Troubleshooting
Belt not tracking correctly (running off the rollers)
Adjust the belt tracking knob on your sander until the belt runs centered. Ensure the belt is installed with the correct side facing the material.
Belt tearing or breaking prematurely
Check for obstructions or sharp edges on the workpiece or sander. Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure. Verify the belt is the correct size for your sander.
Poor sanding performance or excessive dust buildup
The open-coat design helps, but if clogging occurs, it may indicate the material being sanded is too soft or gummy. Ensure the dust extraction system on your sander is functioning properly.
Belt slipping on rollers
Ensure the rollers are clean and free of debris. Check that the belt tension is adequate according to your sander's manual.
