Removing/Installing the Sanding Belt
Tensioning and Tracking
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from accidental start, make sure tool is unplugged before removing or installing sanding belt.
Some sanding belts have a “directional arrow” on the inside or smooth side. If there is an arrow, the belt must run in the direction of the arrow so the splice will not come apart. If there is no arrow the belt may be put on either direction.
1.Slide the tension lever to the left to release the belt tension.
2.Remove the sanding belt.
3.Place the replacement sanding belt over the drums as shown. Make sure the belt is centered on both drums.
4.Slide the tension lever to the right to apply belt tension.
5.Plug in the power cord. Insert the yel- low switch key and turn the unit “ON” and immediately “OFF”, noting if the belt tends to slide off the drums. If it did not tend to slide off, it is tracking prop- erly.
6.If the sanding belt runs down towards the table, turn the tracking knob clock- wise 1/4 turn.
7.If the sanding belt, runs up away from the table, turn the tracking knob coun- terclockwise 1/4 turn.
8.Turn switch “ON” and immediately “OFF” again, noting belt movement. Readjust tracking knob if necessary.
