ADJUSTING THE V-BELT TENSION

Should the rotation of the sanding belt or disc slow

down or stall, the cause may be that the V-belt is

slipping on the two pulleys. This may be because the

motor or frame have become loose from the base, or

that the V-belt has stretched out due to the machine

being used. In either case, re-adjustment of the V-belt

is needed.

1. To gain access to the V-Belt (Part #8), the Belt

Cover (#39) must be removed, by unscrewing the two

hex head Screws (#112). FIG. 15.

2. On the cabinet top, under the sanding belt frame,

there are two hex head Bolts and Nuts (#18, 19) that

extend up from the cabinet surface. These connect

to the motor frame and will adjust the tension of the

V-Belt by pivoting the motor. FIG. 16, A .

Loosen the locking nuts and then rotate the bolts

so that the motor frame is moved to put more, or less,

tension on the V-Belt.

3. Tension, or the deection of the V-belt should be

about 1/4” to 3/8” when moderate pressure is applied

onto the belt with your nger. FIG. 17.

4. Once the proper belt tension is achieved, tighten

the hex head bolts to secure the motor frame in its

new position.

5. Re-install the safety belt cover over the V-belt, that

was removed in step 1 above.

REPLACING THE V-BELT

Should the rotation of the sanding belt or disc STOP,

the cause may be that the V-belt is broken or has

stretched out so much, that any tension adjustments

do not work. In these cases, the V-belt must be

replaced.
