BELT WORK SUPPORT TABLE ADJUSTMENT;
• Loosen the M10 Socket Head Cap Screw mounting the Belt Work Support Table
with an 8mm Hex Key, choose the preferred working position for the Table,
then tighten screw securely locking it in position.

Rest with an 8mm Hex Key, choose the preferred working position for the

BELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT;
The Belt Tracking is set at the factory when the unit is assembled and should not require
adjustment. If after extended use, the belt begins to track to the left or the right of the
Upper Roller, it may be adjusted to center it. To do so:
• Loosen and back off the M10 Locknut on the Tracking Adjuster at the upper left
side of the Sanding Belt Housing (FIG. 15).
• Rotate the Threaded Knob in (Clockwise as viewed from the left side) 1/4 turn at
a time to skew the Belt to the LEFT.
• Rotate the Threaded Knob out (Counter-Clockwise as viewed from the left side)
1/4 turn at a time to skew the Belt to the RIGHT.
INJURY HAZARD!
Moving abrasive surface can quickly abrade skin. Keep hands and
fingers away from moving Abrasive Belt.
• Switch on the motor briefly to observe Belt Position.
• Make 1/4 turn adjustments and recheck as required to center the Belt on
the Upper Roller.
• Tighten Locknut (Use caution not to rotate the Threaded Knob) and
recheck tracking.

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 the workpiece to gently rest against
the Belt Work Support Table or Alternate Tool Rest and move it from side to side
as the belt is moving (FIG 16).
DO NOT keep the workpiece in one place while sanding and
DO NOT push the workpiece into the belt with excessive force
as this will overheat the belt causing premature wear, failure
and possibly personal injury.
• When using the Disc Sanding feature, allow the workpiece to gently rest on the
Adjustable Disc Table/Miter Plate and gently apply it to the disc as it is rotating,
DO NOT force it into the disc (FIG 17).
INJURY HAZARD!
USE ONLY THE RIGHT or "ROTATING DOWN" SIDE of the Sanding
Disc Face. Using the Left or "rotating Up" side may violently pull
the workpiece from the hands.
