ASSEMBLY MOUNTING THE SANDER TO A WORKBENCH (Fig.3): The sander should be fastened securely to a firm supporting surface such as a workbench. If mounting to a workbench, place the sander in a suitable position and mark the surface through the holes in the base ✪✌. Remove the sander and drill the holes, align and insert the bolts and nut securely (fixings not supplied). INSTALLING THE SANDING DISC TABLE (Figs.4 & 5): Locate the table ✫✌, bracket ✬✌ and securing handle ✭✌.
ASSEMBLY INSTALLING THE BACK STOP (Fig.7): Fix the back stop ✰✌ in place on the back of the sanding belt assembly and adjust it with 1.5mm gap to allow sawdust to flow under. INSTALLING THE WORK SUPPORT TABLE (Figs.8 & 9): Bolt the support bracket ✱✌ to the sanding belt assembly. Assemble the table to the locking bracket ✲✌. Slide the assembled guide onto the support bracket and lock into place with the locking knob. Use the engineers square to adjust the guide so it is square with the sanding belt.
ASSEMBLY SAW DUST EXTRACTION (Fig.11): It is recommended that the sander is connected to a vacuum cleaner (for example Draper Stock No.64674) during operation, which will provide fast and efficient removal of saw dust. Fig.11 NOTE: Due to the large size outlet for the dust extraction, Stock No.29786 hose and 29791 adaptor are recommended. OPERATION AND USE NO-VOLT ON/OFF SWITCH (Fig.12): Note: The BDS368 is fitted with a no-volt on/off switch.
OPERATION AND USE STRAIGHT SANDING (Fig.13): Hold the work firmly with both hands, keeping fingers away from the belt. Straight pieces shorter than the belt table are sanded by holding the workpiece lightly against the belt. Move it back and forth across the belt, keeping the end butted against the stop fence. This fence prevents the workpieces from slipping off the table. USE EXTRA CAUTION WHEN SANDING THIN PIECES. When finishing long pieces, remove the stop fence.
CONTOUR SANDING (Fig.15): Inside contours: Inside curves can be sanded on the drums at either end of the machine. Hold the work firmly, press the contour lightly against the drum on one side and move the work slowly across the drum while moving up the contour against the drum. Outside contours: Outside curves can be sanded on the belt table of the unsupported side of the belt with the table in the vertical position. Hold the work firmly.
OPERATION AND USE REPLACING THE SANDING BELT AND TRACKING (Fig.17): WARNING - TO AVOID INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL STARTING, TURN THE POWER SWITCH “OFF” AND REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE REMOVING OR INSTALLING SANDING BELTS. On the inside of the sanding belt you will find “direction arrows”. The sanding belt must run in the direction of these arrows so that the splice does not come apart. 1. Loosen the bed locking screw ✴✌ and lift the bed to approx. 45º, Fig.17. 2.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH “OFF” AND REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE POWER SUPPLY OUTLET BEFORE ADJUSTING, MAINTAINING, OR LUBRICATING YOUR BELT AND DISC SANDER. Do not apply wax to the abrasive belt table because the belt could pick up the wax and d deposit it on the pulleys, causing the belt to slip. If power cable is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately. Keep machine clean and remove accumulations of dust.
