Installing the Sanding Belt

Warning:

 To avoid injury from accidental start,

make sure tool is unplugged before making any
adjustments.

On the under side of the sanding belt, you will find
a “direction arrow”.  The sanding belt must run in the
direction of this arrow so that the splice does not
come apart.

1. Slide tension lever to the right to release the belt
tension. 

(

See Fig. 08

)

2. Place the sanding belt over the drums with the
direction arrow pointing in the proper direction.

(

See Fig. 09

)

 Make sure the belt is centered on both

drums.

3. Slide tension lever to the left to apply belt tension.

4. Tighten hex socket screw when bed is in desired
position.

1. Plug in the power cord. Turn the switch “ON” and
immediately  “OFF”, noting if the belt tends to slide
off the idler drum or drive drum.

2. If the sanding belt moves toward the disc, turn the
tracking knob clockwise 1/4 turn. 

(

See Fig. 10

)

3. If the sanding belt moves away from the disc, turn
 the tracking knob counterclockwise 1/4 turn.

4. Turn switch “ON” and immediately “OFF” again,
noting belt movement. Readjust tracking knob if
necessary.

On/Off Switch

The On/Off Locking Switch needs to have the switch
key inserted before the switch can be used (key
located in parts bag). This feature prevents
unauthorized use of the sander.  (See Fig. 11)

CAUTION:

 Never walk away from sander when

machine is running.  Always lock the switch in the Off
position and unplug from the power supply when not
in use.
