Sanding Belt Tracking; Main Table Height - Grizzly G9984 Owner's Manual

Sanding Belt
Tracking
After the sanding belt has been removed or
replaced, it is necessary to adjust the sanding belt
tracking. To adjust the sanding belt tracking:
It is necessary to plug the machine into a
power source to visually check the sand-
ing belt tracking. DO NOT attempt to per-
form any adjustments to the sanding belt
while the machine is connected to a power
source. Failure to unplug before adjusting
the sanding belt could result in serious
personal injury.
1. Press the ON switch and then the OFF switch
immediately after. The sander should run just
long enough to observe the track the sanding
belt makes across the rollers.
2. If the sanding belt does not track on a cen-
tered path across the rollers, adjustment is
necessary.
3. Disconnect the machine from the power
source!
4. Loosen the check nut shown in Figure 12.

5. Turn the adjustment knob counter-clockwise
to adjust the tracking upward. Turn the adjust-
ment knob clockwise to adjust the tracking
downward.
6. Once sanding belt is consistently tracking
across the center of the rollers, tighten down
the check nut that was loosened in Step 4.
Main Table
Height
The main table is adjustable to accommodate a
wide range of workpieces and sanding operations.
Because the main table is designed with a special
balance mount, it is easily adjusted up and down.
To adjust the main table:
1. Loosen the lock handles on the front of the
sander.
2. Move the main table to the desired height as
shown in Figure 13.
3. While holding the main table at the desired
height, tighten the lock handles loosened in
Step 1.
