5. Jog the machine on and off to confirm the belt is
tracking properly. If the belt is leading to one side or the
other, very gently turn the tracking knob (E) Fig. 39,
clockwise to move the belt toward the adjusting screw
and counterclockwise to move the belt away from the
adjusting screw while jogging the machine on and off.
6. A final adjustment can be made with the motor
running. THIS ADJUSTMENT IS USUALLY VERY
SLIGHT. After the belt is tracking properly, disconnect
the machine from the power source, and replace the top
cover that was removed in STEP 2.

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE.
2. Loosen the table tilting ratchet lever (A) Fig. 41,
rotate the stop (B) to the left, and rotate the table (C) Fig.
42 until the trunnion (D) Fig. 41 contacts the stop (B).
Tighten the lock handle (A). NOTE: The lock handle (A)
is spring-loaded and can be repositioned by pulling out
the handle, moving it, and letting it spring back into
position.
NOTE: After a long period of time, adjustments may
be necessary to maintain the tension and tracking of
the sanding belt. If the belt will not hold its tension,
tighten the set screw (G) Fig. 40. If the belt will not
hold its tracking, tighten the set screw (F) Fig. 40.
Make only small adjustments to these screws. Over-
tightening will lock the tension lever and/or the
tracking knob.
