Original operating instructions

The belt and disk grinding/sander is designed for grinding/sanding all types of timber commensura- te with the machine’s size. The equipment is to be used only for its prescri- bed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or inju- ries of any kind caused as a result of this. The machine is allowed to be operated only with suitable grinding/sanding belts which comply with the data specifi ed in this manual. To use the equipment properly you must also observe the safety information, the assembly instructions and the operating instructions to be found in this manual. All persons who use and service the equipment have to be acquainted with these operating instructions and must be informed about the equipment‘s potential hazards. It is also imperative to observe the accident pre- vention regulations in force in your area. The same applies for the general rules of health and safety at work. The manufacturer will not be liable for any chan- ges made to the equipment nor for any damage resulting from such changes. Even when the equipment is used as prescribed it is still impossible to eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the machine‘s construction and design:

Harmful emissions of wood dust when used in closed rooms.

The rotating parts of the device cannot be covered for functional reasons. Therefore you must exercise care and hold the workpiece firmly to prevent it slipping which could result in your hands coming into contact with the grinding/sanding belt. Please note that our equipment has not been de- signed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

The specifi ed vibration value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equip- ment is used and may exceed the specifi ed value in exceptional circumstances. The specifi ed vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools. Anl_TC_US_400_SPK9.indb 17Anl_TC_US_400_SPK9.indb 17 24.07.2018 13:53:5524.07.2018 13:53:55GB

The specifi ed vibration value can be used for initi- al assessment of a harmful eff ect. Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

Only use appliances which are in perfect wor- king order.

Service and clean the appliance regularly.

Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.

Do not overload the appliance.

Have the appliance serviced whenever ne- cessary.

3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vib-

rations if the equipment is used over a pro- longed period or is not properly guided and maintained.

5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data. Warning! Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

All covers and safety devices have to be pro- perly fitted before the equipment is switched on.

It must be possible for the grinding/sanding belt and disk to run freely.

When working with wood that has been pro- cessed before, watch out for foreign bodies such as nails or screws, etc.

Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make sure that the abrasive paper is correctly fitted and that the equipment‘s moving parts run smoothly.

Plug the rubber feet (2) onto the base plate (5).

Secure the plastic guard (16) with the screws (17). (Fig. 2)

Plug the grinding/sanding disk (13) onto the shaft. (Fig. 3)

Tighten the screw (18) with the Hexagon key (19) in order to secure the grinding/sanding disk (13). (Fig. 3/4)

Mount the lower wheel guard (20) with the screws (21). (Fig. 4)

Mount the grinding/sanding table (14) and se- cure with the screw (15). (Fig. 5) The grinding/ sanding table (14) can be infinitely adjusted from 0° to 45° with the miter scale (23) and the thumb screw (22). The adjustable cross stop (7) ensures safe guidance of the work- piece.

Important. The grinding/sanding disk (13) must be able to run freely, but the distance between the grinding/sanding table (14) and the grinding/sanding disk (13) is not allowed to exceed 1.6 mm.

Put on the stop rail (12) and secure with the screws (24) and (25). (Fig. 6)

Important. The grinding/sanding belt (11) must be able to run freely. 5.2. Changing the grinding/sanding belt (11) (Fig. 7 - 9)

Pull out the power plug.

Remove the screws (25) and (26).

Remove the grinding/sanding belt guard (27).

Turn the grinding/sanding tensioner (9) to the right in order to reduce the tension on the grinding/sanding belt (11).

Remove the grinding/sanding belt (11) to the rear.

Mount and the new grinding/sanding belt in reverse order.

Important. Note the running direction: On the housing (28) and on the inside of the grin- ding/sanding belt! 5.3. Adjusting the grinding/sanding belt (11) (Fig. 1)

Push the grinding/sanding belt (11) by hand slowly in the running direction.

The grinding/sanding belt (11) must run centrally on the grinding/sanding surface (6). If not, you can use the knurled screw (10) to make adjustments. Anl_TC_US_400_SPK9.indb 18Anl_TC_US_400_SPK9.indb 18 24.07.2018 13:53:5624.07.2018 13:53:56GB

The grinder/sander can be switched on by pressing the green button „1“ (1).

Always hold the workpiece firmly during grin- ding/sanding.

Do not exert excessive pressure.

To prevent the abrasive paper from becoming worn on one side, the workpiece should be moved to and fro on the grinding/sanding belt or grinding/sanding plate as you grind/sand.

Important! Pieces of wood should always be sanded with the grain to prevent them splitting. Important. If the grinding wheel or the grinding/sanding belt becomes jammed during operation, please re- move the workpiece until the tool reaches its top speed again.

7. Replacing the power cable

Danger! If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Danger! Always pull out the mains power plug before star- ting any cleaning work.

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could at- tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu- re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
