LOCKING SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION

When the machine is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use.

This can be done by grasping the switch toggle (B) and pulling it out of the switch, as shown in Fig. 20. With the switch toggle (B) removed, the switch will not operate. However, should the switch toggle be removed while the sander is running, it can be turned “OFF” once, but cannot be restarted without inserting the switch toggle (B).

TRACKING THE SANDING BELT

1.Turn the switch “ON” and “OFF” to see if the sanding belt tracks correctly. If the belt does not move to one side or the other and rides on the center of the sanding drums, the belt is tracking properly.

2.If the sanding belt moves toward the disc, turn the tracking knob (A) Fig. 18 counterclockwise 1/4 turn.

3.If the sanding belt moves away from the disc, turn the tracking knob (A) Fig. 18 clockwise 1/4 turn.

4.Turn the switch “ON” and “OFF” again to check the tracking. Adjust again, if necessary.
