Belt Tracking
SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS
Figure 19. Location of tracking knob.
1. Carefully move the belt left to right by hand
and adjust the tracking knob as necessary to
achieve proper tracking.
See Figure 19.
2. Before beginning this step, read the entitled
Test Run on page 18. Connect to power and
turn the machine on and off quickly. If the
belt appears to track OK turn the machine on
and fine tune the tracking. Tighten the track-
ing lock knob.
Auxiliary Table
Figure 20. Table adjustment thumbscrews.
Loosen the thumb screws, position the auxiliary
table, re-tighten the thumb screws.
See Figure
20. Note that the ends of the roller are tapered.
This helps keep the belt tracked. When using the
end roller for curved sanding, we recommend you
use the center portion of the roller to assure prop-
er belt tracking. This also prevents the edge of
the workpiece from becoming tapered.
Moving sanding belts are dangerously
abrasive. Use extreme caution when work-
ing near sanding surfaces. Use extreme
caution while making adjustments that
require momentary or extended operation
of the edge sander. Failure to exercise care
while sanding could result in severe injury.
