ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according to the instruc-

tions. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.

UPPER GUARD

Install the upper guard (Fig. 8 - 2) onto the belt sanding arm

using the upper guard locking knob (Fig. 8 - 3) to secure it

in place.

BELT TRACKING

Belt tracking means adjusting the belt to ride in the center

of the rollers so that it runs true (does not wander left or

right during operation). The sander is equipped with a belt

tracking adjustment knob (Fig. 8 - 1).

To adjust the belt tracking:

1. Remove the upper guard locking knob (Fig. 8 - 3) and the

upper guard (Fig. 8 - 2).

2. While holding the side cover in place, remove the three

screws and washers holding the cover in place (Fig. 8 - 5.

Fig. 9 - 1 & 2). Remove the side cover.

3. Rotate the sanding disc with your hand. This causes the

belt to slowly rotate. Watch to see if it starts to move left or

right (toward or away from the body of the sander). If the

belt wanders from the belt rollers, use the belt tracking ad-

justment knob (Fig. 8 - 1) to adjust the angle of the rollers.

Keep rotating the disc with one hand while turning the belt

tracking knob until the belt rides in the center of the rollers.

3. Re-install the side cover, upper guard, and upper guard

locking knob. Connect the cord to the power source. Turn

the sander ON and then quickly OFF to verify that the belt is

riding true in the center of the rollers. If it does not, repeat

the above steps to adjust the belt tracking.

SQUARING THE TABLE

The best results are obtained when the tables are square

(exactly 90°) with the belt and the disc sanding surfaces.

1. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the cord is disconnected from the power source.

2. Loosen the locking knobs for the disc table or the locking lever for the belt table. Place a square (not included) on

the table and adjust the table until it is square with the belt and the disc. Retighten the locking knobs/lever.
