WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED

STARTING, MAKE SURE POWER CORD IS UNPLUG-

GED BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO BAND-

SAW PARTS.

NOTE: The sanding bett cuts very rapidly. Practice with some scraps of wood first before you attempt to sand your actual workpiece.

1.To install the sanding belt and sanding platen, remove the front table, front cover, blade guard, and the blade.

2.Use a 1/8-inch hex "L" wrench and remove the upper and lower right blade guides. The mount- ing screw used for the upper blade guide will be used to hold the sanding platen in place.

3.Loosen the setscrews that hold the upper and lower backup bearings in place and push the bearings all the way back_ Tighten setscrews so bearings will remain.

4.Slide the sanding platen into the blade slot in the table and fasten to the upper blade guide

assembly where the right blade guide mounts. It may be necessary to loosen the left blade guide and slide it backwards until platen is in place.

5, Slide the upper left blade guide towards the sanding platen and tighten mounting screw securely.

6.Slide the lower teft blade guide towards the sanding platen until the platen rests 1/8-inch away from the right edge of the slot in the work table,

INSTALLING THE SANDING BELT

1.Install the sanding belt and adjust tension to the sanding position. (The letter "S" on the scale.)

2.Rotate the upper wheel by hand (clockwise) to check the sanding belt tracking. Adjust tracking if necessary. (Reference the blade tracking sec- tion for tracking procedure.)

3.After tracking the sanding belt if the belt and the platen do not align loosen the upper blade guide support and slide the support in or out to align. Then tighten set screws to hold support and platen in place, it may also be necessary to adjust the lower blade guide support to align the blade guide with the sanding platen.

NOTE: A new sanding belt will stretch with use, so check the tension often.
