3.2 Changing the grinding belt
When the grinding belt is worn out it must be replaced which is done as follows:
Open the lid plate (A) (see
fig.: 3.2
) on the cover and pull down the handle (B).
This way the grinding belt (C) will be loosened, and now it can be dismounted and
replaced by a new belt in reverse order. Control that the arrows at the back of the
grinding belt correspond to the direction of rotation. When the new grinding belt is
mounted it is necessary to adjust so that the grinding belt runs straight. This is
done by using the handle (D), which is loosened so the telescope arm (E) and the
top roll (F) can be turned along until the grinding belt runs straight. Now tighten the
handle (D).
This adjustment of the grinding belt may only be performed by pulling the
grinding belt with your hands and with the POWER OFF.

There are many kinds of grinding belts and therefore it is very important to choose
the correct type of grinding belt. You need to consider the material, grit size,
grinding belt material and glue.
In this connection we can inform that there are different kinds of contact wheels
with various softness and shapes for different purposes.
