INSTALLING OR REMOVING  

THE ABRASIVE BELT

 

 CAUTION:

 

 Always make sure that the tool is switched off and  

unplugged before installing or removing the belt.

Loop the belt over the front pulley. Hold the tool as shown below  

and press down to retract the front pulley so that you can slip the 

other end of the belt over the rear pulley. When pressing down the 

tool be careful not to allow the front pulley to turn unexpectedly 

causing you to lose control of the tool.

NOTE: The arrow on the inside of the belt and that marked on the 

rear pulley, must point in the same direction. See diagram below.

SWITCH ACTION

CAUTION: Before plugging the tool into an electrical socket, always 

check to see that the trigger switch operates correctly and returns 

to the “OFF” position when released. If it does not operate properly, 

do not use the tool. Have it repaired immediately. To start the tool, 

simply push the trigger switch. Release the trigger switch to stop. 

For continuous operation, push the trigger switch and then push i 

the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, push the 

trigger switch fully, then release it.

SPEED ADJUSTING DIAL

The belt running speed can be adjusted and maintained 

between 656 ft and 3280 ft per minute by turning the adjusting 

dial. The dial is marked 1 (lowest speed) to 6 (full speed)

 CAUTION:

 

 Adjust the speed adjusting dial only within the range 

of numbers 1 through 6. Do not force the dial beyond 

this range or damage to the tool may result.
