Before Use
Changing the sanding belt
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power
point before fitting or removing sanding belts.

Palm Belt Sander.
1. Ensure the sander is disconnected from the power supply
2. Lift the Belt Tension Release Lever (6) to release tension on the belt
3. Choose a new belt according to intended task, eg; low grit rating produces faster stock
removal, high grit rating for smoother finish
4. Check that the replacement belt has a good join and is not frayed at the edges
5. Position the new belt over the rollers, with the rotation arrows on the inside of the belt pointing
in the same direction as the Belt Direction Indicator (7) on the sander.
6. Push the Belt Tension Release Lever (6) down to tension the belt
7. Hold the sander upside down and plug into the mains
8. With the belt running, use the Micro Adjustment Knob (3) to align the belt to the centre of the
plate
Dust extraction
• It is recommended that the sander is connected to a vacuum cleaner or dust extractor, using
the dust extraction port. This will significantly reduce the dust in the air around the work area
• If vacuum dust extraction is not available in your work area, a dust bag can be fitted to the
dust extraction port using the included dust bag adaptor (Image A)
• A suitable breathing mask should be worn when operating this machine. All wood and paint
dust is hazardous to health and may also be toxic.
Operation
Switching on and off
• Always hold the sander securely by the Main Handle (2)
• Ensure the sander is not in contact with the surface when the machine is switched on
• To switch the sander on, press the 'I' switch. To switch the sander off, press the '0' switch
Sanding
WARNING: Do not apply too much pressure on the palm belt sander. Pushing down too hard may
cause damage or reduce the life of the product.
WARNING: Keep hands away from the belt, as it will continue to move for a short time after the
machine is switched off.
GB
• Apply light pressure when the sander is brought into contact with the workpiece

and then finish parallel with the grain (Image B)
