Hints for work

Bevel sanding, Fig. 14

The worktable can be tilted from 0° to 45° for bevel sand-

ing. To tilt the worktable:

•  Loosen the table lock knob by turning it counterclock-

wise.

•  Set worktable to desired angle.

Note: 

Position the worktable not further than 1/16 in. (1.6 

mm) from the sanding surface.

•  Tighten the table lock knob by turning it clockwise.

Sanding small end surfaces using the miter gauge, 

Fig. 15

A miter gauge is included with your tool for increased ac-

curacy. Use of a miter gauge is recommended for sanding 

small end surfaces on the sanding disc.

Note: Always move the workpiece across the sanding disc 

from the left side towards the right side.

Horizontal and vertical sanding, Fig. 16

Your belt/disc sander can sand both vertically and hori-

zontally. Depending on the workpiece, the work support 

can be used with either the horizontal or vertical sanding 

operation.

•  Insert the hex key provided into the holes in the pulley 

cover. Loosen the screws by turning them counterclock-

wise.

•  Move the sanding belt into a vertical position as shown 

in Figure 16. Vertical position can be changed using the 

vertical set screw.

•  Lock the sanding belt by retightening the screws. Note: 

Sand long workpieces with the sanding belt in the verti-

cal position by moving the work evenly across the sand-

ing belt.

Surface sanding on the sanding belt, Fig. 17

•  Hold  the  workpiece  firmly,  keeping  fingers  away  from 

the sanding belt.

•  Keep the end pressed firmly against the work support 

moving work evenly across the sanding belt.

Note: 

Use extra caution when sanding very thin pieces 

and when sanding extra long pieces, remove the work 

support. Apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding 

belt to remove the material.

Sanding curved pieces, see Fig. 18 and 19

WARNING: 

Never attempt to sand the end pieces of a 

workpiece on the idler drum. Applying the end of the work-

piece on the idler drum could cause the workpiece to fly 

up. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious 

personal injury.

Sanding inside curves on sanding belt:

Always sand inside curves on the idler drum as shown in 

Figure 18.

•  Hold  the  workpiece  firmly,  keeping  fingers  away  from 

the sanding belt.

•  Keep  the  curve  pressed  firmly  against  the  idler  drum 

moving work evenly across the sanding belt.

Note: 

Use extra caution when sanding very thin pieces 

and apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding belt 

to remove the material.

WARNING: 

Applying the workpiece to the right side of the 

sanding disc could cause the workpiece kickback. Failure 

to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

Sanding outside curves on sanding disc:

Always sand outside curves using the sanding disc and 

moving the workpiece from the left side of center as 

shown in Figure 19.

•  Hold  the  workpiece  firmly,  keeping  fingers  away  from 

the sanding disc.

•  Keep the curve pressed firmly against the sanding disc 

moving work evenly on the left side of the sanding disc.

Electrical connection

The installed electric motor is factory connected ready for 

operation. The connection meets the applicable VDE and 

DlN regulations.

The connection made by the customer as well as any ex-

tension cables used must comply with all relevant regula-

tions.

Connection and repair work on the elctric equipment must 

be carried out by a qualified technician only.

Important note

The motor rating is S 1. This means that when overloaded 

it switches off automatically. After a cooling period (can 

vary) you may switch it on again.

Maintenance

Warning: 

When servicing use only identical replacement 

parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or 

cause product damage.

Warning: 

To avoid serious personal injury make sure the 

belt/disc sander is turned OFF and the cord is unplugged 

from the power source before performing any mainte-

nance or adjustment.

General maintenance

After using your belt/disc sander, clean it completely and 

lubricate all sliding and moving parts. Apply a light coat of 

automotive type paste wax to the worktable to help keep 

the surfaces clean.

Motor housing

Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside 

the motor housing.

Changing drive belt, Fig. 20.

• Using a phillips head screwdriver, remove the two 

screws in the center of the pulley cover.

•  Remove the cover.

•  Raise sanding belt to the vertical sanding position (see 

Figure 20).

•  Next, loosen the hex head set screw. Raising the motor 

pulley releases the belt tension.

•  Remove the old drive belt.

•  Fit the new drive belt on the drive pulley first and then 

on the motor pulley.

•  Test belt tension by squeezing the belt with your fingers.

•  Adjust the belt tension with the hex head set screw until 

there is about 1/4 in. (6 mm) of give.

•  Tighten the belt tension nut securely.
