OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
DUST COLLECTION
Warning
! Before installing dust bag, unplug
the belt sander from its source of power. When
using your belt sander, dust and grit are
produced, therefore it is important to use a dust
bag (A) Fig.5. To connect the dust bag to the
dust collection port on the belt sander, place
the right edge of the dust bag against the right
edge of the dust collection port as shown in
Fig.5. Press the dust bag wiring at the top of
the dust bag (B) together, this will widen the
opening. Slide dust bag over dust collection
port and release.
Caution
! Do not allow the dust bag to get too full. Empty the dust bag regularly to improve
the dust collection, this will also reduce the risk of spontaneous combustion especially
when sanding polyurethane, varnish, etc. Do not dispose of the dust particules in an open
fire. You should always empty the dust bag before each time you store the tool away.
Caution! When working on metal surfaces, do not use the dust bag or a vacuum
cleaner because sparks are generated.
Wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Due to
the danger of fire, do not use your belt sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use
for wet sanding.
SANDING LEAD BASED PAINT
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED
due to the difficulties controlling
the contaminated dust, children and pregnant women run the greatest risks of lead
poisoning.
OPERATION HINTS
For best results, it is important to lay the platen (sander base) flat on the workpiece while
sanding to prevent gouging. Always start your belt sanding before it is in contact with the
workpiece. When possible, clamp your workpiece to a work bench. Use the correct grit
sanding belt for your application. 60 Grit-paint removal, 80 Grit- Solid wood/steel, 100
Grit- plastic/acrylic.
MAINTAINING YOUR BELT SANDER
Never apply excessive force on your belt sander, overloading and motor damage could
happen. Always keep the air cooling vents clear of debris using a clean dry paint brush.
Compressed air is not recommended because of the air borne dust particules it creates.
Parts such as the carbon brushes, drive belt and base pads wear down and will
eventually need to be replaced. To obtain these commonly replaced wear parts, contact
your nearest King Canada authorized service center with the following part order numbers;
4983570280- Carbon brush set (2), 4983570460- Drive belt, 4983570680- Leather pad,
