adjusted several times as the belt becomes more pliable with use. The sanding
belt will remain centered on the rollers during use when the belt tracking is
adjusted correctly.
1. Adjust the front handle to the 0° position.
2. Hold the belt sander upside down, and then turn it on.
3. If the sanding belt runs inward toward the belt-tracking knob, rotate the
belt-tracking knob counterclockwise.
4. If the sanding belt runs toward the outside, turn the belt-tracking
knob clockwise.
