REPLACING THE SANDING BELT
The sanding belt may become worn or you may want to
change the level of grit for a project. The steps to replace the
belt is the same in both instances.
1. Ensure the tool is OFF, the yellow tab is removed from the
safety switch and the tool is unplugged.
2. Raise the sanding belt platform angle enough to allow easy
access to the bottom of the sanding belt.
3. Slide the belt tension lever (B) to the right to release
tension on the belt.
4. Hold the belt by both ends and slide it toward the front, off
of the platform.
5. Check if the new belt has a direction arrow on the inner
backing. The sanding belt rotates counter clockwise. Match
the direction arrow with the rotation.
6. Hold both ends of the new belt and slide it onto the
platform. You may need to adjust the top and bottom of
the belt for fit while installing to avoid damaging the belt.
7. Slide the belt tension lever to the left to take up the belt’s
slack. The belt is ready for use once the slack disappears.
8. Test that the tracking is properly set (See Assembly &
Installation).
