Explanation of symbols

Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life or damage to the tool in case of non-observance of the instructions in this manual.

Indicates the presence of an electrical voltage.

Wear safety goggles. Wear hearing protection.

Specific safety instructions

Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces where the accessory may contact hidden wiring or the mains cable. If the accessory contacts a ‘live’ wire, the exposed metal parts of the machine can also become ‘live’. Risk of electric shock.

• If you are working with the sanding machine, wear always ear protectors and dust mask.
• The sanding machine is not suitable for wet sanding.
• Check if the switch is not in position "ON", before you connect the mains plug to the mains voltage.
• Keep the mains lead always away from moving parts of the tools.
• Use safety glasses, especially when you sand above your head.
• Do not bring pressure to your machine, this will only delay the sanding.

Contact or inhalation of dust coming free during sanding (e.g. lead painted surfaces, woods and metals), can endanger the health of operator and bystanders. Always wear appropriate personal equipment as a dust mask and use the dust bag during sanding.

Immediately switch off the machine when:

• Excessive sparking of the carbon brushes and verticiliosis in the collector.
• Interruption of the mains plug, mains lead or mains lead damage.
• Defect switch
• Smoke or stench of scorched isolation

Electrical safety

When using electric machines always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions and also the enclosed safety instructions.

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Class II machine. Your machine is double insulated; therefore no earthwire is required.

Replacing cables or plugs

Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.

Using extension cables

Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of the machine. The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm^2 . When using a cable reel always unwind the reel completely.

3. Operation

Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

Choice of the sand-paper

Coarse sand-paper (grain 40) removes in general the bigger part of the material and fine sand-paper is used for the finishing. If the surface is not even, then start with rough sand-paper. Further you use middle coarse sand-paper(grain 80) to remove the scratches left behind by the coarse sand-paper and finally you take fine sand-paper (grain 120) for the finishing.

Before assembly the sanding belt always remove the plug from the mains.

Setting the speed

Fig. F

The speed adjustment wheel is used for setting the speed. The speed adjustment wheel can be set to 6 positions. The ideal speed depends on the required grain size and on the material to be worked.

Do not set the speed during use.

• Turn the speed adjustment wheel (7) to the required position.
• For hard materials, use a sanding belt with a fine grain size and select a lower speed.
• For soft materials, use a sanding belt with a coarse grain size and select a higher speed.
• After working for longer periods at low speed you should allow the machine to cool down by running it at maximum speed with no-load for approx. 3 minutes.

Mounting dustbag

Fig. E

A complete dust bag is enclosed. Put the wire-bracket (inside the dust bag) into to the adapter of the dust bag (when not mounted). The end of the bracket has to point upwards. Use the dust bag to collect dust which is released during sanding.

• Put the dust bag on the dust collection opening
• Empty the dust bag regularly in order to obtain an efficient dust extraction.

Grip

The use of the belt sander is made easier because of the two grips one on the front side and one on the back. Through that you can hold the machine with two hands, you have a better control of the machine and there is less risk to becoming in touch with the moving parts.

Hold the belt sander always with both hands.

Operating instructions

Make sure that the machine has reached its full speed before placing the machine on the work piece. This will prevent an overload of the machine.

The wide arm is for general use, for slotting and for making joints. (Fig. H)

The narrow arm is finer detail, for cutting and for carving. (Fig. I)

The angled arm is for grooving and sanding in the centre of workpieces and in confined areas (A).

Use section B for curved surfaces. (Fig. J)

• Do not bend the sanding belts
• Do not bring too much pressure to your machine, this will only delay the sanding.
• Regularly check the condition of the sanding belt. Replace when necessary.
  • Always sand with the grain of the wood.
