Replacing the feed belt is a simple process, but
will require tensioning and tracking when com
-
pleted.
To replace the feed belt:
1. Disconnect power to the sander!
2. Use a permanent marker, paper correction
fluid, or fingernail polish to mark the front of
the feed belt tensioning bolt
(Figure 39) on
both sides. This step will aid you in
returning
the bolts to their original position, reducing
the amount of tracking necessary
.
3. Loosen the lock nuts shown in Figure 39 and
turn both of the feed belt adjustment bolts
counterclockwise one full turn at a time to
release the tension from the feed belt.
4. Remove the outside table cap screws shown
in Figure 40 and loosen the corresponding
cap screws on the inside edge
.

7. Re-install and tighten all of the table cap
screws.

ly, then follow the tensioning instructions on

Note:

Note: One side of the belt may need to be
tighter than the other for the belt to track
straight.
