• Are the mains lead and the mains plug in a good condition; strong, without ravels or damages.

• For functional reasons the turning parts of this machine are not covered. Therefore it is of utmost importance to be careful. Hold the workpiece firmly, to prevent it from slipping from your hands. Never touch the sanding surfaces of a working machine with your hands.

• Avoid the use of long extension cables. Before you operate the machine:

• Always keep the mains cable away from moving parts of the machine.

• Use a dust mask. 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. Using extension cables Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of the machine. The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm2. When using a cable reel always unwind the reel completely. 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.

• Smoke or stench of scorched isolation6

Intended use This machine combines all the advantages of a horizontal and a vertical belt sander with those of a disc sander. Its sturdy construction in cast iron and steel makes the machine suitable for every sanding job.

3.ASSEMBLY Installation Avoid the use of long extension cables. Do not forget to leave enough space around the machine for the workpieces to be sanded. Assembly

• Put the machine frame on its head and press the four rubber stops into the foot of the frame.

• Machine frame, aluminium disc (10) and work plate (12) are supplied in separate packaging.

• Push the aluminium disc on the shaft and fasten the disc with the socket bolt in the side of the disc (Fig.B - D).

• Place the work plate (12) with the shaft in the machine frame and secure the work plate with the bolt in the side of the machine frame. Check with a 90° sash angle on the work plate and against the sanding disc if the angle is exactly 90° (Fig.E).

• If necessary, adjust this angle with the calibration indicator.

• The mitre scale (13), which is also supplied separately, can be placed on the work plate (12). With the use of this mitre scale the angle of grinding can be determined precisely.

• The fence (8) for the belt sander can be placed behind the uppermost bolt of the V-belt guard. In this way the workpiece can be held firmly against the belt, without great hazards.

• Attach the vacuum cleaner to the vacuum cleaner connections (15) To prevent the workpiece or your fingers from getting caught between the work plate (12) and the sanding disc (11), the space between work plate (12) and sanding disc (11) must not exceed 1.6 mm.7

The choice of sanding paper With coarse sanding paper (P 60) generally most of the material can be removed, and fine sanding paper (P 150) is then used for finishing. An uneven surface is first treated with coarse sanding paper and sanded until it is even. Subsequently medium-coarse sanding paper (P 100) is used to remove the scratches caused by the first type of paper used. Fine sanding paper (P 150) is used for finishing. The sanding needs to be continued until the surface is smooth. The placing of the sanding paper Fig. F - H When the sanding machine is held with the sanding disc turned towards you, the sanding belt moves from right to left along the upper part of the machine. Because of this turning direction the workpiece will be pressed against the right side of the fence. An arrow on the inside indicates the right direction of running of the sanding belt (see drawing). If no direction is indicated, the sanding belt must be placed in such a way that the elevated part of the seam is placed into the turning direction of the belt. So it is very important that the sanding belt is placed in the correct way. The machine uses standard 100 x 915 mm sanding belts (6):

• Remove the plug from the mains socket.

• Push the clamping handle completely to the right to take away the tension of the transport rollers (4).

• Push the sanding belt along both of the transport rollers, starting from the back of the machine.

• Push the clamping handle completely to the left. Now the sanding belt should be completely tight.

• Turn the transport roller exactly in a right angle to the direction of the sanding belts with the use of the winged nut at the right roller. The direction of running of the belt is adjusted correctly if the sides of the sanding belt are running parallel to the bearing plate. The sanding disc Fig. D Paper or “velcro” plates are used for the sanding disc. The standard diameter is 150 mm. The plates are self adhesive. Vertical placing of the sanding belt Fig. I For more flexibility of the sanding belt its bottom side can be used, because there is no bearing plate. For an easy reach of this bottom side the sanding belt can be placed in vertical position.

• Loosen the two nuts at the front of the sanding machine, around the left transport roller shaft, with the use of an open-end spanner.

• Push the sanding belt up in the position desired.

• Fasten the two nuts again.

• The workpiece can now rest on the worktop instead of on the sanding belt;

• The work plate which is used for the sanding disc can now be pushed with the shaft into the hole of the machine frame, at the left side of the sanding machine.

• Fasten the bolt at the back of the machine.

• The work plate can now be used as support for the sanding of the work piece against the sanding belt. 4.OPERATION Always stand facing the machine so that you always have a good overview (Fig. A). Switching On/Off

• Press the switch into position ‘1’ to put your sanding machine into operation.

• To switch off the machine the same switch needs to be vpressed to position ‘0’.

• Always keep the mains cable away from moving parts.

• There is no need to apply any pressure with the workpiece, because this only slows down the speed of the sanding disc. Sanding The sanding belt and disc supplied with this sanding machine are suitable for the sanding of metal, wood or synthetic surfaces. The workpiece should always be held firmly during sanding. No extra pressure is needed. Guide the work piece up and down over the sanding belt, in order to prevent the sanding belt and plate from wearing through in one place. Round objects can be8

sanded at the ends of the sanding belt. Work pieces which are longer than the sanding machine can be sanded by removing the fence. NB: To prevent splintering, wood always needs to be sanded in the longitudinal direction of the grain. To treat a very soft surface, there is a very handy method to ‘bring the particles to the surface’. This is done as follows: wet the already sanded surface with a cloth or sponge and let it dry well. Some wood fibres will swell up more than others, which leads to a rougher surface than before. Now the higher particles are treated with fine sanding paper, the result is a remarkably smooth surface. This method should not be applied with varnished wood, however, because the varnish may come loose because of the moisture.

Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the machine and remove the mains plug from the mains. Clean the machine casings regularly with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Make sure that the ventilation openings are free of dust and dirt. Remove very persistent dirt using a soft cloth moistened with soapsuds. Do not use any solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, ammonia, etc. Chemicals such as these will damage the synthetic components. Replace power cords 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. Mains plug replacement (UK only) If the moulded 3-pin plug attached to the unit is damaged and needs replacing, it is important that it is correctly destroyed and replaced by an approved BS 1363/7A fused plug and that the following wiring instructions are followed. The wires in the mains cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:

• brown live As the colours of the wires in the mains cable of the unit may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in the plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. ENVIRONMENT Faulty and/or discarded electrical or electronic apparatus have to be collected at the appropriate recycling locations. Only for EC countries Do not dispose of power tools into domestic waste.
