Assembly and adjustments
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit
off and remove the battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Three position handle
To adjust the three position handle (6), rotate the locking
position dial (12) counterclockwise to unlock the handle. Move
the three position handle to the desired position. Once the
handle is positioned, rotate the locking position dial clockwise
to lock the handle.
Adjusting the sanding belt tracking (Fig. D)
Warning! Keep hands, fingers and loose clothing away from
moving belt.
Hold the tool firmly with one hand, start motor and observe
tracking of sanding belt. Use your other hand to adjust the
belt tracking adjustment knob (7) to center the belt. If the belt
runs outward, turn the tracking adjustment knob clockwise
to make the belt run inward. If belt runs inward, turn the
tracking adjustment knob counterclockwise to make the belt
run outward.
Belt life will be greatly increased by keeping the tracking
adjustment set properly. To prevent the sanding belt from
rubbing against the sander housing, keep the edge of the belt
about 2.7 mm to 5.1 mm from the cover side of housing.
Changing the sanding belt (Fig. E, F)
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making
any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Warning! To reduce the risk of injury, make sure belt is
installed with arrows in proper direction of rotation. Failure
to do this could result in the belt unraveling creating a
hazardous condition.
Pull the quick release lever (4) shown in Figure E to release
the tension on the sanding belt. Pull the sanding belt (1) from
the two rollers. Put the new 75 mm x 457 mm sanding belt in
position on the front and rear rollers (Figure F). Ensure that
the arrows on the sanding belt and on your belt sander are
pointing in the same direction. Use one hand to hold the unit
and use the other hand to push the lever to the rear to tension
the sanding belt.
Dust extraction (Fig. G)
Warning! Risk of dust inhalation. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS wear an approved dust mask.
A dust exhaust port (8) is supplied with your tool.
The dust exhaust port allows you to connect the tool to an
external dust extractor, either using the AirLock™ system, or a
standard 32 mm dust extractor fitment.

(Original instructions)
Warning! ALWAYS use a vacuum extractor designed in com-
pliance with the applicable directives regarding dust emission
when sanding wood. Vacuum hoses of most common vacuum
cleaners will fit directly into the dust extraction outlet.
Fitting and removing the dustbag (Fig. H)
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
unit off and remove the battery pack before making any adjust-
ments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
Warning! Fire hazard. Collected sanding dust from sanding
surface coatings (polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can self-ignite
in sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce risk,
empty bag frequently and strictly follow sander manual and
coating manufacturer's instructions.
Warning! Fire hazard. When sanding wood that could contain
nails, or when sanding metal surfaces, do not use the dust
bag or a vacuum cleaner because sparks are generated. Wear
safety glasses and a dust mask. Due to the danger of fire, do
not use your belt sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not
use for wet sanding.
When using your belt sander, dust and grit are produced. It is
important to use a dust bag. Connect the dust bag (13) by slid-
ing the plastic opening of the bag down over the dust exhaust
port (8) of the sander. To empty the dust bag, remove it from
the sander and unzip the bag over a trash container.
