Sanding Belt Table Adjustment WARNING Always disconnect the sander from the power source before servicing or making any adjustments. Failure to comply may cause serious injury! 1. Place a square on the sanding belt table with one edge along the graphite pad, or sanding belt (Figure 4). 2.

Horizontal Sanding Workstop 1. Loosen the socket head cap screw (A, Fig. 7) so that the sanding belt can be rotated to the horizontal position. 2. Rotate the sander until the stop (B, Fig. 7) contacts the sander base. Tighten the socket head cap screw. 3. When the sanding belt is used in the horizontal position, the table may be used as a workstop, as shown in Figure 7. Sanding Belt Replacement 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source. 2. Remove the handle (A, Fig. 8). 3.
Belt Tracking Adjustment 1. Connect the machine to the power source. One time quickly turn the machine “ON” and “OFF”. This will allow you to view the belts tendency to run down the middle, to the right, or to the left. The belt should run centered on the sanding drums. Do not let the belt run off the drum to the right, or left. The belt will tear when it contacts parts of the machine. 2. Disconnect the machine from the power source. Move the tension handle (A, Fig. 10) to the “Loosen” position.
4. If the miter slot is not parallel loosen the two socket head cap screws (A, Fig. 13) and adjust for parallel. Tighten the two screws when the adjustment is complete. 5. Always maintain a gap of approximately 1/16” between the table edge and disc. Once the table is square and parallel to the disc adjust the 90° stop. Loosen hex nut (B, Fig. 13) and tighten the set screw (C, Fig. 13) until it contacts the trunnion. Tighten hex nut. 6.
Dust Collection 1. Hook the sander to a dust collector using a 4” diameter hose and clamp (A, Fig. 16). JET offers a wide variety of hoses, adapters and dust collectors. 2. Loosen the wing nut (B, Fig. 16) and pull the gate (C, Fig. 16) open to allow air suction to the sanding belt. Push the gate closed to shut off air suction. Tighten the wing nut. 3.
