INSTALLING SANDING ATTACHMENT
NOTE:
The sanding belt cuts very rapidly. Practice
with some scraps of wood first before you attempt to
sand your actual workpiece.
1.
To install the sanding belt and sanding
platen,
remove the screws from the front table and front
cover. Remove the blade guard and the blade.
2. Use a 1/8-inch hex "L'' wrench and remove the
upper and lower right blade guides. The mount-
ing screw
used
for the upper blade guide will
be
used to hold the sanding platen in place.
3. Loosen the setscrews that hold the upper
and
lower backup bearings in place and push the
bearings all the way back. Tighten setscrews
so
bearings
will
remain.

sanding platen and tighten mounting
screw
securely.

INSTALLING THE SANDING BELT
1. Install the sanding belt and adjust tension
to
the
sanding position. (The letter "S" on the
scale.)
NOTE: Check the tension often when a new belt
is installed. A
new
belt will stretch during
use.
2. Rotate the upper wheel by hand (clockwise) to
check the sanding belt tracking. Adjust tracking
if necessary. (Reference the blade tracking sec-
tion for tracking
procedure.)
3.
After tracking the sanding belt if the belt and the
platen do not align loosen the upper blade guide
support and slide the support in or out to align.
Then tighten set screws to hold support
and
platen in place. It may also be necessary to adjust
the lower blade guide support to align the blade
guide with the sanding
platen.
