Replacing the conveyor belt is a big job and requires mod-
erate 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
frustration during reassembly.

1.. DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER!
2. Remove the top cover by loosening the hex bolts and
removing the Phillips head screws (see Figure.44)
securing the top cover support.
3. Remove the right handle and side panel (two cap
screws and six tap screws).
4. Remove the gear cover (two Phillips head screws)
and loosen the two hex nuts securing the brace and
remove it.
5. Remove the dust scoop (four hex bolts and four flat
washers), compression springs and spring plates (see
Figure.45) from the front pressure roller and set the
roller aside.
6. Remove the rear pressure roller (four hex bolts and

sion springs, and spring plates shown in Figure.46.
