Working procedures
A light grinding pressure is sufficient:
■
Apply minimal pressure when grinding. The belt
sander's own weight is sufficient for a good
grinding result. In addition, working this way
helps to reduce the wear on the abrasive belt
and the surface of the workpiece will become
smoother.
Removal and surface:
■
The material removal rate and surface quality
are determined by the belt speed and grain
strength of the sandpaper (see also the section
"Selecting speed and abrasive belt").
Grinding:
■
Place the appliance on the workpiece when
switched on and work at a moderate feed rate.
Guide the sander in parallel and overlapping
sanding motions over the workpiece. To avoid
unpleasant transverse grinding marks, always
sand in the direction of the grain.
After completing the task, lift the appliance from
the workpiece and then switch it off.
NOTE
►
Always hold the appliance firmly with two
hands while working.
Dust extraction
WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSION!
■
If there is an explosive dust/air mixture, you
must use a specially-designed extraction
device.
RISK OF FIRE DUE TO FLYING SPARKS!
Do not use dust extraction systems (dust col-
lector or vacuum cleaners) when grinding
metals.
■
Materials containing asbestos may not be pro-
cessed. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!
■
When working with power tools which
have a dust collector or can be connected
to a vacuum cleaner via a vacuum cleaner
adapter, there is a risk of fire! In unfavourable
conditions, e.g. when sparks are flying while
sanding metal or metal residues in wood,
wood dust in the dust collector (or the bag
of the vacuum cleaner) can spontaneously
ignite. This is a particular risk if the wood
dust is mixed with paint residues or other
chemicals and the workpiece has become hot
after being worked for a long time. Therefore,
do not allow the workpiece to overheat and
always empty the dust box or the dust bag
of the vacuum cleaner before taking a break
from work.
■
Ensure that your workplace is adequately
ventilated.
■
Observe the regulations applicable in
your country regarding the materials to be
worked.
■
Wear a dust mask.
Dust extraction with dust collector (see fig. C):
♦
Push the dust collector onto the extraction
nozzle .
