When a new sanding belt is
installed, the sanding belt tracking
may need to be adjusted several
times as the belt becomes more
pliable with use. The sanding belt
will remain centered on the rollers
during use when the belt tracking
is adjusted correctly.
1. Hold the belt sander upside Knob
down, and then turn it on.
NOTICE: This position is for the purpose of adjustment only. Do not allow the
sanding belt to come into contact with a workpiece or any other object
during adjustment.
2. If the sanding belt runs inward toward the belt-tracking knob, rotate the belt-
tracking knob clockwise.
3. If the sanding belt runs toward the outside, turn the belt-tracking knob
counterclockwise.
