Replacing the conveyor belt is a big job and requires moderate mechanical skill and a fair amount of patience. For planning purposes, expect to have your machine out of operation for at least a few hours.
As you remove hardware to complete these instructions, we recommend putting all the bolts, screws, washers, etc. back into the holes from which they came. This simple habit will take slight- ly longer when disassembling the machine, but it will save you a lot of time and reduce frustration during reassembly.
To replace the conveyor belt:
1.DISCONNECT POWER TO THE SANDER!
2.Remove the top cover by loosening the hex bolts and removing the Phillips head screws (Figure 40) securing the top cover support.
