Unpacking Your Tool

any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before
attempting to use this tool
Before Use
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply
before attaching or changing any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Fitting a sanding belt
1. Place the sander upside down on a workbench or a similar secure, flat
surface
2. Pull out the Belt Release Lever (11). This retracts the Front Roller (9)
and slackens the sanding belt. The worn belt can now be removed
3. Fit the new sanding belt, positioning it squarely over the rollers
4. Close the Belt Release Lever. The belt should now be taut and secure
5. Once fitted, it may be necessary to adjust the Belt Tracking Adjuster (6)
to ensure the belt runs true
6. Keep the sander inverted and connect it to the power supply
7. Hold the sander firmly by the Rear Handle (3) and depress the On/Off
Trigger (8). Observe any sideways motion of the belt
8. If needed, turn the Belt Tracking Adjuster clockwise to move the belt
left, or anti-clockwise to move the belt right until the belt runs true
9. Disconnect the sander from power supply
Fitting the Dust bag
• Push fit the Dust bag (13) on to the Dust Extraction Port (4)
• To maintain an efficient dust removal process, do not allow the dust bag
to become greater than two thirds full

Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and
hearing protection, as well as suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
Switching on and off
• To start the tool, squeeze the On/Off Trigger (8). To stop the tool, release
the trigger
• For extended continuous use, the On/Off Trigger can be locked in the
'on' position:
1. Squeeze the On/Off Trigger and depress the Lock On Button (2); the
machine will continue to run when the On/Off Trigger is released
2. To stop the machine, squeeze and release the On/Off Trigger
Sanding
• Before starting to sand, ensure the workpiece is adequately secured. Use
clamps as necessary, and always keep both hands on the machine
• To achieve a high quality finish efficiently, start with a coarse grade of
sanding belt, and work through to finer grades until the desired finish
is achieved
• Before connecting the machine to the power supply, check the On/Off
Trigger (8) is in the off position, and the sanding belt is properly fitted
1. Connect the sander to the power supply
2. Raise the sander off the work surface and switch on. Squeeze the On/Off
Trigger and allow the sander to reach its full operating speed
3. Keeping a secure hold of the machine, lower the sander onto the work
surface. To avoid unnecessary damage to the work surface, keep the
movement direction of the sanding belt parallel with the natural grain
of the wood
4. Move the sander slowly across the surface of the workpiece until the
desired amount of material has been removed
5. Always lift the sander away from the surface of the workpiece before
stopping the motor
6. Ensure the motor has come to a complete stop before placing the
machine down
7. Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before leaving
it unattended
Bench-mounted use
• The sander can be inverted for bench-mounted use when combined with
the Inversion Adaptor (15) and Inversion Clamps (14)
1. Place the sander on a secure flat surface, such as a workbench
2. Centre the Inversion Adaptor on the Front Handle (1), and turn the sander
upside down so it is resting on the Inversion Adaptor
3. Clamp the sander to the work surface by locating the Inversion Clamps
in the fastening holes of the sander, whilst positioning the plastic grips
beneath the table surface
4. Fasten the wing nuts on the Inversion Clamps to fix the sander securely
to the surface
Emptying the dust bag
WARNING: Always switch off and disconnect from the power supply before
detaching the dust extraction system.
1. Remove the Dust Bag (13) by gripping the neck and pulling the bag away
from the Dust Extraction Port (4)
2. Open the bag, empty and refit (see 'Connecting the dust extraction
system')
Note: If the sanding dust contains harmful substances, such as particles
from old paint, varnish, surface coatings etc, always dispose of according to
laws and regulations.
WARNING: For optimum dust removal, empty the dust bag when it is no
more than two-thirds full.
