4. Place a straightedge across the TOP part of
the platen graphite and the main roller, and
adjust the main roller so that it is even with
the platen graphite at both the top and bot-
tom of the roller. Note—You can also adjust
the motor approximately
1
⁄8" behind the plat-
en and skip step 7, but this alternative may
be more more complicated.
5. Tighten the motor mount bolts carefully,
making sure not to move the motor from its
corrected position.
6. Recheck the main roller-to-platen alignment.
— If the alignment is correct, then it is adjust-
ed correctly. Proceed to step 7.
— If the alignment is incorrect, repeat steps
3-5.
7. Adjust the platen as described on the previ-
ous page.
8. Replace the sanding belt and dust port, and
retrack the sanding belt with the tracking
knob before resuming sanding operations.

— Idler Roller Incorrect: The distances
between the straightedge and the main
roller at both the top and bottom are more
or less than
1
⁄8". Adjust the idler roller.
