BEFORE STARTING THE SANDING BELT MOTOR, CHECK THAT THE
SANDING BELT IS TRACKING PROPERLY, AS FOLLOWS:
1.
“Jog” the sanding belt motor by quickly hitting the “start” then “stop” button such
that the belt turn slowly, then stop.
2.
Continue jogging the motor and check the belt to see that it stays roughly centered
on its forward pulley.
3.
Tracking adjustment handle is located to the left of the sanding belt. Clockwise
rotation of the adjustments moves the belt to the left and counter clockwise rotation
moves the belt to the right. Adjust accordingly as required so that the belt is
tracking properly while running slowly.
4.
Push sanding motor start button. Fine adjust the tracking of the belt at full speed.
WARNING:
As the individual sanding belt wears from use, it will become
necessary to make minor tracking adjustments to keep the sanding
belt centered.
