To renew or change the Sanding Belt, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off and unplug from mains power supply. Remove the
sander
cover by
unscrewing
the three securing screws .
2. Slacken the sander work rest securing knob, and pull the work rest away from belt.
3. Slacken the belt tensioning nut until the belt feels loose on the rollers.
4.
Slacken the top roller securing knob, allowing the top pulley to move slightly off its axis (as
shown in (fig (9a)).
5. Slide the belt off and replace with a new one, ensuring it lies centrally on the top and
bottom rollers
6. Retighten the top roller securing knob until it becomes firm...but NOT too tight.
7. Tighten the belt tension adjuster nut until it also becomes firm. DO NOT overtighten.
The belt should now be fairly taught, and positioned centrally on the rollers.
IMPORTANT ! : The belt needs just enough tension to ensure that it does not slip on the pulleys
whilst under load, however too much tension will shorten the working life of the belt and the
machine.
8. Replace the sanding belt cover, then adjust and tighten the work rest.
9. Rotate the belt by hand whilst screwing the Tracking Adjustment Screw in or out to
ensure the belt runs centrally about the rollers. Turn the screw anticlockwise to move
the belt outwards (towards the outer cover), or clockwise to move inwards (as shown
in fig(10)).
10. When reasonably satisfied, and
taking ALL precautions, plug the
machine in to the mains and
switch ON.
Make fine adjustments with the
Tracking Adjustment screw if
necessary.
