Class ll machine. Your
machine is double insu-
lated; therefore no earth-
wire is required.
Replacing cables or plugs
Immediately throw away old cables

Hints on the safe Use of the
Power File
Before each use, make sure the
sanding belt is free from damage and
can move freely. The edges of the
belt should not be frayed and the
seam must be in good condition.
The unit should be clean and there
should be no parts missing.
If you hear unusual sounds during
operation or abnormal vibration
occurs, stop operating the unit and
check the correct fit of the sanding
belt and the sanding arm. If the fault
cannot be remedied, have the power
file checked by a professional.
If possible, place the work pieces in
a vice or secure them to a work-
bench or other solid base.
When using the file on wood, it
should be used in the direction of the
fibres whenever possible to avoid
ripping fibres from the wood.
If very wide work pieces are
machined, it is advisable to align the
machine in such a way that it covers
as much of the surface as possible at
the same time to achieve a smooth
and level surface.
Installing/Replacing the
Sanding Belt
Disconnect the unit from the power
mains.
1. Slacken the sanding arm by
pushing the sanding arm back
into the machine until it locks into
place. To do so you can press the
front of the sanding arm against a
solid, strong surface like the edge
of a work-bench. The sanding
arm is locked into place when the
locking button (4) snaps up.
2. Remove the sanding belt (5) from
the machine and insert the new
sanding belt. Please observe the
direction arrow on the sanding
belt and the covers of the hinges.
The direction arrows have to face
in the same direction.
3. Tension the sanding belt by
pressing the locking button. It
may be necessary to put some
pressure on the sanding arm
again to do so.
