Commissioning

Installing / Changing the Sanding Belt

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY Always unplug the device before performing any work on the belt sander.

1. Release the sanding belt tensioning mechanism by swinging the tension lever 9 fully outwards (see Fig. A). The tensioning mechanism is now open, and the sanding belt can be removed.
2. Now insert a new sanding belt or change it to process different material or change the grit. IMPORTANT: The direction arrows on the inside of the sanding belt and on the device housing must match.
3. Push the tension lever back into its original position.

Adjusting the Sanding Belt

Lift the device, switch it on, and turn it upside down. Now adjust the belt tracking. To do this, turn the adjustment screw 6 until the edge of the sanding belt is flush and parallel with the edge of the device (Fig. B). IMPORTANT: Make absolutely sure that the sanding belt does not grind against the housing. Regularly check the belt tracking and adjust it with the adjustment screw 6 if necessary.

Work Instructions

Low Sanding Pressure is Sufficient

Apply low sanding pressure. The weight of the belt sander itself is sufficient for good sanding performance. This working method also reduces wear on the sanding belt and results in a smoother workpiece surface.

Abrasion and Surface Finish

The rate of material removal and the surface finish are determined by the belt speed and the grit of the sanding belt (see also section "Selecting Speed and Sanding Belt").

Sanding Process

Place the device, switched on, onto the workpiece and work with moderate feed. Perform the sanding process parallel to and overlapping the sanding paths. To avoid disturbing, cross-running sanding marks, sand only in the direction of the grain. Lift the device from the workpiece after processing and switch it off only then.

NOTE: Always hold the device firmly with both hands during operation. ?

Dust Extraction

WARNING! EXPLOSION HAZARD! In case of an explosive dust/air mixture, use a specially designed vacuum cleaner. FIRE HAZARD DUE TO SPARKS! Do not use dust extraction (dust collection box 10 or vacuum cleaner) when sanding metal. Asbestos-containing material must not be processed. Asbestos is carcinogenic.

WARNING! FIRE HAZARD! When working with electrical devices that have a dust collection box or can be connected to a vacuum cleaner via a dust extraction system, there is a fire hazard! Under unfavorable conditions, such as sparks – when sanding metal or metal residues in wood – wood dust in the dust collection box (or vacuum cleaner bag) can self-ignite. This can happen especially if the wood dust is mixed with paint residues or other chemical substances and the sanded material becomes hot after prolonged work. Therefore, absolutely avoid overheating the sanded material and the device, and always empty the dust collection box or vacuum cleaner bag before work breaks. Ensure good ventilation of the workplace. Observe the valid regulations in your country for the materials to be processed. Wear a dust mask.

Dust Extraction with Dust Collection Box

(See Fig. C): Push the dust collection box 10 onto the dust extraction nozzle 5.

Removing the Dust Collection Box

Pull the dust collection box 10 off the device.

Dust Extraction Adapter (with Reducer Piece)

(See Fig. C): Slide the dust extraction adapter 11 onto the dust extraction nozzle 5. If necessary, use the reducer piece 12 by inserting it into the dust extraction adapter 11. Slide the hose of a permissible vacuum cleaner system (e.g., a workshop vacuum cleaner) onto the dust extraction adapter 11, possibly with the reducer piece 12.
