CHANGING THE SANDING BELTS
CAUTION: Check the inside of the belt for
a "direction arrow". If present, install the belt
with the arrow pointing in the same direction
as the direction indicator on the housing.
1. Loosen the socket head screw using the 6
mm hex wrench provided.
2. Raise the belt sanding arm as shown.
3. Slide out one end of the tension lever as
shown to release belt tension.
4. Remove the tray located on the bottom of
the belt sanding arm by loosening the two
screws on the back of the belt sanding arm.
5. Slide the sanding belt off of the drive and
idler drums.
6. Slide new sanding belt over the drive and
idler drums. Ensure the belt is centred on both
drums and is the right way round.
7. Return the tension lever into its original po-
sition to apply tension to the belt.
8. Replace the tray and tighten the two screws
on the back of the belt sanding arm.
9. Lower the belt sanding arm and tighten the
socket head screw using the 6 mm hex wrench
provided.
10. Before using, check belt tracking as de-
scribed in the next section and adjust as neces-
sary.
BELT TRACKING
The belt-tracking adjustment is set at the fac-
tory so that the abrasive belt will run true on
the drums. If, however, the belt should track
to one side or the other, an adjustment can be
made by turning the tracking knob.
· Turning the knob clockwise will cause the belt
to track to the right (towards the disc sander).
· Turning the knob counter-clockwise will cause
the belt to track to the left side of the machine.
TO TRACK THE SANDING BELT
1. Rotate the sanding arm to the desired posi-
tion and tighten socket head screw to secure.
2. Turn power switch ON.
3. Note whether the belt tends to wander off
its track, and to which side (left or right) of the
sander.
- If the sanding belt does not move to either
side, it is tracking properly.
- If the sanding belt moves to the right (disc
side of the sander), turn the tracking knob
counter clockwise ¼ turn.
- If the sanding belt moves to the left (away
from the disc), turn the tracking knob clock-
wise ¼ turn.
4. Readjust tracking knob another ¼ turn, as
necessary.
