CAUTION! Ensure that the
sanding belt is free of bends.
When changing the belt, ensure that the
direction of the arrow on the inside of
the sanding belt matches the one of the
housing of the unit. The sanding belt
must sit flush with the right-hand edge
of the sanding disc (11). Return the
tensioning lever back to position. Press
the belt adjuster (5) to adjust the belt
run. Turning the adjuster screw left or
right with the machine running allows
you to exactly set the belt to run
straight parallel to the right-hand edge
of the sanding disc (11). If you do not
perform this adjustment, the sanding
belt will be damaged. Sanding belts that
show considerable wear should be
replaced.
Dust collection mechanism
• The electrical tool has a mechanism
that enables you to collect or vacuum
the sanding dust.
• Slide the dust collection bag opening
as far as it will go onto the exhaust
opening (12) on the housing. The bag
is closed using a zip. Emptying the
bag frequently increases the exhaust
performance.
CAUTION! Wood dust is
dangerous! Thus, always work
with the dust collection mechanism
attached.

Working with the belt sander
Before starting work, check that the
machine has been set to a belt speed
suitable for the material.
Hold the machine with both hands
parallel to the surface. Switch on before
making contact with the material.
Carefully place on the surface to be
sanded and move backwards and
forwards. Do not apply excess pressure,
the weight of the machine itself is
sufficient. Applying too much pressure
will worsen the results of the sanding
process and damage the engine. The
