DlN regulations.
The connection made by the customer as well as any exten-
sion cables used must comply with all relevant regulations.
Connection and repair work on the elctric equipment must
be carried out by a qualified technician only.
Important note
The motor rating is S 1. This means that when overloaded
it switches off automatically. After a cooling period (can
vary) you may switch it on again.
Maintenance
Warning:
When servicing use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
Warning:
To avoid serious personal injury make sure the
belt/disc sander is turned OFF and the cord is unplugged
from the power source before performing any maintenance
or adjustment.
General maintenance

Changing drive belt, Fig. 20.
• Using a phillips head screwdriver, remove the two screws
in the center of the pulley cover.
• Remove the cover.
• Raise sanding belt to the vertical sanding position (see
Figure 20).
• Next, loosen the hex head set screw. Raising the motor
pulley releases the belt tension.
• Remove the old drive belt.
• Fit the new drive belt on the drive pulley first and then
on the motor pulley.
• Test belt tension by squeezing the belt with your fingers.
• Adjust the belt tension with the hex head set screw until
there is about 1/4 in. (6 mm) of give.
• Tighten the belt tension nut securely.
Note:
Excessive tightness on the drive belt may cause in-
creased noise and overload the motor. Excessive looseness
on the drive belt may cause the drive belt to fail prema-
turely and make a severe chattering noise.
• Using a phillips head screwdriver, reinstall the pulley
cover and the two phillips head screws. Tighten securely.
