Hold the sanding belt with one hand to keep
tension on the belt and roll away the drum
from you with the other hand to wrap the
belt onto the drum until you reach the
clamping device on the drum.

Move the clamping device forward and slide

the belt is firmly secured.

DEPTH OF CUT
One full turn of the height adjustment hand
wheel anti-clockwise, will give 1/64" depth
of cut. However the correct depth of cut
when surface sanding depends on many
variables, such as the hardness of the
wood, the width of the work-piece and the
feed rate.

WARNING!
Do not overlap when wrapping the belt
onto the sanding drum. A minimum 1/8"
gap between the edges may be
necessary. Always make sure the belt is
wrapped tightly onto the drum and is
secured properly on both ends. If the
sanding belt comes loose during the
operation, it could cause kickback.
