Belt Tracking
“Tracking” the sanding belt means to center the belt on its rollers, so that it runs balanced and does not make contact with the sides of the belt cover.
To track the sanding belt:
1.DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY!
2.Rotate the grinding wheel.
3.As you rotate the grinding wheel, watch how the sanding belt rides on the upper roller. If the belt is tracking properly, the sanding belt should be centered between the sides of the belt cover as shown in Figure 8.

cover edges at the upper roller.
5.While spinning the wheel, turn the tracking control knob (Figure 9) counterclockwise to make the belt move to the left, or turn the tracking control knob clockwise to make the belt move to the right.

6.After the belt is centered, spin the grinding wheel approximately ten times to ensure that the belt continues to track properly.
Dust Port
The dust port is located behind the sanding belt, below the belt roller. The opening is 11⁄2" in diam- eter and can be connected to a utility vacuum (such as a SHOP•VAC®) or a dust collector.
To connect the dust port to a dust collection system:
1.Place a hose clamp over the dust hose.
2.Slide the hose over the dust port.
3.Secure the hose airtight with the hose clamp.
4.Check the hose with a light tug to ensure it is secure.
