running straight on the drums. To adjust sanding belt tracking:
1) Make sure the sanding belt (A) Fig.8 is properly tensioned, the tension lever
(B) must be positioned to the right as shown.
2) Turn the edge sander On for a few seconds and observe the tracking of the
sanding belt.
3) If an adjustment is needed, move the tension lever (A) Fig.9 completely to the
left “loose” position as shown.
4) Lift the belt tracking locking lever (B) Fig.9 and turn the adjustment wheel (C)
to adjust belt tracking. Turn adjustment wheel clockwise to track belt
downwards on the roller, turn counterclockwise to track belt upwards on the
roller.
5) Lower belt tracking locking lever (B) Fig.9, move the tension lever (A)
completely to the right “tensioned” position. Turn the edge sander On for a few
