The belt sander should be connected to a suitable external vacuum suction device when sanding wood for long periods
and in particular when sanding materials that give rise to dusts that may be hazardous to health. Wear a breathing mask,
ear protectors and protective glasses.
The sander is not to be used on materials containing asbestos.
Secure the workpiece to be sanded if it is not stable under its own weight.
Always make sure that the machine is switched off before you pull the socket out of the mains socket.
Switch on the belt sander first before you bring it into contact with the workpiece and lift the sander off the workpiece before you switch it off.
Do not continue to use a sanding belt if it is worn out or ripped.
Avoid touching the moving sanding belt - danger of injury.
Switch off the machine and let the belt come to a standstill before you place the sander down.
Attention: sparks may be generated during use - danger of fire. Sparks may be generated when metals are being sanded. You should
therefore always be careful to ensure that no one is placed in danger and no inflammable materials are kept near the working area.
Use original spare parts and accessories to ensure the best performance from your sander.
USING THE SANDER FOR THE FIRST TIME
Note the mains voltage. The mains voltage must correspond with that shown on the sander rating plate.
Equipment labelled as 230 V may also be used with 220 V.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
You can select intermittent or continuous operation mode. For short busts of sanding use the intermittent setting. For normal
or longer periods of sanding we recommend the continuous setting. Operation in your selected mode is as follows:
SWITCH ON INTERMITTENT MODE:
Press the ON/OFF switch
SWITCH OFF INTERMITTENT MODE:
Release the ON/OFF switch
SWITCH ON CONTINUOUS MODE:
Press the ON/OFF switch
and secure it in the pressed position with the locking knob
SWITCH OFF CONTINUOUS MODE:
Press the ON/OFF switch
and then release it
TENSIONING/CHANGING THE
SANDING BELT
ATTENTION: Before you carry out any work on the belt sander always pull the plug out of the mains socket.
1)
Release the tensioner for the sanding belt
by turning the tensioning lever
fully outwards (see figure
). The belt holder
is now open and sanding belt can be removed.
2) Next insert a
new sanding belt
or change the belt for one suitable for a different material or one with a different grit.
IMPORTANT: The direction of the arrow on the inside of the sanding belt must agree with that on sander housing (see Fig.
).
3)
Fully tension the sanding belt
– turn the tensioning lever
back into its initial position.
4) Lift up the sander and switch it on.
Adjust the belt tracking
by turning the adjuster screw
until the edge of the sanding belt
is flush with and runs parallel to the slider plate.
Always make sure that the sanding belt does not cut into the housing.
Check the sanding belt regularly
and re-adjust if necessary
using the adjuster screw
.
