5. CHANGING A SANDING BELT (See Fig. E)
WARNING! Remove the main plug from
the socket before changing sanding
belt.
Pull the sanding belt lever to release the belt tension.
Remove and fit a new sanding belt over both rollers . Ensure
the direction of rotation arrows on the sanding belt and
on the sander are the same. Close the lever to tension the
sanding belt .
6. BELT CENTERING CONTROL (See Fig. F)
WARNING! Wear eye protection before
carrying out a belt centering
adjustment.
Turn the machine upside down, hold it firmly with one hand,
start the motor and release the switch immediately after
observing tracking of sanding belt. If abrasive belt runs
outward, turn belt centering control knob counter-clockwise
and clockwise if belt runs inward. Adjust the belt until the
outer edge of the belt is even with the outer edge of the
base-plate. Belt life will be greatly increased by keeping the
tracking adjustment set properly.
7. DUST BAG (See Fig. G)
You must use the dust bag provided to collect the dust
produced during sanding. The dust bag’s plastic bracket
slides down onto the dust extraction outlet on the belt
sander. When the dust collection bag is full, remove and
empty by opening the zipper on the dust bag.
8. DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT (See Fig. H, I)
WARNING! Remove the main plug from
the socket before carrying out a drive
belt replacement.
Remove the two screws (a) and the belt cover as shown.
(See Fig. H)
Carefully cut the drive belt if not already broken and remove
from your belt sander. Fit your new drive belt around the
large pulley. Then install onto the small pulley by rotating
clockwise and pushing the drive belt shown around the
small pulley at the same time. The drive belt will be a tight
fit. (See Fig. I)
Fit the belt cover and two screws (a).
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If your sander will not operate, check the power at the
mains plug.
2. If the sander does not abrade surface, checking the
sanding belt. If the sanding belt has been worn, replace the
new sanding belt and try again. The sanding belt must be
kept in a dry place.
3. If a fault cannot be rectified, return the sander to an
authorized dealer for repair.
WORKING HINTS FOR
YOUR BELT SANDER
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at
low speed, set the speed to maximum and run with no load
for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage
at very low speed. Always use a sanding belt suited to the
material you wish to sand. Always ensure the work-piece
is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. Support
large panels close to the sanding area. Any movement of the
material may affect the quality of the sanding finish. Start
your sander before sanding and turn off only after stopping
sanding. For best results sand wood in the direction of the
grain. Do not start sanding without the sanding belt fitted.
Empty the dust bag every 5 minutes or sooner to ensure
efficient dust collection.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store
your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation
slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
