Adjusting the auto-track system
1. Plug in the cord with the tool OFF.
2. Hold handle of sander with one hand and tilt
back until belt is off work and the sander is
resting on the bottom heel of the housing.
3. Turn tool ON by pressing the trigger.
4. For best performance the belt should be in line
with the outer edge of the rear pulley. If the belt
deviates more than 1/8 inch from the outside of
the sander, adjust the belt position by turning
the auto-track adjustment screw, (Fig. 7) until
the belt returns to the proper position.
Selecting the sanding belt
It is very important that you select the proper belt for each particular application. To do this
you should understand the method of marking or coding on the back of most belts. "CLOSED
COAT" means the surface is densely covered with as much grit as the adhesive will hold. "OPEN
COAT" means the grit has been applied evenly, but openly to the surface. An "open coat" will
not clog or fill as readily as "closed coat". In general, aluminum oxide abrasive belts are best
for woodworking because they are tougher and last longer. Sanding belts should be stored in a
cool, dry place. Do not store near heat or near a window where the sun can reach them.
