Installing the sanding belt
To avoid injury from accidental start,
WARNING
turn switch 'OFF', remove key and
remove plug from power source outlet, before
removing or installing belt.
Ensure table is removed from belt bed. Place belt bed
at 45 degrees angle to facilitate belt changing (see
"Auxiliary mounting for vertical sanding" for belt bed
adjustment).
On the smooth side of the sanding belt, you will find a
'directional arrow'. The sanding belt must run in the
direction of this arrow, so that the splice does not
come apart.

tension, as shown in figure 7.
Note: Use 4 x 36 inch Abrasive belts only.
