TABLE DES MATIÈRES / ÍNDICE DE CONTENIDO This product has many features for making its use more pleasant and enjoyable. Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of this product making it easy to maintain and operate.

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock. PERSONAL SAFETY Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air vents. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS4 - English Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the belt may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this power tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury. Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury. Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury. Inspect power tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have repaired at your nearest Authorized Service Center. Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the power tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an Authorized Service Center. Following this rule will reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before using this power tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service center to avoid risk. Save these instructions.

All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock. NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double- check the power supply. EXTENSION CORDS When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used. When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with “WA” or “W” on the cord’s jacket. Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation. **Ampere rating (on tool data plate) 0-2.0 2.1-3.4 3.5-5.0 5.1-7.0 7.1-12.0 12.1-16.0 Cord Length Wire Size (A.W.G.) 25' 16 16 16 16 14 14 50' 16 16 16 14 14 12 100' 16 16 14 12 10 — **Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.

If your sanding job becomes dusty or if you have a breathing condition, wear a dust mask or respirator to prevent damage to your health.

SELECTING SANDING BELTS

Selecting the correct size and type of sanding belt is an important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish. Alu- minum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. In general, when sanding, coarse grit removes the most ma- terial and fine grit produces the best finish. The condition of the surface to be sanded determines which grit will do the best job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Then use medium grit to remove scratches left by the coarser grit. Finally, use finer grit for finishing the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until the surface is uniform.

SETTING THE BELT SANDER SPEED

Refer to the chart below for belt sander speed selections. OPERATION MATERIAL

See Figure 2, page 14. The sander has a variable speed control dial, A (slowest) to F (fastest), designed to allow operator control of belt speed. To increase belt speed, turn the variable speed control dial to a higher setting. Turn to a lower setting to decrease belt speed. Refer to the chart on page 9 for proper speed selections.

PROPER HAND PLACEMENT

See Figure 3, page 14. The front and rear handles allow two-handed operation which aids in maintaining control, keeping sander level with workpiece, and keeping hands clear of sanding belt. When carrying or operating the sander always hold the front handle with the left hand and the rear handle with the right hand as shown.

Keep hands and fingers clear of moving sanding belt, front pulley, and drive roller assembly. Failure to do so will result in the sanding of the hands or fingers possibly causing serious injury.

Do not let your fingers rest over the front or right edge of the sander. If the sanding belt were to run off, or if it were not properly adjusted, your fingers could come in contact with the moving sanding belt resulting in possible serious injury.

Soft start is a feature whereby the motor gradually ramps up to the selected top speed. For example, when a speed is selected with the speed limiting dial and the sander is stopped and then activated again, the sander will gradually ramp up to the previous speed setting once the switch trigger is pressed again.

TO INSTALL/CHANGE SANDING BELT

See Figures 5 - 6, page 14. Unplug the sander. Position sander as shown. OPERATION

Keep hands and fingers clear of front roller and spring mechanism at all times. Failure to do so could result in fingers getting pinched, causing possible serious injury. Belt tension must be released in order to install and remove sanding belt: Release belt tension by lifting tension release lever. Install sanding belt; make sure arrow inside of belt is pointing in the direction of rotation, which is clockwise when looking into open side of sander. NOTE: Match the arrow on the sanding belt to that of the housing. CAUTION: If the sanding belt is not a bidirectional belt, ensure that the arrow inside the belt is pointing in the direction of the rotation (clockwise when looking into the open side of the sander). Installing unidirectional sanding belts backwards can create a hazardous condition. Align the sanding belt to its correct position. Lower tension release lever to secure the sanding belt. NOTE: This sander is equipped with automatic tracking, which in most instances will cause the sanding belt to remain centered. If the sanding belt does not stay in the center area, manual adjustment of the belt tracking may be necessary. To manually adjust, see Manually Adjusting Sanding Belt Tracking in the Adjustments section of this manual.

LOCKING ON THE SANDER

See Figure 7, page 15. The lock-on feature allows you to lock the switch trigger in the ON position. Locking the switch trigger on allows you to operate the sander for extended periods of time. If you have the lock-on feature engaged during use and the sander is accidentally disconnected from the power supply, disengage the lock-on feature immediately. Also, do not lock the switch trigger if you might need to suddenly stop the sander. To lock-on the sander: Depress the switch trigger. Push in the lock-on button. Release the switch trigger. Release the lock-on button. NOTE: To release the lock, depress and release the switch trigger.10 - English

OPERATING THE SANDER

See Figure 8, page 15. Clamp or otherwise secure the work to prevent it from moving under the sander.

Unsecured work could be thrown back toward operator causing injury. Before placing sander on work surface, squeeze the switch trigger and let the motor reach its maximum speed, then lower the sander to the work surface with a slight forward motion. Using the rear handle to control the sander and the front handle only to guide it, move it slowly over the work. Allowing the sander to remain in one place will result in an uneven surface.

Keep a firm grip on sander with both hands at all times. Failure to do so could result in loss of control leading to possible serious injury. The sander was designed to provide the proper weight on the sanding belt. Excessive pressure will result in the following: Uneven work. Clogged sanding belts. Premature sanding belt wear. Removal rate will not increase. Motor damage. Irregular sanding belt tracking. NOTE: If the sanding belt moves while sanding, you may be applying too much pressure. When this occurs, remove sander from workpiece. If belt tracking is properly adjusted, sanding belt will return to its normal and correct position on the drive roller and front roller. Use a coarser belt when heavy sanding is desired, not heavy pressure. The importance of this cannot be over- emphasized. Weight has been built into the tool to give the most efficient pressure at the proper location. NOTE: The front roller of the sander was not designed for contour sanding. Sanding on the front roller could cause irregularity in sanding belt tracking and will damage the front roller. CAUTION: Sanding on the front roller may cause the tool to kickback toward the operator, creating a risk of possible injury. OPERATION

The sander is designed to be operated as shown in Figure 8, page 15 with both hands on the tool at all times for maximum control. Never operate the tool overhead or inverted from the proper operating position; serious personal injury may result.

Do not use the dust collection bag when sanding metal. Using the dust collection bag when sanding metal creates a fire hazard, which could damage the tool and lead to serious personal injury. DUST BAG See Figure 9, page 15. The dust bag provides a dust collection system for the sander. It should be installed over the exhaust hole located on the side of the sander. For more efficient operation, empty dust bag when half full. Do not connect sander to power supply before installing dust bag. To install/remove dust bag: Unplug the sander. Place the opening of dust bag over dust exhaust of the sander.

EMPTYING THE DUST BAG

See Figure 10, page 15. For more efficient operation, empty dust bag when no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through the bag better. Always empty and clean the dust bag thoroughly upon completion of a sanding operation and before placing the sander in storage.

Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can self-ignite in the sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire, always empty the dust bag frequently while sanding. Never store or leave a sander without totally emptying its dust bag. Also follow the recommendations of the coatings manufacturers. To empty the dust bag: Unplug the sander. Remove dust bag from sander. Open zipper. Shake out dust. Replace dust bag on sander.11 - English

MANUALLY ADJUSTING SANDING BELT

TRACkING See Figure 11, page 15. This sander features an automatic tracking system designed to keep the sanding belt centered. If edge sanding is desired, manual adjustment of the belt will be necessary. To manually adjust belt position: Connect the sander to power supply. Set the variable speed control dial to the lowest setting (A). With sander positioned as shown, pull switch trigger. NOTE: This position is for adjustments only. Sanding belt should not be in contact with workpiece or any foreign objects when making belt tracking adjustments. Slowly turn the tracking screw clockwise until the sanding belt is positioned at the edge of the platen. Do not allow the sanding belt to extend past the edge of the platen.

Keep hands and fingers away from moving sanding belt. Any part of body coming in contact with moving sanding belt could result in serious injury. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when operating sander. They could get caught in moving parts and foreign objects could get thrown from sander causing injury. When edge sanding is completed, return the belt to the default centered position by turn the tracking screw counterclockwise until the belt is positioned correctly. ADJUSTMENTS

When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

Always wear eye protection marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury. MAINTENANCE Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air. LUBRICATION All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required. BRUSH REPLACEMENT See Figure 12, page 15. NOTE: This belt sander is equipped with externally accessible brushes. Unplug the sander.

Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. Remove brush caps (2) using a screwdriver. Remove brush assemblies (2).12 - English MAINTENANCE Check for wear. Replace both brush assemblies when either has less than 1/4 in. length of carbon remaining. NOTE: Do not replace one side without replacing the other. Reassemble using new brush assemblies. Make sure curvature of brush matches curvature of motor and that brush moves freely in brush tube. Reassemble by reversing the steps listed above. Tighten all brush caps securely. Do not over tighten.

TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT

See Figure 13, page 15. Unplug the sander. Remove dust bag. Remove sanding belt from sander. Follow instructions on page 9 to remove sanding belt. NOTE: Removing sanding belt will simplify the process of installing a new timing belt.

Remove belt cover screw and belt cover. Force old timing belt from one of the small pulleys with a screwdriver and remove it while turning the large pulley. If it is worn out, simply cut the old timing belt and remove. Install new timing belt over large pulley and one of the small pulleys first. Press the belt onto the other small pulley, turning the large pulley as you press the belt on. Reinstall belt cover and screw. Tighten screw securely. Reinstall the sanding belt.

Never attempt to operate the belt sander without the belt cover in place.
