WARNING: Make sure that the switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the power cord. In the event of a power failure, move the switch to the “OFF” position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

LOCKING THE SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION

IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use. To lock the machine, grasp the switch toggle (A) and pull it out of the switch (Fig. 19). With the switch toggle (A) removed, the switch will not operate. However, should the switch toggle be removed while the saw is running, the machine can be turned “OFF”, but cannot be restarted without re-inserting the switch toggle.

TRACKING THE SANDING BELT

1.Turn the switch “ON” to see if the sanding belt moves to one side or the other on the sanding drums. If the belt rides on the center of the sanding drums, it is tracking properly. Turn the switch “OFF”.

2.If the sanding belt moves toward the disc, turn the tracking knob (A) Fig. 20 counter-clockwise 1/4 turn.

3.If the sanding belt moves away from the disc, turn the tracking knob (A) Fig. 20 clockwise 1/4 turn.

4.Check again to see if the belt is tracking properly.
