G1015 Knife Belt Sander/Buffer -12-
Drive Wheel
The drive wheel propels the sanding belt. To
secure the drive wheel to the motor shaft:
1. Slide a wheel flange, cupped side out, over
the motor shaft.
2. Slide the drive wheel over the motor shaft
3. Secure with the motor shaft hex nut. See
Figure 8.
Figure 8. Attaching drive wheel.
3. Tighten the three (3)
5
⁄16" - 18 x 1" cap screws
which hold the pivot arm bracket to the
mounting bracket. Make sure this assembly
is pushed far enough back that the bottom
of the pivot arm bracket is approximately
parallel to the base.
4. The mounting bracket can now be attached
to the base or benchtop. Drill holes for the
bracket using the four holes in the bracket
as a guide (if you did not already pre-drill
these holes). Secure with
5
⁄16" machine bolts
or
5
⁄16" lag bolts.
5. Reattach the pivot arm by sliding it onto the
bushing. The two welded bosses should be
pointed outward as shown in Figure 7.
Tighten the two setscrews on the pivot arm.
After assembly, the belt sander can be tilt-
ed at any angle from vertical to horizontal
by loosening and tightening those two
setscrews.
