LUBRICATION

This tool has been lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for

the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. No further lubrication is

necessary.

FRAME PROTECTOR

The frame protector bar is made of hardened steel. It is located to the left and

the rear of the idler pulley and is fastened to the frame. This bar protects the

frame of the tool when tracking the abrasive belt. Adjust the belt so that it moves

evenly across (without rubbing) the protective bar. When this bar becomes worn

and uneven, replace it with a new one (available from your Porter-Cable Service

Center).

DRIVE PULLEY

The rubber-covered drive pulley at the rear of the tool is crowned or tapered

from the center to either side to make the abrasive belt run true and in line with

the idler pulley at the front of the tool. After considerable use, the crown will wear

away and the belt will begin to run off the side of the pulley and cut into the

guide block or frame. When the crown is worn to this extent, have the drive

pulley replaced by your Authorized Porter-Cable Service Station. This action can

be checked each time the abrasive belt is replaced and tracked. After the belt is

tracked to the front pulley, watch it for a few seconds to see that it runs true and

stays in place on the back pulley. Avoid getting oil and grease on the rubber

cover. It will cause it to fail.

replacement on this tool should ONLY be performed by an AUTHORIZED
