Operation

Sanding Belt Installation

1. Place the belt sander on its left side on a flat surface.
2. Pull the belt tension lever out, toward the front of the sander.
3. Gently place the belt over the front and rear rollers. CAUTION: The arrows on the belt must be aligned with the markings on the belt sander. Incorrect fitment could cause the belt to break. Belts are not covered by the warranty.
4. Close the belt tension lever.

To remove a sanding belt, follow the above procedure and remove the belt in step 3 instead of placing it.

Belt Adjustment

Tracking Adjustment

CAUTION: Ensure body parts, cords, workpieces, and loose items are clear of the sanding belt before performing tracking adjustments.

It is necessary to ensure the belt tracks correctly in a straight line to avoid it coming off the rollers.

1. Turn the sander upside down and hold it firmly. Press the on/off switch to start the sander and observe the belt's tracking.
2. If the belt tracks outward, turn the belt tracking knob clockwise. If the belt tracks inward, turn the belt tracking knob counter-clockwise.
3. Adjust the belt until its outer edge is even with the outer edge of the front and rear rollers. Ensure the belt does not rub against the rear guide strip. Once the belt stabilizes, you can begin operation.

Controls

WARNING: The power supply for this product should be protected by a residual current device (rated at 30mA or less).

1. Connect the tool to the mains power supply.
2. To turn the sander on, squeeze the on/off trigger.
3. To turn off, release the on/off trigger.

Lock-on Button

The lock-on button allows the belt sander to operate without continuous trigger pressure.

1. Squeeze the on/off trigger, then press the lock-on button.
2. Release the on/off trigger and then the lock-on button.
3. To unlock, squeeze and release the on/off trigger.

Variable Speed Dial

Rotate the dial clockwise to select a higher speed or counter-clockwise to lower the speed. Align the number with the marker on the tool housing.

Sanding

1. Secure the material to be sanded.
2. Firmly grasp the sander. Gently place the rear heel of the sander on your workpiece, keeping the sanding belt off the work surface.
3. Turn the sander on.
4. Wait for the belt to reach maximum speed, then gradually lower it onto the workpiece. CAUTION: GUIDE THE CORD DURING SANDING TO PREVENT IT BEING CAUGHT ON THE WORKPIECE, OR OTHER OBJECTS.
5. Use a back and forth motion. Do not apply pressure on the sander; allow the sander to do the work.

Maintenance

• Keep ventilation vents clean. Prevent foreign matter from entering.
• After each use, blow air through the housing to remove dust particles that may cause overheating.
• Clean the enclosure with a moist soft cloth only. Do not use solvents. Never let liquid enter the sander or immerse any part in liquid.

Carbon Brushes

When carbon brushes wear out, the sander may spark or stop. Discontinue use and replace them before recommencing. Carbon brushes are a wearing component and not covered under warranty. Continued use after wear may cause permanent damage. Replace worn carbon brushes with new ones at an authorised repairer. Always replace both carbon brushes simultaneously.

Note: Ozito Industries is not responsible for damage or injuries caused by repairs performed by unauthorised persons or by mishandling.

Drive Belt Replacement

If the motor operates but the belt does not rotate:

1. Remove the 4 screws from the belt cover. Check if the drive belt is damaged or broken. Replace if necessary.
2. Cut the old drive belt with scissors. Note: Do not pry the belt off the pulley to avoid damaging the housing.
3. Fit the new drive belt around the large belt wheel. Align the belt's ridges with the small gear wheel's teeth.
4. Rotate the large belt wheel and push the drive belt onto the small gear wheel as it rotates. Continue until the belt sits flush with the edge of the wheels.
5. Refit the cover and tighten screws.

Troubleshooting

Sparking visible through housing air vents

A small amount of sparking is normal and does not indicate a problem.

Excessive sparking or sander failing to operate

This may indicate worn carbon brushes that need replacement. Replacement should be done by a qualified electrician or power tool repairer.

Sandpaper Selection

Selecting the correct grit is crucial for optimal results. Coarse grit removes more material; finer grit provides a smoother finish. The workpiece condition determines the grit. Higher grit numbers mean finer sandpaper.

For rough surfaces, start with coarse grit until the surface is uniform. Use medium grit to remove scratches, then fine grit for finishing. Always sand with each grade until the surface is uniform.

Note: For intermediate sanding, choose a grit between coarse and fine. The table is a guide; test on an inconspicuous area first. If intermediate sanding is required, choose a grit rating between coarse and fine. The above table is intended as a guide only. To ensure a satisfactory result, a small, inconspicuous area should first be tested to ensure the grit of sandpaper chosen is suitable for the desired finish.

Caring for the Environment

Dispose of unusable power tools in an environmentally friendly way. Recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local council for recycling advice. Recycling packaging reduces the need for landfill and raw materials, and decreases pollution.

Electrical Safety

WARNING! Basic safety precautions must be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.

• Read the entire manual and understand how to switch off the tool in an emergency.
• Save these instructions.
• The electric motor is designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check the power supply matches the rating plate voltage.
• This tool is double insulated (AS/NZS 60745-1), so no earth wire is required.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord from the service organization.
• Double insulation provides added protection but does not replace normal safety precautions.
• Use an approved extension lead suitable for the tool's power input. Inspect extension leads for damage before use. Unwind leads completely from reels.
• Use a residual current device (RCD) rated at 30mA or less to reduce the risk of electric shock.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings - Personal Safety

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to comply may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

• Work area safety: Keep the work area clean and well lit. Do not operate in explosive atmospheres. Keep children and bystanders away.
• Electrical safety: Match power tool plugs to outlets. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed tools. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces. Do not expose tools to rain or wet conditions. Do not abuse the cord; keep it away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Use outdoor-suitable extension cords in damp locations and use an RCD-protected supply.
• Personal safety: Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense. Do not use while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. Wear eye protection. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. Do not overreach; maintain proper footing and balance. Dress properly; avoid loose clothing, jewellery, or long hair. Ensure dust extraction facilities are connected and used.
• Power tool use and care: Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application. Do not use if the switch is faulty. Disconnect from power before making adjustments or changing accessories. Store idle tools out of reach of children. Maintain tools; check for misalignment or binding. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Use tools, accessories, and bits according to instructions and working conditions.
• Service: Have tools serviced by a qualified repair person using identical replacement parts.

Belt Sander Safety Warnings

WARNING!

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, as the belt may contact its own cord, potentially energizing exposed metal parts and causing electric shock.
• It is recommended that the tool is supplied via a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
• The extension lead should be a maximum of 25m in length. Do not use multiple extension leads.
• Unplug the sander before changing accessories to prevent accidental startups.
• Exercise extreme caution when disposing of dust, as fine particles may be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire. Spontaneous combustion may occur from a mixture of oil or water with dust particles.
• Always wear eye protection and a dust mask for dusty applications and when sanding overhead. Sanding particles can cause eye irritation and respiratory issues.
• Use special precautions when sanding chemically pressure-treated timber, lead-based paint, or other potentially carcinogenic materials. Wear a suitable breathing respirator and protective clothing. Seal the work area with plastic sheeting and ensure it is thoroughly cleaned before re-entry.
• Do not 'wet sand' with this sander, as liquids entering the motor housing pose an electrical shock hazard.
• Keep fingers and clothing away from the belt, pulleys, and motor housing to prevent cuts or entanglement.
• Properly adjust the belt tracking to avoid it overhanging the housing, which can cause severe lacerations.
• Keep the cord to the side, away from the pulleys, to prevent it from being dragged into the belt housing and becoming entangled.

Dust Hazards: Dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm (e.g., lead, crystalline silica, arsenic, chromium). Reduce exposure by working in a well-ventilated area and using approved safety equipment, such as specially designed dust masks.
