INSTALLING NEW BELT
After the old belt has been removed
proceed as follows:
1. Make sure the arrowheads marked on
the back of the sanding belt point to the
direction indicator attached on the belt
guard.
2. Place and center the new belt on both
the rollers.
3. Tighten the belt tension by shifting the
belt tension control lever downwards.
4. Install the tilt scale, the table and the
belt guard back.
BELT TRACKING
ADJUSTMENT
Belt tracking means where the belt rides on
the rollers. The belt should always be
centered on both the rollers.
To adjust the sanding belt tracking:
1. Turn the sander on for 2 or 3 seconds
and see if the belt wanders to the left or
right.
If the sanding belt is not riding the rollers on
a centered path, adjustment is necessary.
2. Turn off the sander and disconnect the
cord from the power source.
3. Loosen the “fix nut” shown in figure-8.

4. Check if the sanding belt is tracking
forward or backward. Turn the
adjustment nut (shown in figure-8)
counter-clockwise to move the belt
forward. Turn the adjustment nut
clockwise to move the belt backwards.
5. Connect the machine to the power
source and turn it on. Observe the blade
tracking on the rollers.
If the blade is tracking in the center, the
adjustment is properly done.
If the belt is still not tracking in the center,
repeat from step 3 to 5.
STOP FENCE
When the sanding platen is set for
horizontal sanding, the stop fence should
be used to prevent the work piece flying out
while sanding.
Install the stop fence to the sanding platen
using the two lock knobs.
