of the belt is pointing in the same direction as the arrow on the side of the

sander

4. Turn the Belt Tension Lever (12) to increase the tension on the belt

5. Plug the sander into a power point and, maintaining a ﬁrm grip on the

sander, squeeze the On/OffTrigger (9) and allow the belt to rotate for a

short period

SWITCHING ON AND OFF

Note: The power ON neon will illuminate when power is available.

1. Squeeze the On/Off Trigger Switch (9) to start the sander

2. Squeeze the On/Off Trigger Switch and press the Lock-On Button (3), to

‘lock’ the sander on

3. Squeeze the On/Off Trigger Switch again and release to switch the sander

material that requires sanding

• To adjust the speed, move the Variable

Speed Control Knob (14) until the correct

speed is attained

SANDING

WARNING: Always wear eye protection, an

adequate dust mask, hearing protection and

suitable gloves, when working with this tool.

Note: Always use clamps to secure your

workpiece to the workbench wherever possible.

WARNING: Do not use this sander for sanding

magnesium.

Note: Always ensure the belt is in good

condition.

Before Use / Operation

6. Whilst the belt is running, adjust the Tracking Adjustment Knob (6) to

align the belt to the centre of the Drive Roller (13). Repeat until the belt is

correctly aligned (only slight rotation of the knob is required to track the

belt), then squeeze the trigger for a few seconds to allow the belt to adjust.

Run the sander for a minute or so to ensure

correct alignment is achieved before using

the sander on a workpiece

WARNING: Do not continue to use the sander if

the sanding belt is worn or damaged.

WARNING: Do not use the same sanding belt

for wood and metal. Metal particles become

embedded in the belt and will scour a wooden

surface.

ADJUSTING THE FRONT HANDLE

1. Pull down the Handle Lock (7) then push or pull the handle into the desired

position

2. Push the handle lock back into the lock position

OPERATION

1. Connect the tool to the power supply

2. Squeeze the On/Off Trigger Switch (9) and allow the belt to reach the

desired speed before lowering the belt on to the surface of the workpiece

3. Press the Lock-On Button (3) if you require continuous operation

4. Lower the unit onto the surface of the workpiece and apply slight pressure

5. Sand in the direction of the grain, in parallel, overlapping strokes

6. To remove paint or smooth very rough wood, sand across the grain at 45°

in two directions, and then ﬁnish in the direction of the grain

7. Lift the sander off the workpiece before switching off the power

8. Remember to keep hands away from the moving belt, as it will continue to

run for a short time after the machine is switched off

Note: For optimum dust removal, empty the dust bag when it is no more than

half full.

WARNING: Do not use the dust bag when sanding metal. The hot metal

particles could cause residual wood dust or the bag itself to catch ﬁre. A

vacuum cleaner adaptor can be used to connect a household vacuum cleaner

or workshop dust extraction system to the sander. The adaptor ﬁts into the dust

extraction port (2).

EMPTYING THE DUST BAG (IF FITTED)

WARNING: Always switch off and disconnect from the power supply before

detaching the dust extraction system.

1. To remove dust bag, rotate outwards to disengage the bayonet, then pull

off

2. Open the bag, empty and reﬁt (see ‘Connecting the dust extraction system’)

Note: If the sanding dust contains harmful

substances, such as particles from old paint,

varnish, surface coatings etc, always dispose of

according to laws and regulations.

WARNING: For optimum dust removal, empty

the dust bag when it is no more than half full.

Note: Always clean the tool THOROUGHLY when

switching from sanding wood to sanding metal

and vice versa.
