replacing the feed belt is a simple process, but
will require tensioning and tracking when com-
pleted.
to replace the feed belt:
1. disconnect power to the sander!
2. Use a permanent marker, paper correction
fluid, or fingernail polish to mark the front of
the feed belt tensioning bolt (figure 41) on
both sides. this step will aid you in returning
the bolts to their original position, reducing
the amount of tracking necessary.
3. loosen the lock nuts shown in figure 41 and
turn both of the feed belt adjustment bolts
counterclockwise one full turn at a time to
release the tension from the feed belt.
4.
remove the outside table cap screws shown
in figure 42 and loosen the corresponding
cap screws on the inside edge.
