Removing/Installing the Sanding
Belt
Tensioning and Tracking
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental start, make
sure tool is unplugged before
removing or installing sanding
belt.
Some sanding belts have a “directional
arrow” on the inside or smooth side. If
there is an arrow, the belt must run in the
direction of the arrow so the splice will not
come apart. If there is no arrow the belt
may be put on either direction.
1. Slide the tension lever to the left to
release the belt tension.
2. Remove the sanding belt.
3. Place the replacement sanding belt
over the drums as shown. Make sure
the belt is centered on both drums.
4. Slide the tension lever to the right to
apply belt tension.
5. Plug in the power cord. Insert the yel-
low switch key and turn the unit “ON”
and immediately “OFF”, noting if the
belt tends to slide off the drums. If it did
not tend to slide off, it is tracking prop-
erly.
6. If the sanding belt runs down towards
the table, turn the tracking knob clock-
wise 1/4 turn.
7. If the sanding belt, runs up away from
the table, turn the tracking knob coun-
terclockwise 1/4 turn.
8. Turn switch “ON” and immediately
“OFF” again, noting belt movement.
Readjust tracking knob if necessary.
