Strip Sander Belt Install?
I tried a search but came up empty. Does anyone have a postable diagram for the proper belt installation? Thanks, Mt( My PTWE is a first edition and does not include the Strip Sander.)

The arrows on the belt shows your direction of travel (should point up on the front platen when you instal the belt. First put the belt on he lower wheel. Push down on the upper wheel. The abrasive side of the belt should be up against the small wheels of the sander. Since I can't draw it the best way I can describe how the belt should look when it is properly installed would resemble movie film in a projector (assuming you're old enough to remember movie projectors)those smaller wheel provide tesion on the belt. When I get the belt most of the way on, I flip the power switch on and off to place the belt on. You should be able to figure out how to adjust the tracking for the belt from there.
