belt tensIon
warnInG!
ensure the sander is switch off and unplugged from the mains power supply.
the belt tension has been pre-set by the manufacturer but will require adjustment after a period
of use or when a new belt is fitted.
4.2.1 locate cover plate to the right of the tension lever. loosen screw and open the cover plate (fig 8).
4.2.2 turn the tension lever to “loosen”.
4.2.3 loosen locking nut (fig 9).
4.2.4 to decrease tension turn adjusting rod upward (fig 10).
to increase the tension turn the adjusting rod downward.
note:
one 360° turn on the adjusting rod will move the belt roller in or out by approximately 2.5mm.
We recommend small adjustments are made by turning the adjusting rod only to the degree that access
will allow the spanner to move, and then test the belt tension before making further adjustments.
4.2.5 When complete tighten the locking nut, close and lock the cover plate in place. turn the belt tension lever
