Cheers and good luck!
Centering the belt was problematic mainly due to using worn belts (saving money). Mea culpa.
First one lasted 8 years before the intermittent screeching became embarrassing, waking the whole neighborhood (saving money). Again.
I bought another because it’s light, easily controlled and gives one a good view of what is being sanded
I got the sander and put it right to work. I paid attention to the front wheel and adjustment as many reviews here complained that it was badly engineered and the belt kept coming off. I completed about 150 feet of edging, under railings and along the house on this deck and the belt acted exactly as you would expect; if you push in one direction it will move in the opposite direction. In other words, if I am pushing down on the front of the machine and I slide the machine to the left, the belt will want to move to the right. It isn't an engineering issue, its physics.
Anyway, great product. Did exactly what I wanted it to do and solved a great problem because of the unique design. Well done B&D.

This was enough for me to handle. The narrow front allowed me to get under the railings. The narrow width allowed me to sand the risers on the stairs.
If you are painting a deck, I highly recommend getting a Shur Line 7" Pad. I've always been old school and used a paintbrush, but the pad saved time and you no longer need to be on your knees. After doing the sanding you will appreciate being on your feet. Used a brush on a pole to do the cracks and went back over with pad... Fraction of the time spent and a better final finish as there are no brush marks.
Changing the sandpaper was easy, there is a little knob to adjust the alignment from side to side.
I will see how long this sander lasts.
