ASSEMBLY
-11-
Air Hose Installation
Push your air supply hose on to the air pressure
regulator inlet fitting, and clamp it in place
with a hose clamp as shown in
Figure 7. If you
prefer, you can replace the included air nozzle
with a
3 ⁄
8
" male quick connect air coupling.
When the air hose is installed, pull up and
rotate the regulator air pressure knob until the
gauge reads 57 PSI then push down. DO NOT
attempt to regulate the air pressure with the
ON/OFF air supply lever. This control only shuts
off air pressure to the machine.
Sanding Belt Installation
Before installing belt, clean the protective
grease from the upper metal sanding belt
roller as per the “Cleaning Machine”
instructions.
To install the sanding belt, do these steps:
1. TURN-OFF and LOCK your master power
switch, but keep the air pressure going
into the machine.
2. Turn and remove the lever and support
spacer. See
Figure 8.
3. Install the sanding belt with the arrows
pointing in the direction of drum rotation
and center the belt on the rollers. See
Figure 9.
4. Reinstall the support spacer and lever.
5. Turn the belt tension knob to the 12:00
position and the belt will automatically
tighten to the correct tension. At 9:00 the
belt will have no tension.
