Belt Installation
To install or replace the sanding belt:
1. If you are using a different length belt than
the one supplied (72'') you will need to
adjust the distance between the two
wheels. See Section 5: Adjustments, Belt
Tension for more detail.
2. Locate a position where the belt fits snugly
over both the upper and lower drive
wheels.
3. Remove the belt and raise the upper
assembly approximately
1
⁄4". Tighten the
two (2) knobs.
4. Depress the belt tensioning knob. See
Figure 11.
5. After making sure that the direction arrows
on the belt match the direction of move-
ment, slip the belt over the upper and lower
drive wheels and center it on the wheels.

Knob
Sanding or polishing operations can be per-
formed against either the sanding shoe of the
drive wheel as a backstop. If sanding against
the drive wheel, remove the tool rest and its
support bracket to make sure the workpiece
does not jam against the rest. This can create
a pinch point trapping a finger against the belt.
