OFF, push the switch to the down 

position.  

 

NOTE: When the machine is not in use, the machine 

should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unau-

thorized use.  

 

•  To lock the machine, turn the switch to the “OFF” 

   position and pull the key out. The switch cannot be 

   turned on without the key. 

•   If the key is removed when the switch is at the “On” 

   position, the switch can be turned off but cannot be 

   turned on again.  

•   To unlock, place the key into the slot on switch unit until  

   it snaps.  

ADJUST BELT TRACKING MECHANISM

Refer to Figure 9

Keep hands away from sanding belt, idler drum, drive 

drum, and any moving parts while conducting Belt 

Tracking Mechanism adjustment. 

 

•   To check sanding belt level, push the Tension Lever (b) 

   toward drive drum to tighten the sanding belt. 

•   To check the belt tracking, switch the machine ON and 

   OFF quickly. Watch the Sanding Belt (a) movement on 

   the Idler and Drive Drum. The Sanding Belt should 

   rotate without moving to the right and left.  

•   Use the Adjust Tracking Nut (c) to center the Sanding 

   Belt (a). If the Sanding Belt (a) keeps moving to the 

   right, turn the Adjust Tracking nut (c) to the left. If the 

   Sanding Belt (a) keeps moving to the left, turn the Adjust 

   Tracking nut (c) to the right. 

•   After each adjustment, switch the machine ON and OFF 

   quickly and check the Sanding Belt (a) movement again. 

   Repeat the procedures to adjust the belt tracking until 

   the Sanding Belt (a) is centered.

ADJUST BELT ASSEMBLY POSITION

Refer to Figure 9

•   The Sanding Belt Assembly (d) is designed to function 

   at any angle between horizontal and vertical position.  

   There are adjustable positive stops for both horizontal 

   and vertical positions. The Horizontal Stop is located on 

   top of the Base (h). It can secure the Sanding Belt 

   Assembly in horizontal position.

•   To change position, use L Wrench to loosen the Socket 

   Head Bolt (g) in the Pivot Bracket (f). The Pivot Bracket 

   is located between the Sanding Disc Assembly and The 

   Sanding belt Assembly. 

•   Position the Sanding belt Assembly (d) to the desired 

   angle and tighten the Socket Head Bolt (g) in the Pivot 

   Bracket (f).

ADJUST TABLE TILT ANGLE

Refer to Figure 10 

•   The table platform can be adjusted from 0 to 45 degree 

   (+/- 3°).

•   To adjust the table tilt angle, loose the Knob (i) on the 

   Tilt Angle Scale (k) under the Table Platform (j). 

•   Tilt the Table Platform (j) to the desired angel as 

   indicated by the Scale (k). Tighten the Knob (i).

•   Check that the distance between the Table Platform (j) 

   and the sanding surface is 1/16” or less. Do not allow 

   the sanding surface to touch any part of the Table 

   Assembly. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the Bolt 

   (l) that attach the Table Assembly to the Supporting Rod 

   and adjust the table platform position. Refer to ATTACH  

   THE TABLE TO USE WITH SANDING BELT section for 

   details.
