DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS
CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
MAINTENANCE
• Keep the ventilation vents of the sander clean at all times, if possible, prevent
foreign matter from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the sander housing to ensure it is free from
all dust particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the
sander to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the sander requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist
soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the sander; never immerse any
part of the sander into a liquid.
Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the sander
will spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon
as this happens. They should be replaced prior to
recommencing use of the sander. Carbon brushes
are a wearing component of the sander therefore not
covered under warranty. Continuing to use the sander
when carbon brushes need to be replaced may cause
permanent damage to the sander. Carbon brushes
will wear out after many uses but when the carbon brushes need to be replaced,
take the sander to an electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick and low cost
replacement. Always replace both carbon brushes at the same time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused
by the repair of the sander by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the
sander.
IMPORTANT:
If the motor on your belt sander operates but the belt does not rotate, follow these
instructions. In most cases, it isn’t necessary to return the product back to the
store. Check that the drive belt has not been damaged. If it is damaged or broken,
replace with the spare belt provided.
1. To remove and check the drive belt, remove the two screws from the belt
cover. If the belt is damaged, worn or broken, replace with a new drive belt.
2. To remove drive belt, simply use a pair of scissors to cut the drive belt.
Note:
DO NOT pry the belt off the pulley as this may damage the housing.
3. To fit the new drive belt, place it around the large belt wheel. Align the ridges
on the belt with the teeth on the small gear wheel. Rotate the large belt wheel
and push the drive belt down onto the small gear wheel as it rotates. The wheel
can be difficult to rotate until the drive belt is fed onto the small gear wheel. Keep
rotating the wheel and feed the drive belt onto the small gear wheel until it sits
flush with the edge of the wheels.
4. Refit cover and tighten screws. Repair for a quick and low cost replacement.
Always replace both carbon brushes at the same time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused
by the repair of the sander by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the
sander.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents. This is normal
and does not indicate a problem.
Excessive sparking visible through the housing air vents
and/or the sander failing to operate
May indicate the carbon brushes have worn out and need to be
replaced. Carbon brushes should only be replaced by a qualified
electrician or power tool repairer.
Sandpaper Selection
Selecting the correct grit of sandpaper is an important step in achieving optimum
results. Coarse grit will remove the most material. Finer grit will produce a smoother
finish. The condition of the workpiece will determine the grit of the sandpaper to be
used. The higher the grit number, the finer the grade of sandpaper.
If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform.
Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit. Finer
grit is then used to finish the surface. Always continue sanding with each grade of
sandpaper until the surface is uniform.

Note
: If intermediate sanding is required, choose a grit rating between coarse and
fine. The above table is intended as a guide only. To ensure a satisfactory result,
a small, inconspicuous area should first be tested to ensure the grit of sandpaper
chosen is suitable for the desired finish.
