MAINTENANCE
Clean the Belt Sander after use and change the sanding belt when worn or damaged.
A competent person must disassemble and inspect higher wear parts periodically if the tool is used every
day or if there is a noticeable drop in the tool performance. Any damaged or worn parts must be replaced.
Your 12 month warranty could become void if the tool is unnecessarily dismantled and damage is caused.
If you are unsure about dismantling the tool, please return it to your local Kobe agent.
Replace as necessary all "O" rings, bearings and rotor blades (See Spare Parts Breakdown). It is
recommended that adequate stocks of standard service parts are held for servicing requirements.
The use of other than genuine Kobe replacement parts may result in safety hazards, decreased tool
performance, increased maintenance and voiding of warranty.
Mineral spirits are recommended when cleaning the tool and its parts. Do not clean with any solvents or
oils containing acids, esters, ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons or nitro carbons. Do not use chemicals
that have a low flash point.
For spare parts or servicing please contact your local Kobe agent. Remember to quote tool model number
and spare part number when ordering spares.
When disposing of components, lubricants, etc. ensure that relevant environmental procedures are carried
out.
TO CHANGE THE ABRASIVE
BELT
1.
Disconnect the Mini Belt
Sander from the air supply.
2.
Remove the drive wheel cover
(See fig. 3).
3.
Pull back on the tension arm
assembly (See fig. 4).
4.
Make sure the arrow on the
abrasive belt is facing in the
same direction as the direction
the drive wheel turns, as
indicated by the arrow on the
outer casing (See fig. 5).
5.
Place the abrasive belt around
the drive wheel first and then
onto the idle pulley.
6.
Release the tension slightly
and make sure the abrasive
belt is positioned centrally on
both the drive wheel and the
idle pulley (See fig. 6).
7.
Release the tension arm fully.
8.
Replace the drive wheel cover
and only finger-tighten the
thumb screw.
TO CHANGE THE CONTACT
ARM
1.
Disconnect the Mini Belt
Sander from the air supply.
2.
Remove the abrasive belt as
described above.
3.
Fully undo the knob on the tension arm (See fig. 7) to remove the
contact arm.
4.
To attach a new contact arm, present it up to the tension arm at a
slight angle with the lip on the tension arm facing towards the
tension arm (See fig. 8).
ADJUSTING THE ANGLE OF THE ARM
1.
Disconnect the Mini Belt Sander from the air supply.
2.
Loosen but do not remove the screw between the main body and
sanding arm (See fig. 9) using the Hex key which is provided.
3.
Rotate the sanding arm to the desired angle.
4.
Tighten the screw making sure that the sanding arm is flush
against the main body.
OPERATION
1.
Carry out daily inspection and lubrication of the tool.
2.
Remove the plastic dust cap using a pair of pliers (See fig. 10).
3.
Connect the Mini Belt Sander to the the air supply using a whip
hose.
4.
Hold the Mini Belt Sander firmly with both hands.
The Mini Belt
Sander should not be in contact with the workpiece when

Fig. 4
Fig. 9
you turn the tool on or off.
5.
Use your thumb to move the
safety bar backwards before
squeezing the throttle lever
(See fig. 11). The amount the
throttle lever is pressed
down, will determine the
speed of the tool.
6.
Adjust the power regulator
on the underneath of the
Mini Belt Sander by turning
it in either direction
(See fig. 12).
7.
Always work off the return
side (underneath) of the
abrasive belt in the area
shown in figure 13. This will
ensure constant
tracking and reduce down
time of the tool.
ADJUSTING THE TRACKING
1.
With the tool running, rotate the thumb wheel on the contact arm slowly up or down (See fig. 14) until
the sanding belt rides evenly over the contact arm. The contact arm can move 5
°
in either direction.
Be careful not to unscrew the thumb wheel completely.
