GB
a. ALWAYS wear appropriate protective equipment, including a dust mask
with a minimum FFP2 rating, eye protection and ear defenders
b. Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also
equipped with suitable personal protective equipment
c. Take special care when sanding some woods (such as beech, oak, mahogany
and teak), as the dust produced is toxic and can cause extreme reactions
d. NEVER use to process any materials containing asbestos. Consult a qualified
professional, if you are uncertain whether an object contains asbestos
e. DO NOT sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage of magnesium
f. Be aware of paint finishes or treatments that may have been applied to
the material that is being sanded. Many treatments can create dust that
is toxic, or otherwise harmful. If working on a building constructed prior to
1960, there is an increased chance of encountering lead-based paints
g. The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly hazardous to
children, pregnant women, and people with high blood pressure. DO NOT allow these
people near to the work area, even if wearing appropriate personal protective equipment
h. Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust and waste
i. Be especially careful when using a machine for both wood and
metal sanding. Sparks from metal can easily ignite wood dust.
ALWAYS clean your machine thoroughly to reduce the risk of fire
j. Empty the dust bag or container (where applicable) frequently during use,
before taking breaks and after completion of sanding. Dust may be an explosion
hazard. DO NOT throw sanding dust into an open fire. Spontaneous combustion may
occur when oil or water particles come into contact with dust particles. Dispose of
waste materials carefully and in accordance with local laws and regulations.
k. Work surfaces and sandpaper can become very hot during use. If there is evidence
of burning (smoke or ash), from the work surface, stop and allow the material to
cool. DO NOT touch work surface or sandpaper until they have had time to cool
l. DO NOT touch the moving sandpaper
m. ALWAYS switch off before you put the sander down
n. DO NOT use for wet sanding. Liquids entering the motor
housing can cause severe electric shocks
o. ALWAYS unplug the sander from the mains power supply
before changing or replacing sandpaper
p. Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all
residual risk factors. If you are in any doubt as to safe use of this tool, do not use it

Intended Use

• Bench-mounted combined grinder and belt sander. Grinder is suitable for general
grinding of various metals. Sander suitable for a wide range of materials including metal,
wood and plastic. Sanding applications depend on fitted belt type and grit level. Not
suitable for grinding materials that may produce toxic particles or that may be highly
flammable or have other dangerous material properties. Not suitable for sanding with
liquids including water and oil. Not intended for commercial or industrial use.
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your new tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If 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.
Note: It is highly recommended it is only connected to a circuit
protected by a RCD or used with a plug-in RCD.
Note: This tool is earthed and must only be connected to mains with a earth
connection. Do not attempt to use it without an earth connection.
Assembling
Note: This machine must be securely mounted to a strong, stable workbench (fittings not supplied)
• Ensure all bolts are a good match for the bench-fitting holes of the tool. For metal workbenches
it is recommended a small piece of wood or other suitable vibration isolator is fitted between
the tool and the workbench to minimise vibration if the rubber feet become damaged or lost
Attaching the spark arrestor with eye shield
• The grinder should never be used without the supplied Spark Arrestor (21) and Eye
Shield (19). Attempting to use the grinder without these correctly fitted is highly
dangerous and could result in severe injury to yourself or others around you
• Ensure the Spark Arrestor is installed with the bottom edge about 1.5mm
from the wheel surface; never let it exceed 2mm (Fig. II). Ensure the supplied
spring washer is assembled with the Spark Arrestor so vibration will not cause
the fitting to loosen and allow the Spark Arrestor to contact the wheel
• Angle the Eye Shield (19) at the correct angle to maximise protection to your eyes in use.
Safety glasses must always be worn in addition to the protection offered by the Eye Shield
Attaching the tool rest
• The grinder should never be used without the supplied Tool Rest (16). Attempting to
use the grinder without the Tool Rest, or with the Tool Rest incorrectly fitted, is highly
dangerous and could result in severe injury to yourself or others around you
• Attach the Tool Rest with the Tool Rest Adjustment Knob and position the edge of the Tool
Rest that is closest to the wheel at a distance of approximately 1.5mm (Fig. I & III)
Note: The Tool Rest can be adjusted to best suit the work to be performed.
Always ensure that the Tool Rest is securely tightened before use.
Note: As the Grinding Wheel (18) wears, it will be necessary to adjust
the Tool Rest and Spark Arrestor. The gap between the Grinding Wheel
and the Tool Rest should be no more than 2mm at all times.
Fitting the belt tool rest
1. The Belt Tool Rest (8) can be fitted to two positions on the tool. The Belt Plate Tool Rest
Mounting (9) is for sanding/grinding against a flat surface. The Belt Roller Tool Rest
Mounting (10) is for when sanding against the larger lower belt roller of the belt sander
2. The order of the fittings is shown in Fig. IV
Changing the belt
Note: This should be read as part of the pre-operation check even if the belt is already fitted.
1. Remove the Belt Access Cover (4) by loosening the three Belt Plate
Screws (7) on the right side and sliding the Belt Access Cover up and
then off the tool. The three screws are arrowed in image A
2. Remove the existing belt by turning the Upper Roller Tensioner (2) anti-clockwise so the angle
of the upper belt roller drops on the right and there is sufficient play to remove the belt
3. Fit the new belt ensuring the direction of the belt is correct
as indicated in image A by the lower arrow
4. Re-tighten the Upper Roller Tensioner and ensure all nuts and screws are secure and tightened
