OPERATION
•
Plug power cord into a 120 VAC outlet and move power switch up to the
"ON" position.
•
When using the Belt Sanding feature, allow your workpiece to gently rest against the
Stop Fence/Tool Rest and move it from side to side as the belt is moving (Fig. 4).
WARNING: Do not keep your workpiece in one place while sanding, and
do not push your workpiece into the belt since this will overheat the belt, causing
premature wear, failure and possibly personal injury.
•
When using the Disc Sanding feature, allow your workpiece to gently rest on the Adjust-
able Work Surface/Miter Plate and gently press it against the disc as it rotates; do not
force it into the disc (Fig. 5).
The Adjustable Work Surface angle is adjustable vertically from 0° to 45°, and the Miter
Plate Fence is angle-adjustable horizontally through a full 120° to allow precise angle
grinding of tool surfaces.
BELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
For ideal operation and true tracking, both the Belt Drive and the Idler Drums should be parallel
to one another. With tool use, occasional adjustment may be required.
Follow steps 1 through 7 below for belt tracking adjustment.
CAUTION: Unplug tool before beginning belt tracking adjustment or severe personal injury
could result if motor should start during this procedure.
1. Loosen belt tension by pulling out the grey Belt Tension Lever (nested into the front of
the Belt Sander Assembly) until it stops. It will remain in this position (Fig. 6).
2. Center the belt on both the Belt Drive and Idler Drums by sliding it in or
out as needed.
3. Snap the Belt Tension Lever back into its place on the Belt Sander Assembly.
4. Roll the belt by hand and observe whether the belt is skewing to one side or another or
making contact with the frame of the Belt Sander.
5. If skewing right – decrease tension on tracking by turning the Yellow Tracking Knob up
or "toward" the Belt Sander working surface. This will force the belt to track towards
the left or "rear" of the tool (Fig. 7).
6. If skewing left – increase tension on tracking by turning Yellow Tracking Knob down or
"away" from the Belt Sander working surface. This will force the belt to track towards
the right or "front" of the tool (Fig. 7).
7. It may be necessary to repeat steps 1 through 4 several times until even belt tracking is
achieved.
