Replacing the conveyor belt is a big job and
requires moderate mechanical skill and a fair
amount of patience. For planning purposes,
expect to have your machine out of operation for
at least a few hours.
As you remove hardware to complete these
instructions, we recommend putting all the bolts,
screws, washers, etc. back into the holes from
which they came. This simple habit will take
slightly longer when disassembling the machine,
but it will save you a lot of time and reduce frus-
tration during reassembly.
To replace the conveyor belt:
1. DISCONNECT POWER TO THE SANDER!
2. Remove the top cover by loosening the hex
bolts and removing the Phillips head screws
(
Figure 39) securing the top cover support.

3. Remove the right handle and side panel (2
cap screws and 6 tap screws).
4. Remove the gear cover (2 Phillips head
screws) and loosen the 2 hex nuts securing
the brace and remove it.
5. Remove the dust scoop (4 hex bolts and
4 flat washers), compression springs and
spring plates (
Figure 40) from the front pres-
sure roller and set the roller aside.
