Tracking adjustments should be made while the sander is running. Keep one hand on the power
switch and be ready to flip off if the paper begins to move up or down too far.
1.
Turn off the sander and move the tension lever toward “loose.”
2.
Correct the position of the paper and move the tension lever toward “tight.”
3.
Turn on the sander and be ready to turn off quickly. Make the tracking adjustment by turning the
tracking adjustment screw with the adjustment screw driver.
Figure 2
shows a closeup of the tracking adjustment screw.
4.
Let the sander run for up to 1 minute. The belt should neither move so low that it grinds on the
platen, nor should it move so high that it exposes the platen face.
5.
Repeat steps 1-4 if necessary. When you’ve adjusted the sander so that it appears to be track-
ing properly, run it for 2 minutes or more to be absolutely sure.
NOTE:
The drive roller will have an apparent wobble. This wobble is what triggers the oscillations.
