1.Carefully move the belt left to right by hand and adjust the tracking knob as necessary to achieve proper tracking. See Figure 19.

2.Before beginning this step, read the entitled Test Run on page 18. Connect to power and turn the machine on and off quickly. If the belt appears to track OK turn the machine on and fine tune the tracking. Tighten the track- ing lock knob.

Moving sanding belts are dangerously abrasive. Use extreme caution when work- ing near sanding surfaces. Use extreme caution while making adjustments that require momentary or extended operation of the edge sander. Failure to exercise care while sanding could result in severe injury.

Loosen the thumb screws, position the auxiliary table, re-tighten the thumb screws. See Figure

20.Note that the ends of the roller are tapered. This helps keep the belt tracked. When using the end roller for curved sanding, we recommend you use the center portion of the roller to assure prop- er belt tracking. This also prevents the edge of the workpiece from becoming tapered.
