Pre-Tracking Belt

You must perform the following procedure before
the test run to ensure that the belt does not come
off or get jammed against the sanding belt frame.
To pre-track the belt:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Loosen the lock nut on the tracking control
knob (see Figure 4 on Page 4), then move
the quick release tension lever to the ten-
sioned position.
Moving sanding belts are dangerously abra-
sive. Use extreme caution when working
near sanding surfaces.
3.
Standing in front of the sander, carefully
push the sanding belt multiple times along
the platen, so that it moves in the direction
of operation (clockwise on the rollers), then
watch how the belt tracks on the rollers.
4.
Adjust the tracking with the tracking control
knob and continue to rotate the belt by hand
until the sanding belt is centered on the main
roller, as shown in Figure 47.
