l. The sanding belt is placed on the two pul-leys, attention being paid to the direction in which
the belt joint faces (see Sketch 2). If the belt is fitted the wrong way round the joint will
inevitably tear.
2 . The tension of the belt is adjusted by means of the regulating screw (Sketch 1, M 6.17 - right
hand) unti.l the belt can still be deflected about 25/64" by finger: pressure·.
3. To maintain the belt tension at this value the regulating screw must be locked by means of the
star knob (Sketch l, M 6.24 - left hand). This star knob should not be slackened off more than
is necessary to enable the regulating screw to be adjusted conveniently.
4 . The sanding belt must not rub against either the casing or the cover pkite. It must therefore be
ad usted to ensure that it runs centrally on the pulleys. This adjustment is effected by means
