Belt Tracking

The belt-tracking adjustment is set at the factory so 

that the abrasive belt will run true on the pulleys. If, 

however, the belt should track to one side or the other, 

an adjustment can be made by turning the tracking 

knob, which is located on the back side of the ma-

chine. Turning the knob clockwise will cause the belt 

to track to the right (towards the disc sander mecha-

nism). Turning the knob counter-clockwise will cause 

the belt to track to the left side of the machine.

Dust Chutes/Ports – Operation

Sanding operations are inherently dusty. To help 

minimize the amount of dust that escapes into the 

surrounding air, this Mastercraft sander is equipped 

with two 1 1/2” (38 mm) dust chutes (aka: ports) that 

can be easily connected to a dust-collection system. 

There is one dust chute for the belt-sanding system 

and another for the disc-sanding system. It is strongly 

recommended that users employ a dust-collection 

system when using this belt & disc sander. 

Use of a mask or respirator is still recommended even 

when a dust-collection system is in use.
