9.3 Fitting the extraction system (Fig. 6)
• Mount the extraction nozzle (10) on the machine us-
ing the Phillips screws (d) and washers (e).
9.4 Fitting the rubber wheels (fig. 7)
• Mount the 4 rubber feet on the base plate.
Attention! If the machine shows a tendency to move
or tip over during operation, it must be fixed to the work
surface with four screws (not in the scope of delivery).
9.5 Use as a stationary machine
If your machine is to be used in a permanent location,
it is recommended you secure it to a workbench.
• To do this, mark the drill holes by placing the sanding
machine in the way it will be installed later and now
draw the position of the holes to be drilled on the
workbench.
• Drill holes through the workbench.
• Place the sanding machine above the holes and in-
sert suitable screws from the top through the holes
of the sanding machine and the workbench.
• Now tighten the sanding machine from below using
washers and suitable hexagon nuts.
9.6 Use as a mobile machine
If your sanding machine is to be used as a portable
tool, it is recommended you fasten it to a suitable
mounting plate which can easily be clamped to a work-
bench. The mounting plate should be at least 19 mm
thick and sufficiently larger than the sanding machine
to allow space for the clamps.
10. Start-up
m ATTENTION!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before commissioning!
10.1 Setting the sanding belt (Fig. 8)
• The belt has already been set at the factory.
• It must run in the centre of the rollers as specified.
• The belt can be adjusted by turning the adjustment
screw (9) to the left or right.
10.2 Adjusting the sanding belt table (Fig. 9)
In most cases, the table is used at 90° to the sanding belt.
The table has an adjustment crew so that the table is
exactly at 90° to the belt. To adjust, do the following:
• Release the table using the clamping lever (f) and lift
it as far back as possible.
• Lay one side at a 90° angle on the table and let the
other side rest on the belt.
• If the angle is not 90°, adjust screw (i) using the Allen
key (h) until the table is exactly at 90° to the belt.
• The table can be tilted forward.
• Release the clamp lever (f), tilt the table to the de-
sired angle and tighten the clamp lever again.
10.3 Adjusting the disc sanding table (Fig. 10)
• To ensure that the table is at 90° to the sanding
wheel, place a gauge on the table and against the
wheel.
• If adjustment is required, loosen the two clamping
screws (6) and change the position until the 90° is
reached.
• Then tighten the two clamping screws (6) again.
• The table can be tilted downwards up to 45°.
10.4 Sanding a convex surface on the sanding wheel
The sanding wheel must always be used to sand a con-
vex surface. The workpiece must be pushed from the
left side towards the centre of the wheel.
• Hold the workpiece firmly. Make sure that your fin-
gers do not touch the sanding belt.
• Do not apply excessive pressure to the workpiece
against the sanding wheel. Push the workpiece on
the left side so that you use the entire surface of the
sanding wheel consistently.
10.5 Sanding chamfers and edges (Fig. 11)
The worktable can be infinitely adjusted from 0° to 45°.
• To do this, loosen the two clamping screws (6)
• Set the worktable to the desired angle. Attention!
The worktable should never be more than 2 mm
from the sanding disc, even when tilted!
• Tighten the clamping screws again (6).
10.6 Sanding of front sides with the mitre gauge
(Fig. 12 + 13)
The supplied mitre gauge (12) makes precise sanding eas-
ier. We recommend its use when sanding (short) faces.
Note! Always move the workpiece from the left to the
centre of the sanding disc, never beyond!
Risk of injury due to workpiece being thrown away!
Surface sanding on the sanding belt
Hold the workpiece firmly. Watch your fingers! Danger
of injury!
Keep the workpiece pressed firmly on the table and
guiding it evenly over the sanding belt.
