TO PROPERLY TRACK THE SANDING BELT
1. Plug in the sander.
2. Turn power switch ON, then immediately OFF, noting whether the belt (1) tends to slide off its track, and to which side (front or back) of the sander.
3. If the sanding belt does not slide to either side, it is tracking properly.
4. Viewed from the switch end, if the sanding belt runs toward the disc side, slightly turn the tracking knob (2) counterclockwise (up).
5. Viewed from the switch end, if the sanding belt runs away from the disc side, slightly turn the tracking knob (2) clockwise (down).
6. Turn power switch ON, then immediately OFF again, again taking note of any belt movement.
7. Readjust tracking knob (2) another 1/4 turn, necessary.
