STEEL PLATEN ADJUSTMENT

The steel platen 

should protrude 1/8” to 1/4”

(approx.) past the motor drive roller 

and idle roller

in order to be in complete contact with the abra-

sive belt.

The steel platen is initially set at the factory but, due
to vibrations, over time, may need to be re-adjusted.

1.

Turn off and unplug the sander from the power 
source.

2.

Remove the sanding belt. If needed, refer back to 
section “Replacement of the sanding belt”.

3.

Use a straightedge or a combination square to 
measure the clearance between the steel platen 
and the drive roller 

, and between the steel 

platen and the idle roller 

. If the width of the 

gaps is more than 1/8” to 1/4” (approx.) or if the 
width of both gaps is not more or less the same,
re-adjust the steel platen as follows:

4.

Loosen the two hex head bolts 

using the sup-

plied 14 mm wrench or a 14 mm socket wrench,
then tap on one or both sides of the steel platen to 
move it either forward or backward 

until you 

obtain a gap of 1/8” to 1/4” (approx.) between 
the steel platen and each of the two rollers.

5.

Retighten the two hex head bolts then reinstall 
the sanding belt.

SPRING FATIGUE COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENT

Over time, repeated adjustment of the sanding belt
tension knob 

will cause spring 

fatigue. If you

don’t obtain proper tension by only adjusting the ten-
sion knob, loosen the nut 

, then turn the adjustment

screw 

clockwise. Retighten the nut.

Note: Turn the screw in 1 turn increments, recheck
and adjust again as needed.

LUBRICATION

Keep the tension mechanism hinge (located at the rear of the sander, beside the spring adjustment screw 

) well

lubricated. Reapply lubricant on top of pin 

(see picture above) as needed.

Note: Use any dry lubricant, available at any hardware store.

NOTE: The motor and all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated – no further lubrication is required.
