10.Sanding platen is presently in a horizontal position. Pull lock handle forward (A, Fig. 3) to unlock platen assembly, tilt sanding platen to the vertical position, and push lock handle to lock platen assembly in place.

Note: do not turn lock handle. Turning or rotating the lock handle will change the tension of the locking assembly. This may cause the locking assembly not to work; making it necessary for adjustment before using the machine.

11.Remove the belt guards by unscrewing two lock knobs (A, Fig. 4). Take out sanding belt and fence from behind the belt guard.

12.Place handle (B, Fig. 4) on belt tensioning shaft. Take tension off the mechanism by moving the handle to the left.

13.Make sure that direction arrow on belt matches direction indicator on the belt cover.

14.Place belt on both rollers so that the edge of the belt is even with the edge of the rollers.

15.Tension the belt by moving the tension handle lever (B, Fig. 4) to the right. Rotate the belt by hand in the direction indicated by the arrow on the belt guard. If belt tracking needs adjustment, see “Belt Tracking Adjustment” pages 11-12.

16.Attach the extension bracket (A, Fig. 5) using three hex cap bolts, three lock washers and three flat washers (B, Fig. 5). The hardware can be found in the bag with the 3mm Hex Wrench.

17.Fasten the extension table (C, Fig. 5) to the support rod (D, Fig. 5) by tightening the hex cap screw (E, Fig. 5) against the flat on the support rod. Tighten the jam nut.

18.Raise the table to a good height and tighten two set screws on the bracket.

19.Mount the small bracket between the backside of the extension bracket and the sander using two hex cap bolts, two lock washers and two flat washers.

20.Connect the sander to the power source, turn on the power to the machine just enough to start the belt rotating and then turn off. Do this several times and observe belt tracking. The belt should not wander up or down. It should be centered between the two belt rollers. If adjust is necessary refer to “Belt Tracking Adjustment” pages 11-12.

21.Reinstall the guards and secure in place with lock knobs.

22.Attach the extension cover (D, Fig. 6) with three pan head screws and one lock knob.
