Replacing the conveyor belt is a big job and requires moderate mechanical skill and a fair amount of patience. For planning purposes, expect to have your machine out of operation for at least a few hours.
As you remove hardware to complete these instructions, we recommend putting all the bolts, screws, washers, etc. back into the holes from which they came. This simple habit will take slightly longer when disassembling the machine, but it will save you a lot of time and reduce frus- tration during reassembly.
To replace the conveyor belt:
1.Disconnect power to the sander!
2.Remove the top cover (6 button head screws) and pulley cover (4 hex bolts).
3.Remove the rear dust scoop (4 button head screws).

5.Remove the sanding drums (4 hex nuts and 4 flat washers on each one).
6.Place the gauge blocks face down, as shown in Figure 45, raise the table to relieve the spring pressure on the pressure rollers, remove the pressure roller nuts, and lower the table to remove the pressure rollers.
