OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for dry sanding–with high
removal capacity–of wood, plastic, metal, filler as
well as varnished surfaces. The sander is not to be
used for plastering.
1. ON/OFF SWITCH
Depress to start and release to stop your tool.
2. SWITCH LOCK-ON BUTTON (See Fig. A)
Depress on/off switch (2) then lock on button (3). Your
tool is now locked on for continuous use. To switch off
your tool just depress and release the on/off switch.
3. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL DIAL
Adjust the variable speed control (1) to increase or
decrease the speed according to the material and
sanding belt specification to be used (also possible
during no load operation). See the table below
for general guidance on speed selection. Avoid
prolonged use at very low speed as this may damage
your sander's motor.

4. CHANGING A SANDING BELT (See Fig. B, C)
WARNING! Remove the main plug
from the socket before changing sanding
belt.
Pull the lever (7) to release the belt tension.
Remove and fit a new belt over both rollers.
Ensure the direction of rotation arrows on the
belt and the sander are the same. Close the
lever to tension the belt.
5. BELT CENTERING CONTROL (See Fig. D)
WARNING! Wear eye protection
before carrying out a belt centering
adjustment.
Turn the machine upside down, hold it firmly
with one hand, start the motor and release the
switch immediately after observing tracking
of sanding belt. If abrasive belt runs outward,
turn tracking adjustment knob counter-
clockwise and clockwise if belt runs inward.
Adjust the belt until the outer edge of the belt is

even with the outer edge of the base-plate (12). Belt
life will be greatly increased by keeping the tracking
adjustment set properly.
6. DUST BAG (See Fig. E)
You must use the dust collection bag provided to
collect the dust produced during sanding.
To attach, insert the dust collection bag into the dust
extraction outlet. Make sure the dots of the outlet
are locked in the slot of the dust bag. When the dust
collection bag is full, remove and empty by opening
the zip on the dust bag (5).
7. ASSEMBLE THE DUST EXTRACTION
ADAPTER (See Fig. F,G)
Your sander is equipped with a dust extraction
adapter, which is designed for letting you attach
a wet/dry vac for collecting dust better. Insert the
suitable size adapter into the outlet until it is secured.
Insert the 35mm adapter (13a) into the outlet until it is
secured (See F), then insert the 32 mm adapter (13b)
into the back of the 35 mm adapter (Fig. G).
8. DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT.
WARNING! Remove the main plug
from the socket before carrying out a
drive belt replacement.
Remove the three screws and the belt cover. Carefully
cut the drive belt if not already broken and remove
from your belt sander. Fit your new drive belt around
80
the large pulley. Then install onto the small pulley by
rotating clockwise and pushing the drive belt shown
150
around the small pulley at the same time. The drive
belt will be a tight fit. Fit the belt cover and two
screws.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
BELT SANDER
100
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially
100
when used at low speed, set the speed to maximum
and run with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the
motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speed.
Always use a sanding belt suited to the material you
wish to sand. Always ensure the work-piece is firmly
held or clamped to prevent movement. Support large
panels close to the sanding area. Any movement of
the material may affect the quality of the sanding
finish. Start your sander before sanding and turn
off only after stopping sanding. For best results
sand wood in the direction of the grain. Do not
start sanding without the sanding belt fitted. Empty
the dust bag every 5 minutes or sooner to ensure
efficient dust collection.
MAINTAINANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
