speed is what you need for the 

job in hand.

Attaching a sanding belt

WARNING.

 Switch off the sander and disconnect it from  

the power point.
1. Turn the belt tension lever (7) to release the tension on 

the belt and slide off the old belt.

2. Check that the replacement belt has a good join and is 

not frayed at the edges. 

3. Slip the new belt into position with the rotation arrow on 

the inside of the belt pointing in the same direction as the 

arrow on the side of the sander.

4. Turn the belt tension lever (7) anti-clockwise to re-tension 

the belt.

5. Plug the sander into a power 

point and with the sander held 

tight, pull the on/off trigger 

switch (5) and allow the belt to 

rotate for a short period.

6. Whilst the belt is running, 

adjust the tracking knob (10) 

to align the belt to the centre 

of the roller (6). Repeat the 

trigger action and tracking 

adjustment until the belt is 

correctly aligned. Only slight 

rotations of the knob are 

required to track the belt and 

then hold the trigger for a few 

seconds for the belt to adjust. 

Run the sander for a minute or 

so to ensure correct alignment 

before using the sander on a 

workpiece.

WARNING.

 Do not continue to 

use the sander with a sanding 

belt that is overworn or damaged.

WARNING.

 Do not use the 

same sanding belt for wood and 

metal. Metal particles become 

embedded in the belt and will scour a wooden surface.
