SANDING PROCEDURE

With the sander switched on, bring it into contact with the workpiece and move it forward carefully.

Continue sanding using overlapping strokes parallel to the belt track. Always work in the direction of

the grain to avoid undesirable transverse sanding marks.

VACUUM EXTRACTION OF DUST

Wear a dust mask! Vacuum extraction of dust makes disposal easier, prevents the build up of

stubborn dust deposits and keeps dust out of the air you are breathing. It will also prevent sanding

debris from getting on to the workpiece surface and leaving grease or burn marks.

Pull the dust collection bag

 over the supplied adapter and attach it to the dust extraction spout .

The stirrup-shaped adapter ensures that the dust collection bag is fully opened out to accept the

sanding dust (see Fig.

). Empty the dust collection bag regularly.

You can also attach a domestic vacuum cleaner to the dust extraction spout

 (see Fig. ). Do not

use the domestic vacuum cylinder to extract an explosive mixture of dust and air

If there is an explosive mixture of dust and air you must use a vacuum device especially intended for

that purpose.

ATTENTION - DANGER OF FIRE: Do not use vacuum dust extraction (dust bag or vacuum cleaner)

when sanding metals (flying sparks).

NOTE

• Always move the belt sander over the workpiece surface with both hands using even movements.

• The auxiliary handle

 can be adjusted or removed to allow you to sand those difficult-to-reach

places.

SELECTING BELT SPEED AND SANDING SHEET

You can select the belt speed using the belt speed selector wheel , even whilst the sander is

running. The optimum belt speed depends on the workpiece and the workpiece material. Always

confirm the best speed by carrying out a small test. The following table lists some recommended

values to help you determine the optimum speed.

Material / type of work Coarse sanding (grit) Fine sanding (grit) Speed

Softwood 060 240 high (5-6)

Hardwood 060 180 high (5-6)

Plywood 060 150 high (5-6)

Removing paint/varnish 060 –– high (5-6)
