Choose one of these options:
•
Sanding belt runs inward:
Turn the tracking knob
slowly counterclockwise.
•
Sanding belt runs outward:
Turn the tracking knob
slowly clockwise.
NOTE:
Turn the tracking knob until you are sure the sand-
ing belt is secure, i.e., it will not come off the sander or
contact internal parts.
NOTICE:
If the sanding belt wears excessively on the inner edge
it is probably adjusted too far inward and is rubbing
against internal parts. If this is the case, readjust the
tracking knob.
Start the sander and fine adjust the tracking knob until
the belt stabilizes.
WARNING:
Keep hands and fingers away from a moving sanding belt.
Any part of the body coming in contact with a moving
sanding belt could result in serious injury. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry when operating the sander. They
could get caught in moving parts and foreign objects
could get thrown away from the sander causing injury.
OPERATION
OPERATING THE SANDER
Secure the work to prevent it from moving under the
sander.
WARNING:
Unsecured work could be thrown towards the operator
causing injury.
Turn the sander on and let the motor reach its maximum
speed
before
placing the sander on the work surface.
Lower the sander to the work surface with a slight forward
motion.
Move the sander slowly over the work surface, using the
handle to guide and control the sander.
NOTE:
Allowing the sander to remain in one place will
result in an uneven surface.
WARNING:
Keep a firm grip on the sander at all times. Failure to
do so could result in loss of control leading to possible
serious injury.
The sander is designed to provide the proper weight on the
sanding belt. Excessive pressure will result in the following:
Uneven work
Clogged sanding belts
Premature sanding belt wear
Possible motor burnout
Irregular sanding belt tracking
