SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS

Belt Replacement		Belt Tracking

With the exception of Belt Tracking, adjustments to your Combination Sander should be made with the power off and the machine unplugged.

Unlock the Quick-Release Lever by pulling the lever straight out. Figure 7. Slide the belt off the rollers straight toward you. Reverse this process to install a new belt.

Figure 7.

The goal of this procedure is to achieve proper belt tracking that prevents the belt from wander- ing off to either side.

1.To adjust the tracking, quickly turn the sander on and off. Observe the belt’s behav- ior. If the belt moves to one side or the other, you will need to adjust the tracking knob.

Figure 8.

2.Turn the knob approximately 1⁄4 turn clock- wise to move the belt towards the tracking knob, counter-clockwise to move the belt away.

3.Turn the machine on and off again quickly to see if the tracking has improved. If not, repeat step 1. If tracking is improved move to step 4.

4.Now with the sander running, adjust the knob to fine tune the belt tracking.
