Tracking Adjustment
CAUTION: Ensure body parts, cords, workpieces and any loose items are clear of
the sanding belt before performing the tracking adjustment operation.
It is necessary to ensure the belt is tracking correctly, in
a straight line, to avoid the belt 'tracking off' the belt
sander's rollers.
1. Turn the sander upside down and hold it firmly with
one hand. Press the on/off switch (2) to start the
sander and observe the tracking of the sanding belt.
2. If the belt tracks outward, turn the belt tracking
knob (5) clockwise. If the belt tracks inward turn the
belt tracking knob (5) counter clockwise. (Fig. 8)
3. Adjust the belt until its outer edge is even with the
outer edge of the front and rear rollers. (Fig. 8)
Make sure the belt does not rub against the rear guide strip (10). Once the belt
stabilizes you can begin operation.
Note:
Always check your belt after it has been in use as it may require
further adjustment.
Sanding Tips
Never force the sander. The weight of the sander supplies adequate pressure,
allowing the sandpaper to do the work. Applying additional pressure will slow the
motor, rapidly wear the sandpaper, and greatly reduce the sander speed. This will
slow the removal rate and produce an inferior quality surface.
Be sure to check your workpiece often. The sander is capable of removing material
rapidly, especially with coarse paper.
Do not sand on one spot for too long. The sander's rapid action may remove too
much material, creating an uneven surface.
