Adjusting Belt
Tracking
The belt tracking needs to be adjusted any time
you change or replace the sanding belt, or if the
belt moves toward or away from the table during
operations.
To check and adjust sanding belt tracking:
1. Install edge-sanding attachment (refer to
Page 19), then remove all tools from sander.
2. Connect machine to power source and turn
ON, then immediately turn machine OFF.
Sanding belt should be centered on drums
and not move toward top or bottom of edge-
sanding attachment.
— If sanding belt moves toward top of edge-
sanding attachment, rotate tracking con-
trol knob (see Figure 24) counterclock-
wise ⁄ -turn.

— If sanding belt moves toward bottom of
edge-sanding attachment, rotate tracking
knob clockwise
3. Turn machine ON, then immediately turn
machine OFF. Sanding belt should be cen-
tered on drums and not move toward top or
bottom of edge-sanding attachment. Belt is
tracking properly and no further adjustments
need to be made.
— If sanding belt does move toward top or
bottom, repeat Steps 3–5 until proper belt
tracking is achieved.
Note: Listen for any unusual noises, vibra-
tions, or rubbing while adjusting tracking. If
anything sounds unusual, stop sander imme-
diately. Disconnect machine from power
source and find source of problem before
operating further. If you cannot locate source
of unusual noise or vibration, contact our ser-
vice department for help.
