Belt Installation

To install or replace the sanding belt:

1.If you are using a different length belt than the one supplied (72'') you will need to adjust the distance between the two wheels. See Section 5: Adjustments, Belt Tension for more detail.

2.Locate a position where the belt fits snugly over both the upper and lower drive wheels.

3.Remove the belt and raise the upper assembly approximately 14". Tighten the two (2) knobs.

4.Depress the belt tensioning knob. See

Figure 11.

5.After making sure that the direction arrows on the belt match the direction of move- ment, slip the belt over the upper and lower drive wheels and center it on the wheels.

Tool Rest

The tool rest provides secure, angle-adjustable support for your workpiece while sanding. To install the tool rest:

1.Attach the tool rest bracket to the pivot arm bracket with the 516" - 18 x 1" cap screw and flat washer included. See Figure 12.

2.Attach the tool rest to the tool rest bracket with the 516" - 18 x 34" cap screw and flat washer included.

Sanding or polishing operations can be per- formed against either the sanding shoe of the drive wheel as a backstop. If sanding against the drive wheel, remove the tool rest and its support bracket to make sure the workpiece does not jam against the rest. This can create a pinch point trapping a finger against the belt.
