REMOVING, INSTALLING,and ADJUSTING BELTS
WARNING: To prevent injury, always switch off and disconnect the tool from power source before
removing or installing the sanding belt.
1.To pull the belt tension lever from the right side of the sander and move it towards the front of the
machine.This pulls the idler(front) pulley back. The old belt can be slid easily off the pulleys.(Fig.2)

3.To slide a 76"x457" abrasive belt over the front and back pulleys and line it up so that it is centered

5.To be sure the trigger switch is off.Plug the tool in. The following may be easier if the tool is held
side of the tool or running off the pulleys on the right. The belt should not be more than 6mm (1/4")
as well as damage to the housing will result.(Fig.4)
DUST BAG (Fig.5)
turn the bag inside out and thoroughly clean it with a brush.
SANDING
1.To secure the work piece well. It will tend to move toward the operator while the sander is running in
contact with the surface.
2.To hold the tool firmly with both hands on the hand grips. When the belt comes in contact with the work
surface, the tool will tend to pull itself forward quite strongly. To prevent damage to the material and the
belt, never start the sander while the belt is in contact with the work surface.
3.To turn the tool on and let it come up to speed.
5.To begin moving the sander forward. Drop the back very slightly so the belt contacts the work surface first
with the surface. Use only very light downward pressure, if any.
much weight can result in gouging and burning the surface, overloading the motor, and having the work
piece kick back.
7.When sanding a rough wooden surface, placing the sander at a slight angle to the grain, using a coarse grit,
while moving the sander itself back and forth with the grain, may help speed stock removal. The same
technique can be carried on through the medium grits. On the finishing grits, the sander should be oriented
with the grain.
10.The right side of the sander will allow you to sand flush against a perpendicular surface.
