5.Pull the sanding belt from the machine.
Note: Some sanding belts are designed to sand in only one direction and have arrows printed on the inside of the belt to show that direction. The front of the sanding drum sup- port has an arrow pointing up showing the direction the sanding belt will travel when in operation (see Figure 19). Match these two directions as you install the sanding belt.
The moving sanding belt and roller/drum are an entanglement hazard. To avoid the risk of serious personal injury, always close and secure the sanding belt access door before starting the sanding motor.
6.Slide the new sanding belt onto the upper sanding roller and sanding drum, then posi- tion it on the upper sanding roller so that it is just past the left oscillation disc, as shown in Figure 20.
