Adjusting Tensioner
The belt tensioner is normally adjusted as the belt stretches. Two good indications of belt stretch (or a loose belt) are if the belt slaps against the plat- en while running or if it slips on the rollers.
On the other hand, if the belt tension is too tight, you will have a hard time installing and removing the belt when the belt tension is released.
To adjust the belt tensioner:
1.Disconnect the sander from the power source!
2.Lower the table as far as it will go.
3.Loosen the tracking lock knob, release the belt tension, and remove the sanding belt from the sander.
4.Move the belt tension lever to the position where the belt is normally tensioned.
5.Locate the belt tension nut and the tracking control bolt shown in Figure 35.
