ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING BELT TABLE END SAFETY GUARD
The belt table end safety guard (A) Fig. 13 is not installed and should be installed
to ensure user safety during sanding operations. If you desire to make internal
curve sanding which requires the use of the drum portion of the sanding belt, this
end safety guard must not be installed. To install the end safety guard, follow
these instructions;
1. Undo and remove the 2 lock knobs (B) on both sides of the belt table.
2. Slide the end safety guard (A) under the lower safety guard tabs (C).
3. Line up the mounting holes and secure both safety guards together by
reinstalling the 2 lock knobs removed previously.
INSTALLING BELT DUST CHUTE WITH 2-1/2” OUTLET
To install the belt dust chute, follow these instructions;
1. Undo the 2 pan hd screws (B) from the belt casting and position the belt dust
chute (A) Fig.14 as shown and fasten it to the belt casting using the 2 pan hd
screws removed previously.
2. If you desire to connect this sander to dust collection system which uses a 4”
flex hose, install the supplied 2-1/2” to 4” dust chute adaptor (C) as shown in
Fig.14.
ADJUSTING SANDING BELT VERTICALLY OR HORIZONTALLY
The belt housing can be positioned horizontally or vertically. It can also be
positioned at any angle in between depending on your sanding needs. To adjust,
follow these instructions;
1. Loosen the two lock nuts (A) Fig.15 (the second hex. nut is under the one
shown).
2. Slowly lift or lower the belt housing to the desired angle. See scale (B) for the
sanding belt angle.
3. To secure into position, retighten the two lock nuts (A).
4. To obtain the perfect horizontal position, lower completely until it comes in
contact with the stop bolt underneath the belt housing.
INSTALLING TILTING TABLE TO SANDING BELT (VERTICAL POSITION)
As mentioned previously, the tilting table is most commonly installed to the
sanding disc but it can also be installed to the sanding belt when it is in its
vertical position. Please note the belt dust chute must be repositioned in order to
allow connecting a dust collection hose. To install the tilting table to the sanding
belt, follow these instructions;
1. Remove the tilting table assembly from the sanding disc position and
reposition it as shown in Fig.16.
2. Position the tilting table maximum 1/16” away from the sanding belt and then
secure the support shaft (A) Fig.16 in place by tightening the 2 set screws (B).
3. Before making vertical sanding belt operations with the tilting table installed,
remove the belt backstop.
ADJUSTING TILTING TABLE ANGLE
The tilting table can be tilted from 0º- 45º by loosening the table lock knob (C)
Fig.16, tilt the table to the desired angle as indicated on the table scale (D) and
retighten lock knob. Make sure the desired angle is true, to set the table square
with the belt, use a combination square. If the angle pointer needs to be
repositioned, loosen pointer screw and readjust.
