INSTALLING AND REMOVING SANDING BELTS

1.UNPLUG THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

2.Unless it has already be taken off, remove the knob (1) from the top of the sander. Remove the side cover (3).

3.Put the belt over the upper wheel (8) and large belt wheel (29).

4.Lift up on the belt tracking knob (19) and slide the belt over the lower belt wheel.

5.Replace the cover.

ADJUSTING BELT TRACKING

1.The belt tracking adjustment was set at the factory, so the belt should run true on its pulleys. If, however, the belt does run to one side or the other, or if you’ve just installed a new belt, you can adjust the track using the tracking knob (19).

2.Stand at the left side of the machine, on the far side from the “on/off’ switch. Turn the tracking knob clockwise to move the belt away from you (your right when standing in front). Turn the knob counterclockwise to move the belt closer to you (your left from the front). This operation usually needs only a very slight turn of the tracking knob.

USE OF THE BACKSTOP

1.The backstop (26) is made of heavy gauge steel to support the workpiece you’re sanding. The backstop should be no more than 1/16” away from the back of the sanding belt.

2.If the backstop needs adjustment, there are two bolts (24) and two washers (25) which hold the backstop in place. To move the backstop closer to the belt, simply loosen these and move the backstop.

3.For some operations, such as polishing or strapping, it’s advisable to remove the backstop entirely by unscrewing the two bolts, two washers, and the backstop itself.
