Belts and Discs
The Sanding Disc accepts 6" diameter cloth or paper backed sanding discs. The belt sander requires a 1" x 42" sanding belt. For disc or belt sanding, we recommend a 100 grit (medium) material for general purpose sanding, a 60 grit (coarse) material for rough work, and a 150 grit (fine) material for finish jobs.
BELT REPLACEMENT
1.Remove the belt table and the belt guard.
2.Release tension on the belt.
3.Slip the belt off the top wheel and release the Belt Tensioning Lever.
4.Remove the belt from the machine.
5.Slide the new belt over the lower wheel, push back on the Belt Tensioning Lever, and slip the belt over the top wheel. Release the tension. Note: Make sure the directional arrows point down toward the table when installed.
6.Replace the belt guard and table.
DISC REPLACEMENT
1.Remove Sanding Disc Table.
2.Carefully peel off old sanding disc paper. Make sure disc is free of all adhesives and foreign materials. Do not use petroleum- based solvents to clean the aluminum disc. This adversely affects adhesion.
3.Peel paper backing from new sanding paper disc.
4.Center the sanding disc on the aluminum disc. Hold in place for one minute using firm pressure.
5.Replace Sanding Disc Table.
