ABRASIVE BELT REPLACEMENT

The Abrasive Belts are quickly and easily changed. No tools are required.  
The following steps describe how to do this:

1. 

Disconnect air supply from 
the tool to prevent acciden-
tal starting and potential 
injury while removing or 
installing an Abrasive Belt.

2. 

The end of the Abrasive 
Belt Arm is spring loaded to 
keep the proper tension on 
the Abrasive Belts. While 
holding the tool firmly, push 

inward

 on the end of the 

Abrasive Belt Arm while de-
pressing the Thumb-Lever 
Latch 

(FIG 2)

NOTE:

 The Guide Pin will 

move inward until it locates 
under the Latch portion 
of the Thumb-Lever Latch 
holding it in the retracted 
position while the Abrasive 
Belt is changed 

(FIG 3)

.

3. 

Pull the worn Abrasive Belt 
free of the Drive Drum and 
discard.

4. 

Slide the replacement 
Abrasive Belt over the  
Drive Drum and Idle Roller 
at the end of the Abrasive 
Belt Arm 

(FIG 4)

.  

NOTE:

 Be sure the Abrasive 

Belt is slid fully over the 
Guide Bar located on the 
upper surface of the  
Abrasive Belt Arm.
