ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Numbered references in parenthesis (#1) refer to the included Parts List.
INSTALLING THE AIR COUPLER PLUG
Prepare a standard 1/4 in. NPT coupler plug (sold separately) for use
with your tool.
1. Wrap the external threads of the coupler plug with sealant tape.
a. Wrap tape in a clockwise direction so it will not unravel.
b. Do not tape all the threads. Leave several leading threads
unwrapped for easier alignment.
2. Screw the coupler plug into the tool's air inlet (#1) and tighten with
a wrench until snug.
3. Run the compressor at a low volume and check the connection for
air leaks. Do not use the tool until all air leaks are repaired or the
faulty component is replaced.
IMPORTANT! Vibration may cause failure if a quick coupler is
connected directly to the air tool. To overcome this, connect a
leader hose to the tool. A quick coupler may then be used to
connect the leader hose to the air line hose.
INSTALLING THE SANDING BELT
1.
Remove the rubber guard (#37)
2.
Retract the belt arm until the tension bar (#34) engages and the
arm locks in place.
3.
Install the sanding belt on the arm. Ensure that the belt is aligned
with the drive (#26) and idle (#38) pulleys.
4.
Secure the sanding belt by pressing the tension bar to release
the arm.
ADJUSTING THE BELT ANGLE
1.
Press the belt arm lever (#29) upwards to unlock.
2.
Adjust the angle of the belt arm to the desired position. Ensure that
the arm is pressed tightly towards the motor housing (#7) for
optimal belt tracking.
3.
Clamp down the belt arm lever (#29) to lock. If the arm is still loose,
tighten the belt arm screw (#36).
