belt tensIon
warnInG!
ensure the sander is switch off and unplugged from the mains power supply.
6.2.1.
The belt tension has been pre-set by the manufacturer but will require adjustment after a period of use or when a new belt is fitted.

One 360° turn on the adjusting rod will move the belt roller in or out by approximately 2.5mm.
We recommend small adjustments are made by turning the adjusting rod only to the degree that access will allow the spanner to
move and then test the belt tension before making further adjustments.
