Attaching a sanding belt
Always ensure that the machine is switched off and plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustment.
1. Select the required grade of sanding belt.
2. Pull the belt tension lever.
3. Slip a sanding belt into position with the arrow on the inside of the belt pointing in the same direction as the rotation indicator on the sander.
4. Fold down the lever.
WARNING: Do not continue to use the sander with a sanding belt that is overworn
or damaged.
WARNING: Do not use the same sanding belt for wood and metal. Metal particles
become embedded in the belt and will scour a wooden surface.
Adjusting sanding belt tracking
WARNING: For your safety, before plugging the tool into a power point, ensure
that the trigger switch is set to the “off”position.
1. Plug the sander into a power point and with the sander belt tight, press the trigger switch and then release it. The belt rotates for a short period.
2. Whilst the belt is running, adjust the tracking adjustment knob to align the belt to the centre of the roller.
3. Repeat the trigger action and tracking adjustment until the belt is correctly aligned.
4. Run the sander for a minute or so to ensure correct alignment before using the sander on a workpiece.
Dust extraction
We recommend the use of the dust extraction facility at all times. Simply slide the dust bag onto the dust extraction port. For longer periods of use or
on large pieces of work, it is advisable to use a suitable vacuum cleaner.
