1. make sure the belt is properly pre-tracked
(refer to pre-Tracking Belt on page 27).
2. tie back loose clothing and long hair to pro-
tect yourself from getting caught in the mov-
ing sanding belt when you start the machine.
3. move the quick release tension lever toward
the back of the sander to tension the belt.
4. loosen the lock nut on the belt tracking
knob.
5. turn the sander ON, and using the tracking
control knob (figure 78), carefully adjust the
tracking in or out until the sanding belt is cen-
tered on the main roller (see figure 45, page
27).
