Q
Selecting the correct rotational
speed and sanding belt
You can select the belt speed using the belt speed
adjuster wheel

even whilst the sander is running.
The optimum belt speed depends on the workpiece
and the workpiece material. Always confirm the
best speed by carrying out a small test. The follow-
ing table lists some recommended values to help
you determine the optimum speed.

Q
Using the sander in a fixed
mounting
The fixed mounting kit allows you to use the device
for sanding vertically or horizontally by fastening
it on to a flat stable surface (e.g. workbench).
Sanding horizontally (see Fig. E):
