OPERATING PROCEDURES

SWITCH
CAUTION: Before plugging the tool in, squeeze the trigger once and release it
to be sure the trigger is "Off" and not locked "On".
CAUTION: Be sure the belt is not in contact with the workpiece when starting
the tool.
 Lift the tool off the workpiece, with one hand holding the handle at the front
and the other grasping the handle at the rear.
 Squeeze the trigger in the rear handle with your index finger to start the tool.
Release it to stop.
 To lock the trigger in the "On" position, press the small round button on the
left side of the rear handle with your thumb at the same time as the trigger is
squeezed fully with your index finger.
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. Pull the belt tension lever from the right side of the sander and move it to-
wards the front of the machine. This pulls the idler (front) pulley back. The old
belt can be slid easily off the pulleys.
2. Check that the new 3"x 21" belt's direction arrow (usually printed on the in-
side fabric backing of the belt) matches the direction of belt travel on the tool.
The belt will move from the front to the back on the bottom, exposed surface
of the tool. A belt installed backwards will not work as efficiently and have a
shortened life.
3. Slide a 3"x 21" abrasive belt over the front and back pulleys and line it up
so that it is as close to centered, with as little overhang as possible on both
sides at both the front idler pulley and at the back drive pulley.
4. Push the tension lever back into the closed position. Take care not to pinch
your fingers. The belt is clamped in place.
5. Be sure the switch is off. Plug the tool in. The following may be easier if the
tool is held upside down, resting on a bench. Do not let the abrasive belt
contact anything.
6. Squeeze the trigger and run the tool slowly. If the belt starts to move to the
left or right off the pulleys, the tracking should be adjusted. This can be done
by turning the tracking knob at the front left side of the tool. Turning the
knob one way causes the belt to track toward the left. If you turn the knob
the other way, the belt will track toward the right. Adjust until belt runs in the
center without touching the housing on the left side of the tool or running off
the pulleys on the right. The belt should not be more than 6 mm (1/4") away
from the edge of the bottom plate. If the belt touches the housing, fraying and
shortened belt life as well as damage to the housing will result.
7. After running a new belt on a work piece for a short time, the tracking may
need more adjustment.
