Belt Tracking
The belt-tracking adjustment is set at the factory so
that the abrasive belt will run true on the pulleys. If,
however, the belt should track to one side or the other,
an adjustment can be made by turning the tracking
knob, which is located on the back side of the ma-
chine. Turning the knob clockwise will cause the belt
to track to the right (towards the disc sander mecha-
nism). Turning the knob counter-clockwise will cause
the belt to track to the left side of the machine.
Dust Chutes/Ports – Operation
Sanding operations are inherently dusty. To help
minimize the amount of dust that escapes into the
surrounding air, this Mastercraft sander is equipped
with two 1 1/2” (38 mm) dust chutes (aka: ports) that
can be easily connected to a dust-collection system.
There is one dust chute for the belt-sanding system
and another for the disc-sanding system. It is strongly
recommended that users employ a dust-collection
system when using this belt & disc sander.
Use of a mask or respirator is still recommended even
when a dust-collection system is in use.
