Attaching a sanding belt

WARNING. 

Switch off the sander and disconnect it from the 

power point.
1.   Pull the belt tension release lever (4) and slide off the  

old belt.

2.  Check that the replacement belt has a good join and is 

not frayed at the edges.

3.  Slip the new belt into position with the rotation arrow on 

the inside of the belt pointing in the same direction as the 

arrow on the sander.

Note.

 When doing this try to place the belt as central as 

possible on the front and rear rollers
4. Push the Belt Tension release lever (4) back into place to 

tension the belt onto the machine.

5.  Before use, the new belt must be checked and aligned 

for correct tracking on the rollers. Plug the sander into a 

power point and with the sander held tight, press the “I” 

switch (1) and allow the belt to rotate for a short period. 

6.  Whilst the belt is running, 

adjust the micro adjustment 

knob for belt tracking (3) to 

align the belt to the centre of 

the front roller (8).

7. Make fine adjustments only 

and wait a few seconds 

between each adjustment 

as there is a short delay in 

the response of the adjustment before it effects the belt 

tracking on the rollers.

8.  Repeat the micro adjustment knob for belt tracking until 

the belt is correctly aligned.

9.  Run the sander for a minute or so to ensure correct 

alignment before using the sander on a work piece.

WARNING.

 Do not continue to use the sander with a 

sanding belt that is overworn or damaged.

WARNING.

 Do not use a sanding belt designed for sanding 

wood on metal. Metal particles become embedded in the 

belt and will scour a wooden surface.

Selecting the right grade of sanding belt

Different grades of sanding belt 

can be purchased from your 

local hardware store. Typical 

grades are Coarse (40 grit), 

Medium (80 and 100 grit) and 

Fine (120 grit).
Use Coarse grade to remove 

rough finishes, Medium grade to 

smooth the work and Fine grade 

to finish it off. It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece 

of material to determine the optimum grades of belt for a 

particular job.
In order to take full advantage of your sander, always 

purchase good quality belts.
