ABRASIVE BELT REPLACEMENT
Disconnect air supply from the tool to prevent accidental starting and potential
injury while installing or removing Abrasive Belts.
The Abrasive Belts are quickly and easily changed. No tools are required.
The following steps describe how to do this:
• The end of the Abrasive Belt Arm is spring loaded
to keep the proper tension on the Abrasive Belts.
While holding the tool firmly, push inward on the
end of the Abrasive Belt Arm while depressing the
Thumb-Lever Latch (FIG 1).
NOTE: The Guide Pin will move inward until it lo-
cates under the Latch portion of the Thumb-Lever
Latch holding it in the retracted position while the
Abrasive Belt is changed (FIG 2).
• Pull the worn Abrasive Belt free of the Drive Drum
and discard.
• Slide the replacement Abrasive Belt over the Drive
Drum and Idle Roller at the end of the Abrasive
Belt Arm (FIG 2).
NOTE: Be sure the Abrasive Belt is slid fully over
the Guide Bar located on the upper surface of the
Abrasive Belt Arm.
• Depress the Thumb-Lever Latch to release the
Guide Pin restoring full spring pressure (FIG 3).
