Back Stop
Attach the back stop as shown in Figure 16. Set
the back stop no more than

potentially dangerous situation.

Belt Installation
1. Loosen the belt tracking lock knob on the top
left of the machine. Open the lid of the dust
port and move the quick release lever to its
locked open position. See Figure 17.
2. Check the back side of the belt for an arrow
indicating direction of rotation. The sanding
belt rotates counter-clockwise.
3. Slide the belt over the rollers. Move the quick
release lever back to its tensioned position.
See Figure 18. Belt tracking is covered in
the next section.
DO NOT attempt to operate this machine
without this back stop in place and properly
adjusted as described above. An improper
gap between the stop and the belt can cre-
ate a situation where a finger or hand can
get trapped against the moving belt.
Serious injury could occur.
