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.
6
• 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.
