General power tool safety warnings / Initial use
Always switch on the device before placing it
against the workpiece. After sanding, lift the de-
vice from the workpiece before switching it off.
When working always hold the device securely
with both hands. Always keep proper footing
and balance.
Switch the device off and allow it to come to
a complete standstill before you put it down.
When taking a break from your work, before
carrying out any tasks on the device itself (e.g.
changing the sanding belt) and when you are
not using the device, always pull the mains
plug out of the mains socket.
Initial use
Clamping / changing the
abrasive belt (s. fig. A+B+C)
RISK OF INJURy!
Always unplug from the mains before working on
the belt sander.
1. Loosen the adjusting screw
6
.
2. Pull the slider
4
back in the direction of the
arrow (see Fig. A) until it locks into place. Alter-
natively you can push the front belt pulley
5
in the direction of the arrow until the slider locks
into place (see Fig. B). The abrasive belt
11
can
now be removed (see Fig. C).
3. Now install a new abrasive belt
11
or change it
to work on different materials or switch grit sizes.
IMPORTANT:
The directions of the arrow
on the abrasive belt
11
and the device
must match.
4. Slightly push in the slider
4
to release it. The
fork will return to its original position.
5. You may need to readjust the belt pulley
5
.
Use the adjusting screw
6
to do so.
Manually adjusting the abrasive belt:
If the path of the belt does not straighten after switch-
ing on, it may need to be adjusted manually.
To do so, turn the adjusting screw
6
until the
abrasive belt
11
is centred.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure the abrasive belt
11
does not grind into the housing. Regularly check
the path of the belt and adjust with the adjusting
screw
6
if necessary.
Working instructions
little grinding pressure will suffice:
Use little grinding pressure. The belt sander‘s actual
weight will suffice for good sanding results. This
method will further reduce abrasive belt wear and
the surface of the work piece will be smoother.
Stripping and surface:
The stripping performance and the quality of the
surface are determined by the grit size of the abra-
sive belt.
Sanding:
Place the switched on tool on the work piece and
use a moderate forward speed. Sand in parallel,
overlapping paths (s. fig. F). To avoid bothersome
transverse tracks, only sand with the grain. When
the task is complete, lift the appliance from the
work-piece and only then switch it off.
Dust extraction
EXPlOSION HAZARD!
A special dust extractor must be used for explosive
dust / air mixtures.
FIRE HAZARD DUE TO SPARKING!
Do not
use dust extraction when working on metal.
FIRE HAZARD !
Fire hazard
when using power tools with dust collection bin or
connected to a vacuum via dust extraction! Unfa-
vourable conditions, e.g. sparking - when grinding
metal or metal pieces in wood - can ignite wood dust
in the dust collection bin (or inside the vacuum bag).
This can particularly occur if the wood dust comes
is mixed with paint particles or other chemicals and
the ground product is hot after long work periods.
Therefore be sure to avoid the ground materials and
the device from overheating. Always empty the dust
collection bin or the vacuum bag before taking breaks.
