Mounting stop plate

This Stop Plate (63) fits across the top of the sanding belt

and is for preventing workpiece from moving to the rear

when sanding.

1. Align the two Tabs on the Stop Plate (63) with the two

Holes on the top of the Band Support Housing (52).

The Tabs will be underneath the Flange on the Band

Support Housing (52).

2. Insert two Machine Screws into the two Holes and

thread them into the Tabs on the Stop Plate (63).

3. Mount the Stop Plate (63) to the Band Support

Housing (52) using Bolt (32), Flat Washer (26) and

Lock Washer (27). (See Figure 11)

Square the stop plate

(Figure 12)

The stop plate (63) must be square to the sanding belt when using the belt sander in a horizontal

position. To keep the workpiece from being carried along

the belt:

1. Make sure the sanding belt is tight; also check that the

tension handle is fully tightened.

2. Place the combination square (not provided) on the belt

with the ruler against the stop plate (63).

3. Adjust by loosening the stop plate locking bolt (32),

square the backstop.

4. Tighten the stop plate locking bolt (32).

WARNING: To avoid trapping the workpiece or fingers between the sanding belt and the

stop plate, the stop plate edge should be adjusted to a maximum of 1/16 inch from the sanding belt.
