5. See “Adjustments” section for further 

instruction on adjusting the disc table. 

Belt Table 

1.  Loosen the sanding platen lock screw (E, 

Figure 13) with a 6mm hex wrench, and tilt the 
belt arm to a vertical position. Re-tighten the 
lock screw. 

2.  Guide the belt table trunnion onto the stud, as 

shown in Figure 14. The raised track on the 
trunnion must fit into the groove on the belt 
arm. 

3.  Place the remaining M10 flat washer onto the 

stud (Figure 15). 

4.  Thread the nut of the table lock handle (Figure 

15) onto the stud. To do this quickly, pull out 
on the handle, while tightening the nut with a 
4mm hex wrench. When the nut is fully 
tightened onto the stud, release the handle, 
making sure it seats itself back onto the nut. 

Note:

 The table lock handle can be 

repositioned at any time for convenience by 
pulling out on the handle, rotating it to new 
position, then releasing it. Make sure it re-
seats itself on the nut. 

5.  Screw the belt tensioning handle (Figure 16) 

into the threaded hole in the belt tracking 
assembly, and tighten the hex nut against the 
shaft with a 13mm wrench. 

6. See “Adjustments” section for further 

instruction on adjusting the belt table. 

Installing Abrasives 

Abrasive Disc

  

Note: You may wish to check the angle setting of 
the table before installing the abrasive disc. See 
“Disc Table Adjustment”. 

To install the abrasive disc: 

1.  Disconnect machine from power source. 

2.  Make sure the aluminum disc is clean and dry. 

3.  Peel the backing from the abrasive and 

carefully insert it between disc and table; align 
and press into place.  

4.  Rotate disc a half turn and press other half of 

abrasive into place. Make sure to remove any 
entrapped air by pressing all parts of the 
abrasive against the disc.
