ADJUSTMENTS

V-Belt Tension

The sanding motor V-belts that drive the sanding rollers (Figure 19) and the table lift motor that adjust table height (Figure 20), must be tensioned properly for best performance. Only replace the belt if it becomes frayed, cracked, or glazed. If one belt is bad, always replace both belts as a matched set. NOTE, Both table lift and sanding motor belts are adjusted the same way.

KEEP the sanding drum drive belts correctly adjusted. If the belts are loose, and the emergency stop is engaged, the sanding drum pulley will slip and not immediately stop in the event of an emergency!

To tension the V-belts, do these steps:

1.TURN-OFF and LOCK the master power switch so power cannot start your sander!

2.Remove the lower cover(s) on the sander (right cover for sanding belt motor, left cover for the conveyor height motor).

3.Turn both nuts clockwise to tighten the V- belts, or turn both nuts counterclockwise to loosen the V-belts.

4.The V-belt is properly tightened when it will move no more than 3⁄4" in the center with moderate pressure from your thumb.
