OPERATION
CAUTION:
Never cover the air vents. They must always be open for proper motor cooling. Make
sure that the work piece is free of nails and other foreign objects that could tear the abrasive belt.

CAUTION:
If the sander makes an unfamiliar sound or vibrates excessively, switch it off immediately
and disconnect from the power supply. Check your tool for any damages or misalignments. Contact
our customer service at (800) 232-1195, M-F 8-5 CST or email [email protected] for
assistance.
OPERATING THE BELT SANDER
1.
Hold the machine firmly with both hands in a balanced position.
2. Press ON/OFF switch and allow the motor to reach full speed. For continuous operation, press in the
power lock-on button (Fig. 5) located on the side of the handle. (See above section “Power Lock-On”)
3. Hold the machine parallel to the work piece. Gently bring belt into contact with the surface.
CAUTION!
The sander may initially lunge forward. Resist the forward motion and keep the belt sander
moving at an even pace.
4. Never exert excessive pressure on the tool. The weight of the tool applies adequate pressure.
Excessive pressure prevents proper sanding, leaving an uneven finish and excess wear to both the
tool and the sanding belt.
5. At the end of the sanding lift the belt sander off the workpiece before turning off the switch. Wait until
the belt has stopped rotating before setting down the tool on its side.
POWER LOCK-ON
(See Figure 5 for these features)
1. For instantaneous operation, simply press and hold
the ON/OFF switch. To stop instantaneous operation,
release the ON/OFF switch.
2. For continuous operation, press down the ON/OFF
switch and push in the lock-on button. This will keep
the belt sander running without holding down the ON/
OFF button.
3. To stop continuous operation, press and release the
ON/OFF switch.
SELECTING BELT SPEED
(See Figure 5 for these features)
1. Use the belt speed adjustment wheel to change the speed of the belt. This can be done while the
sander is running.
2. To choose the ideal speed for your particular sanding job, refer to Table 1 (Page 11) for our
recommended settings.
