with one hand. Press the
on/off switch to start the

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.

against the rear guide strip. Once the belt stabilizes you can
begin operation.
2. Pull the belt tension lever out, toward the front of the sander.
4. Close the belt
tension lever.
