Handle Adjustment - Triton TA1200BS Instrucciones De Funcionamiento

6. Whilst the belt is
running, adjust the
tracking knob (6) to
align the belt to the
centre of the roller
(13). Repeat the trigger
action and tracking
adjustment until the belt is correctly aligned.
Only slight rotations of the knob are required
to track the belt and then hold the trigger for
a few seconds for the belt to adjust. Run the
sander for a minute or so to ensure correct
alignment before using the sander on a
workpiece.
Do not continue to use the sander with a
sanding belt that is overworn or damaged.
Do not use the same sanding belt for
wood and metal. Metal particles become
embedded in the belt and will scour a
wooden surface.
SELECTING ThE RIGhT
GRADE OF SANDING BELT
Different grades of sanding belt can be
purchased from your local hardware store.
Typical grades are coarse (40 grit), medium (80
and 100 grit) and fine (120 grit).
Use coarse grade to remove rough finishes,
medium grade to smooth the work and fine
grade to finish it off. It is best to make a trial run
on a scrap piece of material to determine the
optimum grades of belt for a particular job.
In order to take full advantage of your sander,
always purchase good quality belts.
After sanding with a belt sander, an orbital
sander should be used to give a better
surface finish.
