Tensioning / changing
Q
the sanding belt
you carry out any work on the belt sander always
pull the plug out of the mains socket.
1. Then release the tensioner for the sanding belt
by moving the tensioning lever
wards (see fig. A). The tensioner is now open
and the sanding belt can be removed.
2. Next insert a new sanding belt or change the
belt for one suitable for a different material or
one with a different grit size.
IMPORTANT: The direction of the arrows on
the inside of the sanding belt must agree with
that on sander housing.
3. Press the tensioning lever
initial position.
Adjusting the sanding belt:
Pick up the device, switch it on and turn it over.
Adjust the belt tracking by turning the adjuster

flush with and runs parallel to the edge of the
device (Fig. B.).
IMPORTANT: Always make sure that the
sanding belt does not cut into the housing.
Check the sanding belt regularly and if neces-
sary re-adjust it using the adjuster screw

Advice on use

Q
Light sanding pressure is enough:
Apply light sanding pressure only. The weight
of the belt sander alone is adequate to pro-
duce good sanding results. By adopting this
approach you will also prolong the life of your
sanding belts and obtain a smoother work-
piece surface.
Sanding and surfaces:
The sanding output and the quality of the surface
finish obtained are determined by the belt speed
and the grade of grit on the sanding belt (see the

Sanding procedure:
With the sander switched on, bring it into con-
tact with the workpiece and move it forward
carefully. Work in parallel and overlapping
widths. Always work in the direction of the grain
to avoid undesirable transverse sanding marks.
After sanding always lift the device from the
workpiece before switching it off.

Vacuum dust extraction

Q
the danger of fire when working with electrical de-
vices that have a dustbox or can be connected to a
vacuum cleaner. Under certain conditions the
wood dust in the dust collection box (or in the vacu-
um's dust bag) may self-ignite, e.g. as a result of
flying sparks generated when abrading metals or
metal objects left in wood. This can happen partic-
ularly if the wood dust is mixed with paint residue
or other chemicals and the abraded particles are
hot from prolonged abrasion. Therefore you must
empty the device's dust collection box and the vac-
uum cleaner's dust bag before taking a break or
stopping work and always avoid overheating of the
abraded particles and the device.
