Just got the new drive belt for my Parkside belt sander.
I haven't used the sander since 2013 (I know because when ordering a new
drive belt I found the previous order for a new drive belt - but not the
drive belt itself).

The sander now runs again, but the sand paper just runs off the sander as
soon as I turn it on.

Google suggests that this may be due to adjustment, and there is a screw
at the front with a spring loading which seems to move the front roller
about, but I don't seem to be able to change the behaviour using this.

Anyone else have experience of the Parkside sanders?

Any idea how to cure this?
