CAUTION
● To extend the lifetime, the tool and the lithium-
ion battery are equipped with a protection
function to stop the output. Therefore, if the tool
is overloaded, the motor may stop. However, this
is not the trouble but the result of protection
function. In this case, release the switch of tool
and eliminate the causes of overloading.
Additionally, refer to "CAUTION ON LITHIUM-ION
BATTERY". If it still does not run, request repairs
from a metabo HPT authorized service center.
WARNING
Never apply water or grinding fl uid when
sanding. This could result in electrical shock.
1. How to adjust sanding position
Adjust sanding belt so that the edge protrudes 1/16"–
1/8" (1.6 mm–3 mm) past edges of pulleys.
lf sanding belt is operated too far on the inside, it
may cause abrasion and damage machine. Adjust
sanding belt position by turning adjust screw (Fig. 13)
○ Turn adjust screw clockwise to move belt in.
○ Turn adjust screw counterclockwise to move belt
out.
WARNING
● If the sanding belt is positioned too close to the
inside, it may come into contact with the guard,
producing sparks.
● Do not peer inside between the sanding belt
and housing. Doing so risks dust or other debris
entering your eyes.
NOTE
○ If sanding belt moves during operation, adjustment
can be made while in operation.
○ Setting the dial to low speed (e.g., mode 1) makes it
easier to adjust.
○ If the sanding belt is positioned too close to the inside,
it may come into contact with the guard, causing the
belt to tear.

2. How to hold the belt sander
Grasp handle and handle knob and hold machine
against surface to be worked on so that it contacts
surface lightly.
Hold both handles fi rmly, and take great care to keep
your fi ngers away from the pulleys and sanding belt
while working.
Weight of machine itself is suffi cient for sanding and
polishing at highest effi ciency.
Do not apply any additional pressure, for this would
place unnecessary load on motor, shorten life of
sanding belt and lower work effi ciency. (Fig. 14)
3. How to move the belt sander
Move machine forward fi rst and then backward,
repeating this motion. (Fig. 14)
