Belt Tracking Adjustment
1.Connect the machine to the power source. One time quickly turn the machine “ON” and “OFF”. This will allow you to view the belts tendency to run down the middle, to the right, or to the left. The belt should run centered on the sanding drums. Do not let the belt run off the drum to the right, or left. The belt will tear when it contacts parts of the machine.
2.Disconnect the machine from the power source. Move the tension handle (A, Fig. 10) to the “Loosen” position. Center the belt again and move the handle to the “Tighten” position.
3.Release the tracking lock (B, Fig. 10) by pulling up on the handle. If the beIt has a tendency to track left of center, turn the adjusting knob (C, Fig. 10) counterclockwise until the belt tracks in the center.
4.If the belt has a tendency to track right of center, turn the adjusting knob clockwise until the belt tracks in the center.
5.Secure the tracking lock by pushing the lever down. Note: when tightening the tracking lock the belt may tend to move to the left.
6.Fine tune tracking by turning the adjusting knob (C, Fig. 10).
Note: To prevent the sanding belt from stretching and to prolong belt life, remove the belt tension from the sander if not using for a long period of time.
Disc Table Adjustment
1.Disconnect machine from the power source.
2.Place a square on the table next to the sanding disc (Figure 11). Loosen locking handle and move the table to 90°. Tighten locking handles.
3.Place a combination square (A, Fig. 12) in the miter gauge slot (B, Fig. 12) and check the distance from the slot to the edge of the sanding disc. Slide the square along the slot to the other end of the disc and check the distance. The distances should be equal to ensure that the miter gauge travels parallel to the disc.
