note:
To maintain efficient dust collection we
recommend that the dust collection bag be
emptied when approximately 60% full.
To empty the dust bag:
• Remove the bag from the machine by pulling it
away from the dust extraction port.
• Empty the bag by opening the zip on the dust bag.
note:
When emptying the dust collection bag
the operator should always wear a suitable dust
mask. Also the contents of the dust collection
bag should be disposed of in an environmentally
responsible way.
4. On/Off switch (fig. 6)
The ‘ON/OFF’ rocker switch is located at the
top front of the machine.
• Press ‘I’ to start.
• Press ‘0’ to stop.
WaRnInG:
Always ensure that the
machine is switched ‘off’ and the
belt is stationary before putting the machine
down onto a workbench or similar.
5. Hand Grip area
The top surface of the machine is coated with
a soft grip area for enhanced operator control
and comfort. This machine can be used one
handedly.
6. Grit selection
Sanding belts are available in a variety of
grades depending upon the coarseness
(particle size) of the grit embedded in the
cloth.

7. Using the machine
This is a compact but powerful machine and
should only be used by competent operators
who have read and understood the Instruction
Manual.
This mini sander is optimally suited for the
sanding of narrow workpieces, or for use in
confined areas where a full sized belt sander
would be difficult to manoeuvre.
some general guidance:
• Always wear a dust mask and safety
glasses, and any other safety equipment as
necessary.
• Select the sanding belt carefully for the job
in hand.
• Be aware that the belt sander will ‘travel’ along
the workpiece. Hold the machine firmly and guide
it along the workpiece in a straight line.
• Light downwards pressure is all that is
necessary to achieve best results. There is no
need to press the machine into the workpiece
with any great force.
• Two, three or more passes over the same
track will achieve better results than trying to
remove all of the waste material in one pass.
