Sanding Belt

Tracking

After the sanding belt has been removed or replaced, it is necessary to adjust the sanding belt tracking. To adjust the sanding belt tracking:

It is necessary to plug the machine into a power source to visually check the sanding belt tracking. DO NOT attempt to perform any adjustments to the sanding belt while the machine is connected to a power source. Failure to unplug before adjusting the sanding belt could result in serious personal injury.

1.Press the ON switch and then the OFF switch immediately after. The sander should run just long enough to observe the track the sanding belt makes across the rollers.

2.If the sanding belt does not track on a cen- tered path across the rollers, adjustment is necessary.

3.Disconnect the machine from the power source!

4.Loosen the check nut shown in Figure 12.

5.Turn the adjustment knob counter-clockwise to adjust the tracking upward. Turn the adjust- ment knob clockwise to adjust the tracking downward.

6.Once sanding belt is consistently tracking across the center of the rollers, tighten down the check nut that was loosened in Step 4.

Main Table

Height

The main table is adjustable to accommodate a wide range of workpieces and sanding operations. Because the main table is designed with a special balance mount, it is easily adjusted up and down. To adjust the main table:

1.Loosen the lock handles on the front of the sander.

2.Move the main table to the desired height as shown in Figure 13.

3.While holding the main table at the desired height, tighten the lock handles loosened in Step 1.
