Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing the Burr King model 960-401/960-251 wet grinder. We are confident that it
will add value to your projects. Please note that the belt that is now on the machine (it is orange-brown
in color) is NOT a wet capable belt.
Do not use water on the belt we have provided to you with the machine, as it may fail to provide the
service you expect, and or physically fail.
Abrasive belts will vary in length, straightness, flexibility, etc. Because of this you need to be
particularly aware when you first install a new belt. If you do the following you will attain greater
satisfaction with each new belt:
Assure the grinder is securely bolted to a stable work surface.
Disconnect the AC electric power from your grinder.
• Push up on the rear wheel-tensioning handle and while holding the handle up push the red button
in the handle center to release the pawl from the ratchet.
• Lower to its lower most position the tensioning handle to remove tension from the old belt.
• Open the safety guard door
• Remove the old belt
• Install the new belt taking care that it is not bent, wrinkled, or otherwise deformed. The belt
should now be around the upper and lower wheel and be slack.
• Without pushing the red button push up on the tensioning handle. You will hear the pawl click as
the handle is moved upward. Push the handle back until you have heard 6 to 7 clicks.
• Manually rotate the belt on the wheels several rotations and see that the belt stays centered on the
wheels within about ¼ inch or less. If it does not, loose the locking handle on the tracking knob
located on the upper left of the machine. CW rotation of the tracking knob will move the belt to
the left, CCW to the right. Turn the knob ¼ turn in the required direction while manually rotating
the belt to observe the tracking effect. Adjust tracking as necessary.
• Close the machine guard door
• Connect the electric source.
• Momentarily engage the motor. The belt should run within ¼ inch of the wheel centers. If the belt
tracks within ¼ inch turn on the machine and slowly turn the tracking knob in the required
direction to fully align the belt.
• Secure the tracking knob locking handle
