Motor Mount Tracking Adjustment

Referring to Figure 14:

The OES-80CS comes with tracking adjustment bolts (A) on the motor plate. These are set at the factory and should not require any further adjustment. If, however, you are not able to track the belt with the Belt Tracking Adjustment described in the previous section, the motor mount bolts will have to be adjusted.

Note: The Motor Mount Tracking Adjustment is a course adjustment. Use the Belt Tracking Adjustment first for fine adjustment. If it cannot be adjusted, then use the procedure described below.

To adjust:

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2.Slightly loosen the four motor mount nuts (B) just enough so the tracking screws (A) can be turned to make an adjustment.

3.Loosen the two locking hex nuts (C) that secure the tracking screws (A).

4.Turn one screw (A) a 1/4 turn and rotate the sanding belt by hand to observe which direction the adjustment is causing the belt to move. If it is traveling in the direction needed to correctly track the belt go to step 6.

5.If the belt starts to travel in the wrong direction, back off a quarter turn and tighten the other screw a quarter turn. This should start the belt moving in the proper direction.

6.Tighten both locking nuts (C) and motor mount nuts (B). Then return to the Belt Tracking Adjustment section (previous page) and again attempt to fine tune the tracking.

Table Adjustment

Do not position table below sanding belt! Keep an overlap of at least 1/16” between table and sanding belt to avoid material and/or fingers getting caught! Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

1.Loosen two lock knobs (A, Fig. 15).

2.Raise or lower work table to desired level.

3.Tighten two lock knobs.
