Installing Dust
Collection Hose
The dust collection for the sanding disc and the
belt are fed into the same port that is located on
the end of the sander as shown in Figure 15.
To connect your machine to a dust collection
system:
1. Place a 2
1
⁄2" diameter hose over the dust
port.
2. Secure the hose in place with a hose clamp.
Once the sanding belt is installed, test the belt
tracking to see if the belt slides off the drum.
To test the tracking:
1. Remove all tools from the sander.
2. Plug the sander into the power source. Flip
the switch ON and immediately turn the
sander OFF.
3. If the sanding belt moves toward the disc,
turn the tracking knob shown in Figure 14
clockwise
1
⁄4 turn.
5. Flip the switch ON and immediately turn the
sander OFF. The belt is tracking properly if it
stays centered on the drive drums. If the belt
moves to the side, return to step 3.
Note—Listen for any unusual noises, vibrations
or rubbing while adjusting the tracking. If anything
sounds unusual, stop the sander immediately.
Disconnect the machine from the power source
and find the source of the problem before operat-
ing further. If you cannot locate the source of an
unusual noise or vibration, feel free to contact our
service department for help.
