General safety advice for electrical power tools / Preparing for use
J
Securely support the workpiece. Use clamps or
a vice to grip the workpiece firmly. This is much
safer than holding it with your hand.
J
Never support yourself by placing your hands
near or in front of the device or the workpiece
surface. A slip can result in injury.
J
If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains
plug immediately out of the mains socket.
J
Always work with the mains lead leading
away from the rear of the device.
J
Avoid contact with the moving sanding belt.
J
Do not work on moistened materials or damp
surfaces.
J
Always switch on the device before placing it
against the workpiece. After sanding, lift the de-
vice from the workpiece before switching it off.
J
When working always hold the device securely
with both hands (see Fig. D). Always keep
proper footing and balance.
J
Switch the device off and allow it to come to
a complete standstill before you put it down.
J
When taking a break from your work, before
carrying out any tasks on the device itself (e.g.
changing the sanding belt) and when you are
not using the device, always pull the mains
plug out of the mains socket.
Q
Preparing for use
Take note of the mains voltage. The mains voltage
at the mains socket must match that shown on the
rating plate on the device. Devices marked with
230 V can also be operated at 220 V.
Q
Tensioning / changing the
sanding belt
WarNING!
Before you carry out any work
on the belt sander always pull the plug out of the
mains socket.
1. Then release the tensioner for the sanding belt
by moving the tensioning lever
9
fully out-
wards (see fig. A). The tensioner is now open
and the 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 size.
IMPOrTaNT:
The direction of the arrows on
the inside of the sanding belt must agree with
that on sander housing.
3. Press the tensioning lever
9
back into its
initial position.
adjusting the sanding belt:
j
Pick up the device, switch it on and turn it over.
Adjust the belt tracking by turning the adjuster
screw
6
until the edge of the sanding belt is
flush with and runs parallel to the edge of the
device (Fig. B.).
IMPOrTaNT:
Always make sure that the
sanding belt does not cut into the housing.
Check the sanding belt regularly and if neces-
sary re-adjust it using the adjuster screw
6
.
Q
advice on use
Light sanding pressure is enough:
j
Apply light sanding pressure only. The weight
of the belt sander alone is adequate to pro-
duce good sanding results. By adopting this
approach you will also prolong the life of your
sanding belts and obtain a smoother work-
piece surface.
Sanding and surfaces:
The sanding output and the quality of the surface
finish obtained are determined by the belt speed
and the grade of grit on the sanding belt (see the
section on “Selecting the correct rotational speed
and sanding belt”).
Sanding procedure:
j
With the sander switched on, bring it into con-
tact with the workpiece and move it forward
carefully. Work in parallel and overlapping
widths. Always work in the direction of the grain
to avoid undesirable transverse sanding marks.
After sanding always lift the device from the
workpiece before switching it off.
