The belt tracking must be adjusted correctly to
make the belt ride parallel with the table.
To adjust the belt tracking, do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE SANDER!
2. Make sure all guards are in place and the
belt locking lever is in the locked position
as shown in Figure 9.
3. Loosen the knurled adjustment nut away
from the roller pin (Figure 10).
4. Check the current belt position and note if
it needs to move left or right. Figure 11
shows a properly tracked belt with
1
⁄16" of
the roller exposed on each side.
5. Adjust the tension bolt clockwise to make
the belt ride to the left, and adjust
counter-clockwise to make the belt ride to
the right.
6. Plug in the sander.
7. Start the sander and observe the corrected
belt tracking.
8. Stop the sander and repeat steps 1-7 until
the desired tracking has been met.
9. Finger tighten the adjustment nut against
the roller pin when the belt is riding cor-
rectly.
