ADJUSTMENTS

TO ADJUST THE SANDING

TABLE HEIGHT

Before making any adjustments to the

tool, disconnect the machine from the

power source.

Never position the sanding table below

the sanding belt! Keep an overlap

of at least 1/16” between table and sanding belt to

avoid material and/or fingers getting caught! Failure to

comply may cause serious injury!

1. There are two height elevation lock knobs (A) one

on either side of the table support, shown in Fig. 12.

Loosen both lock knobs just enough to allow the

sanding table to move up and down.

MOTOR MOUNT TRACKING

ADJUSTMENT

Tools Needed: Two 1/2" Wrenches

Note: The Motor Mount Tracking Adjustment is a

course adjustment. Use the Belt Tracking Adjustment

first for fine adjustment. If it cannot be adjusted, then

use the procedure described below.

Before making any adjustments to the tool, disconnect

the machine from the power source.

1. Loosen the four motor mount

nuts (A) just enough so the tracking

screws can be turned to make an adjustment. See

Fig. 11.

2. Loosen the two locking hex nuts that secure the

tracking screws.

3. Turn one screw a 1/4-turn and rotate the sanding

belt by hand to observe which direction the

adjustment is causing the belt to move. If it is

traveling in the direction needed to correct the

problem, go to step 5.

4. If the belt tracks in the wrong direction, back off

a 1/4-turn and tighten the other screw a quarter

turn. This should start the belt moving in the proper

direction.

5. Tighten both

locking nuts and

motor mount

nuts.

6. Return to the

Belt Tracking

Adjustment

section (previous

page) to fine tune

the tracking.

FIG. 11

TO ADJUST THE BELT

TRACKING

Tools Needed: Belt Tracking Tool (provided)

Before making any adjustments to the

tool, disconnect the machine from the

power source.

1. Rotate the belt by hand from left to right and

observe whether the belt is tracking above or below

the edges of the rollers.

2. Using the belt tracking tool (provided) loosen the

micro adjust lock nut.

3. Based on whether the belt is tracking up or

down, turn the micro adjusting screw in 1/4 – turn

increments to the left or right until the belt tracks

evenly on the rollers when rotated by hand. See

Fig. 10.

4. Re-tighten the micro adjusting nut.

NOTE: The Belt Tracking Adjustment provides a minor

adjustment that

should correct

most tracking

problems. If

the tracking

problem persists,

use the Motor

Mount Tracking

Adjustment (next

section).

The table is very heavy. Loosen lock

knobs slowly and just enough to create

play in table Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

2. Raise or lower

work table to

desired level.

3. Tighten the

lock knobs.
