Important Precautions

• Wear eye protection and protective clothing

• Keep ngers away from belt and other moving parts when
using the sander

Setup

Your new belt sander comes assembled and ready for use. When choosing a
location to use the sander, remember that there will be a small amount of water
splash during use. Also, it advisable to choose a location with good lighting and
good ventilation.

If you are planing a big project that will require a lot of sanding, you may want to
consider buying a footswitch. e footswitch will provide a convenient way to turn
the sander on and o. Your dealer should be able to provide a suitable footswitch.

Belt Installation

To install a new sanding belt, raise the top cover by rotating it about the pivot.
Lower the upper wheel by turning the large Belt Tension Adjustment thumbscrew
located on the upright support.

Remove the old belt, if one is
installed, by sliding it o the
upper and lower wheels.

Install a new belt by sliding it
onto the upper and lower wheels.
When the belt is centered on
both wheels, raise the top wheel
by turning the large Belt Tension
Adjustment thumbscrew. Raising
the wheel will tighten the belt.
e belt should be tightened to
the point that it runs smoothly
and does not ap. Do not
overtighten the belt, as that will
cause premature failure.
