Ryobi WDS1600 - Belt direction.

I know this is a discontinued model but at $150 for it, amobile base, and a large roll of sandpaper, it is a great deal.

My problem is that the belt is running backwards whencompared to the instructions and videos on YouTube. I have scoured the web for information but itis scarce. I know it is a DC motor butdo not see a directional switch or where leads could be reversed. Has anyone else run into this problem?

Fixed it. Had time to really look at the machine this weekend. Turns out that on the main circuit board, the white and black wires to the belt motor were reversed. Swapped them back and its works like a charm.
