Note:
After changing the sanding belt, it is highly recommended to verify and adjust
the sanding belt tracking before starting a sanding operation. See section below for
more information.
SANDING BELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
Proper sanding belt tracking can extend the life of the sanding belt and will prevent
the sanding belt from slipping off the rollers. The ideal adjustment is having the
sanding belt run perfectly straight between the rollers. Sanding belt tracking is done
as follows:
1. Manually turn the sanding belt by hand and observe the tracking (alignment) of
the sanding belt as it turns. If it turns straight no adjustment is needed.
2. If an adjustment is needed, loosen hex. nut (A) Fig.20.
3. Turn tracking adjustment knob (B) in small increments at a time. Turn knob
clockwise if the belt tracks towards the right. Turn knob counterclockwise if the
belt tracks towards the left.
4. Verify your adjustment, turn the sander on for a few seconds and check sanding
belt tracking. Adjust further if needed until the sanding belt runs perfectly straight
between the rollers. Retighten hex. nut (A) Fig.20.
REPLACING SANDING DISC
The sanding disc should be replaced when it becomes worn out as follows:
1. Remove the 3 pan head screws (A) Fig.21 then remove the safety guard (B).
2. Peel the sanding disc (A) Fig.22 off the sanding wheel. Remove the peel away
backing on the back of the new adhesive sanding disc and carefully stick it onto
the sanding wheel. Rotate wheel half a turn and stick the other half of the sanding
disc.
3. Reinstall the sanding disc safety guard (B) Fig.21.
