Figure 7-1: Belt Grinder identification
7.0 Adjustments
Disconnect machine from
power source before making adjustments.
Refer to Figure 7-1.
7.1 Work rest adjustment
Loosen work rest handle and adjust work rest to
desired angle. Minimize gap between edge of work
rest and abrasive belt; 1/16-inch or less.
Tighten work rest handle before operating.
Note: Handles are adjustable; pull handle straight
out and rotate it on the pin, then release. Make sure
handle reseats itself on the pin.
7.2 Platen adjustment
Loosen platen handle and adjust platen so it is
parallel to back of abrasive belt and almost touching.
7.3 Abrasive belt tension
To de-tension abrasive belt, turn tension knob
counterclockwise and pull knob to the right.
To tension, push knob to the left. The pawl will “click”
as it engages each ratchet tooth. Do not
overtension; tighten belt until it is just taut. A
moderate tension will provide faster cutting and
longer belt life, as well as better tracking.
NOTE: When belt grinder is not being used, de-
tension the abrasive belt. This will prolong the life of
the belt, and reduce load on wheels, bearings and
other components.
7.4 Abrasive belt tracking
The abrasive belt should remain centered upon the
wheels during operation. If it tends to slide off-
center, adjust as follows:
1. Disconnect machine from power source and
pull open side cover.
