Replacing the conveyor belt is a big job and
requires moderate mechanical skill and a fair
amount of patience. For planning purposes,
expect to have your machine out of operation for
at least a few hours.
As you remove hardware to complete these
instructions, we recommend putting all the bolts,
screws, washers, etc. back into the holes from
which they came. This simple habit will take slight-
ly longer when disassembling the machine, but it
will save you a lot of time and reduce frustration
during reassembly.
To replace the conveyor belt:
1.
DISCONNECT POWER TO SANDER!
2. Remove the top cover (6 button head screws),
table height handwheel, and open the pulley
cover.
Model G0449/G0450 (Mfd. Since 8/13)
3. Remove the V-belts (see Page 37 for help).
The drum sander should now look similar to
Figure 69.

4.
Remove the sanding drums (4 mountitng
nuts and 4 flat washers on each drum).
5.
Place the gauge blocks face down, as shown
in Figure 70, raise the table to relieve
the spring pressure on the pressure rollers,
remove the pressure roller nuts, and lower
the table to remove the pressure rollers.

rollers to relieve spring tension with the table.
