7 OPERATION
7.1 Choice of the sand-paper
Coarse sandpaper (grain 50) removes in general the bigger part of the material and fine sand-
paper is used for the finishing. If the surface is not even, then start with rough sandpaper.
Further you use middle coarse sandpaper(grain 80) to remove the scratches left behind by the
coarse sand-paper and finally you take fine sandpaper (grain 120) for the finishing.
7.2 Removing and installing the sanding belt
Before assembly the sanding belt always remove the plug from the mains.
 Put the machine on its side, with the drive belt cover (10. Fig. A) down wards.
 Loosen the sanding belt fastener (7, Fig A).
 Remove the sanding belt from the machine.
 Put a new sanding belt on the machine, make sure that the direction arrows on the
sanding belt are pointing in the same direction as the direction indicator (9. Fig. A).
 Fasten the sanding belt fastener again (7. Fig. A).
7.3 Aligning the sanding belt
If the sanding belt doesn't run parallel with the outer edge of the housing, the sanding belt
must be aligned. Move the sanding belt in the correct position with the adjusting knob (6. Fig.
A). By turning the adjusting knob clockwise the sanding belt will move to the inside and by
turning anti-clockwise the sanding belt will move to the outside.
7.4 Switching on and off
 To switch the machine on press the on/off switch (I. Fig. A).
 To switch the machine off release the on/off switch (I. Fig.A).
It continuous operation is required the blocking switch (4 fig. A) must be used:
 Switch the machine on to press the on/off switch.
 Press the blocking switch (4. Fig. A) and release the on/off switch.
 To switch the machine off press the on/off switch again and release the on/off switch.
7.5 Mounting dust bag
Use the dust bag to collect dust which is released during sanding.
 Put the dust bag on the dust collection opening (5. Fig. A).
 Empty the dust bag regularly in order to obtain an efficient dust extraction.
7.6 Grip
The use of the belt sander is made easier because of the two grips one on the front side and
one on the back. Through that you can hold the machine with two hand*, you have a better
control of the machine and there is less risk to becoming in touch with the moving parts. Hold
the belt sander always with both hands.
7.7 Operating instructions
Make sure that the machine has reached its full speed before placing the machine on the work
piece. This will prevent an overload of the machine. For sanding wood, place the machine
approximately 15° out of the grains of the wood. Move the belt sander continuous over the
work piece.
