V-Belt Tension

KEEP the sanding drum drive belts correctly adjusted. If the belts are loose, and the emergency stop is engaged, the sanding drum pulley will slip and not immediately stop in the event of an emergency!

The V-belts that drive the sanding rollers must be ten- sioned properly for best performance.

To tension the V-belts, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE SANDER FROM POWER!

2.Remove the cover on the right-hand side of the lower portion of the sander.

3.The two nuts shown in Figure 30 are responsible for adjusting the V-belt tension. Turn both nuts clock- wise to tighten the V-belts, or turn both nuts coun- terclockwise to loosen the V-belts.

4.The V-belt is properly tightened when it will move no more than 3⁄4" in the center with moderate pressure from your thumb.
