Adjustments
2. Start both the sanding belt and the feed belt,
making sure your finger is poised over the
STOP button, just in case there is a problem.
The wide-belt sander should run smoothly,
with little or no vibration or abnormal rubbing
noises. It is normal, however, for the air oper-
ated tracking to make a rhythmic back and
forth noise.
Strange or unnatural noises should be investigat-
ed and corrected before operating the machine
further. To avoid injury or damage to the
machine,
DO NOT attempt to make adjustments
to the machine without turning it off and unplug-
ging it from its power source.
If noises occur that cannot be found by visual
inspection, feel free to contact our Service
Department for help.
For your convenience, the adjustments listed
below have been performed at the factory and no
further setup is required to operate your machine.

ensure the best possible results from your new
machine.
All of these adjustments are covered in step-by-
step detail in
