PREPARATION & SETUP 

WARNING!

Failure to unplug your belt sander could result in accidental

starting causing possible serious injury.

Attaching the Dust Bag to the Belt Sander

Attach the dust bag (6) to the belt sander by sliding the
plastic dust bag adaptor over the dust ejection port on
the left hand side of the belt sander beside the rear soft
grip handle (1) (Fig. 1).

To Adjust the Front Handle

The adjustable front handle (3) can be repositioned to
maximise your comfort whilst sanding.

1. Pull out the lever to disengage the front handle (3)

(Fig. 2).

2. Adjust the front handle to one of the three available positions. 

3. Push the lever back into place to secure the 

adjustable front handle (3) (Fig. 3).

Belt Selection 

Selecting the correct belt for the job is an important step in achieving optimum
results. For initial smoothing of rough timber, use course or very course grit and
sand with the grain. On very uneven surfaces or hardwood , sand across the grain.
Be careful to avoid gouging. Next, switch to a medium grit belt and sand with the
grain. This will provide a relatively level and smooth finish. Insert a fine belt for final
finishing. Always sand with the grain to remove scratches left by coarser belts.
Keep the sander moving in long, light strokes during finishing operations. As a final
touch, experienced sanders will often insert a “used” fine belt to provide a smooth
surface before filling, sealing, brushing or spraying.

Note: 

It is recommended to test on a sample piece of timber prior to using on

your workpiece.
