Speed adjusting dial
The belt speed can be infinitely adjusted between 3.3 m
and 16.6 m per second by turning the speed adjusting
dial to a given number setting from 1 to 6.
Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the
direction of number 6, lower speed is obtained when it is
turned in the direction of number 1. Select the proper
speed for the workpiece to be sanded.
CAUTION:
The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far
•

Otherwise a poor sanding finish, damage to the
belt or loss of control of the tool may result.
When working with the tool, be very careful to
