Residual risks
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s
construction and design:
1. Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
2. Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
3. Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the power tool is being used over longer period of time or not adequately managed and properly main-
tained.
WARNING! This machine produces an electromagnetic field during operation. This field may under some circumstances interfere with active or passive medical
implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and the medical implant manu-
facturer before operating this machine.
Intended use
Operating instructions
The tool is intended for sanding large surfaces of wood, plastics and metal surfaces and painted surfaces.
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Switch action
CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it.
Assembly instructions
Sanding operation
CAUTION: The tool should not be in contact with the workpiece surface when you turn the tool on or off.
Otherwise a poor sanding finish or damage of the belt may result.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on and wait until it attains full speed. Then gently place the tool on the workpiece surface. Keep the belt
flush with the workpiece at all times and move the tool back and forth.
Never force the tool. The weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Excessive pressure may cause stalling, overheating of the motor, burning of the work-
piece and possible kickback.
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing abrasive belt
Pull the lever all the way out and install the belt over the rollers, then return the lever to the original position.
CAUTION: When installing the belt, make sure that the direction of the arrow on the back of the belt corresponds to the one on the tool itself.
Adjusting belt tracking
While the belt is running, use the adjusting knob to center the belt tracking. Failure to do so can result in frayed belt edges and wear on the sander frame.
Dust bag
Attach the dust bag onto the dust spout. The dust spout is tapered. When attaching the dust bag, push it onto the dust spout firmly as far as it will go to prevent
it from coming off during operation.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to
remove particles adhering to the insides which might hamper further collection.
NOTE: If you connect a Bormann vacuum cleaner to this tool, more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.
Carbon plat
For greater sanding efficiency and to help the belt run cooler, install an optional carbon plate (not included) on the steel plate when sanding hardwood or steel.
Connecting to a vacuum cleaner
Cleaner sanding operations can be performed by connecting the belt sander to a vacuum cleaner.
When connecting to a vacuum cleaner, an optional hose 28 mm in inner diameter is necessary.
