Replacing the conveyor belt is a big job and
requires moderate mechanical skill and a fair
amount of patience. For planning purposes,
expect to have your machine out of operation for
at least a few hours.
As you remove hardware to complete these
instructions, we recommend putting all the bolts,
screws, washers, etc. back into the holes from
which they came. This simple habit will take
slightly longer when disassembling the machine,
but it will save you a lot of time and reduce frus-
tration during reassembly.
To replace the conveyor belt:
1. Disconnect power to the sander!
2.
Remove the top cover (6 button head screws)
and pulley cover (4 hex bolts).
3. Remove the rear dust scoop (4 button head
screws).

The drum sander should now look similar to
Figure 44.

Remove the sanding drums (4 hex nuts and
4 flat washers on each one).
6.
Place the gauge blocks face down, as shown
in Figure 45, raise the table to relieve the
spring pressure on the pressure rollers,
remove the pressure roller nuts, and lower
the table to remove the pressure rollers.

rollers to relieve spring tension with the table.
