rollers or table, loosen tracking adjustment

The conveyor belt will stretch when new and will
eventually need to be tensioned. This is most
obvious if the conveyor belt starts slipping on the
rollers.
When you tension the conveyor belt, focus on
adjusting the tensioning bolts in even increments.
Adjusting one side more than the other will cause
tracking problems, which will require you to make
additional adjustments to get the sander tracking
correctly again.

Working around moving conveyor and parts
presents pinch/entanglement hazards that
can cause personal injury. Use extreme
care to keep hands clear of in-running pinch
points while adjusting tracking nut/screw
when machine is running. Roll up sleeves
and do not wear gloves or other apparel that
could become entangled in moving parts.
