TRACKING THE ABRASIVE BELT
To prevent excessive wear on both the sander and belt, NEVER allow the
abrasive belt to rub on the sander frame. To make sure that the belt is tracking
correctly, do the following:
Make sure that the trigger is in the “OFF” position before
connecting the tool to the power circuit.
1. Turn the tool over, rest the tool on
its front handle, and grasp the
rear handle with your left hand .
Rest your ring finger and little
finger on the trigger (Fig. 3).
2. Start the motor by squeezing the
trigger.
3. Turn the belt aligning screw (A)
Fig. 3 in either direction until the
edge of the belt is even with the
outer edge of the rear rubber-
covered pulley. The edge of the belt will extend beyond the edge of the
front pulley.
4. Turn the motor “OFF” and allow the sander to come to a COMPLETE STOP
before turning it right side up.

Depress the dust bag spring clips
(A) Fig. 4, and place the dust bag
spring (A) between the ridges on
the spout (B).
For most efficient operation, empty
the dust bag when it is half full. To
remove, squeeze the dust bag
spring clips (A) and pull the bag
straight up. Unzip the rear of the
bag and shake out the dust. Every
so often, turn the bag inside out and
brush the accumulated dust from
the inside.
