4.Speed Adjuster (56): The Speed Adjuster features settings from “1 to 6”, with “1” being the lowest speed at approximately 1,800 RPM and “6” being the highest speed at approximately 2,650 RPM. Rotate the Speed Adjuster to select the desired speed at which the Belt Sander will run. (See Figure E.)

5.Front Handle (31) and Lock Knob (55): The Front Handle may be adjusted to three different positions. To do so, loosen the Lock Knob. Move the Front Handle to the desired position. Then, retighten the Lock Knob. (See Figure E.)

6.Adjusting Knob (54): When the Sanding Belt (66) is properly tracking, the Belt will remain centered and will run smoothly over the rollers of the tool. To adjust the tracking of the Sanding Belt, rotate the Adjusting Knob clockwise or counter clockwise. The Sanding Belt is properly tracking if, when turned on, the Belt does not slip off the rollers. (See Figure E.)

7.Sanding Belt (66): The Sanding Belt should always be kept clean of sanding de- bris and properly installed in the Belt Sander. Using dull Sanding Belts will place an excessive load on the Belt Sander and increases the possibility of burning the workpiece.

To install the Sanding Belt:

a.Unplug the Belt Sander from its electrical outlet.

b.Lay the Belt Sander down on its side with its Lever (39) facing upward.

(See Figure E.)

c.Pull out on the Lever (39). (See Figure E.)

d.Insert the Sanding Belt (66) around both rollers, making sure the arrow on the inside of the Belt is pointing in the direction of rotation as indicated on the hous- ing of the tool. (See Figure E.)

e.Center the Sanding Belt (66) over the rollers and bottom plate of the Belt Sander. Then move the Lever (39) back in its original position to restore belt tension.

(See Figure E.)

To remove the Sanding Belt:

a.Place the Belt Sander on its side with its Lever (39) facing upward.
