SANDING BELT REPLACEMENT
WARNING:
Eye protection should always be worn by the operator and others in
the work area when changing sanding belts. Eye protection is
required for protection from flying debris and dust, which could cause
eye injury.
(Sanding belts can be obtained in various grits to suit your needs and are easily changed.)
WARNING:
Some sanding belts are constructed to rotate in one direction only.
Check arrow inside sanding belt for rotation. Incorrect installation
can cause sudden belt failure resulting in serious injury to operator
and others in the work area.
To replace 4” wide belt:
1.
Open sanding belt door.
2.
Release pressure on the belt by pulling the idler wheel in front of the machine and
maintain it in place with the black idler rest.
3.
Reach in access door and remove the far end of the belt off the idler first.
4.
Remove built-up dust on the felt sanding wheel and on the idler metal drum.
5.
To install the new sanding belt, reverse the procedure described above, then
readjust the tracking as described earlier in section “start-up”.
WARNING:
Do not start Finisher before checking for proper sanding belt
tracking.
Do not operate machine with access door open.
Never leave machine running while unattended. Turn it off.
As individual sanding belt wears from use, it will become necessary to
make minor tracking adjustments to keep sanding belts centered.
