CHANGING A SANDING BELT – cont’d
4. Push the tension release lever back
into the side of the sanding belt
carrier.
5. Turn the ON/OFF switch on
momentarily and check to make sure
the sanding belt is centred on the rear
and front rollers. If the sanding belt is
not centred on the rollers, adjust the
sanding belt tracking as outlined in the
following section.
ADJUSTING THE SANDING BELT
TRACKING
If the sanding belt does not run in the
centre of the sanding belt rollers, the
sanding belt tracking adjustment knob
must be used to correct the sanding belt
alignment.
1. Hold the palm belt sander tightly.
Make sure the sanding belt is NOT
touching anything.
2. Turn the palm belt sander switch ON
and let the tool run for a few seconds.
3. While the sanding belt is turning, turn
the tracking adjustment knob (1) very
slightly and observe how the sanding
belt moves on the sanding belt rollers
(2) (Fig. 3).
NOTES:
a) Make very small adjustments and let
the tool run for a few seconds after
each adjustment to allow the sanding
belt to move to its new tracking
position on the rollers.
