5. Remove the worn sanding belt and install a new
one onto the drums.
Tip: To extend belt life and avoid premature breakage, take note
of the direction arrows
printed on the inside of the sanding
belt to make sure you install the belt in the correct direction.

Note: Belt tracking adjustments may be necessary after changing or replacing a sanding belt, to counterbalance for
unevennesses between sanding belts. If needed, refer back to section “Sanding Belt Tracking Adjustment”.
Helpful hint on sanding belt tension: Determining correct belt tension is somewhat subjective. It is learned
through experience and is somewhat dependant on personal preference. A properly tensioned belt will
last longer and be much less likely to break prematurely. If the belt is too loose, it will slip off during oper-
ation. A belt that is too tight will break prematurely. Make a sanding test and readjust if needed.
REPLACEMENT OF THE GRAPHITE COATING ON THE PLATEN
The graphite coating on the platen will wear and over
time require replacement. Every 3 years (approx.) in small
shop settings and up to 10 years in home shop settings,
the graphite coating will begin to show visible signs of
wear and will need to be peeled off (using a solvent
based stripper) and removed. A replacement graphite
coated paper strip should be glued (with contact
cement) onto the platen in it’s place.
Note: Most retail outlets that sell stationary power tools and
abrasives products do stock graphite replacement strips for
most popular sizes of sanders.

Note: You first will have to remove the two knobs and
the retaining plate . Put them back in place
after the replacement coating has been glued for a bet-
ter adhesion.
