5. SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
IV - Additional safety rules for
belt sanders
▪ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, because the belt may contact its own cord.
Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
▪ Always wear safety equipment including safety gog-
gles, ear protection, dust mask and protective safety
gloves.
▪ Always remove the plug from the mains socket
before making any adjustments or maintenance,
including changing the sanding belt.
▪ While operating the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance.
The power tool is guided more securely with both
hands.
▪ Use the machine for dry sanding only. Penetration
of water into the machine increases the risk of an elec-
tric shock.
▪ Do not use worn, torn or heavily clogged sand-
ing belts. Damaged sanding belts can tear apart, be
thrown from the machine and injure somebody.
▪ Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential
overheating.
▪ When an extension cable is required, you must en-
sure that it has the right ampere rating for your power
tool and is in safe electrical condition.
▪ Always keep the cord away from the working area of
the power tool.
▪ After long working periods external metal parts and
accessories could be hot.
▪ If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold your
work.
▪ Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on and switch the machine off only after it
has been lifted away from the workpiece.
▪ Always switch off before you put the sander down.
▪ Apply slight pressure during operation. The machine
own weight is sufficient for good sanding perfor-
mance. Excessive increase of pressure does not in-
crease sanding capacity, but causes motor overheat-
ing and belt wear.
▪ The dust, separated while processing materials, con-
taining quartz (SiO
2
not process materials containing asbestos.
▪ When sanding wood, always connect the dust bag or
use a dust extraction system.
▪ Before using the sander with metal, always remove
the dust bag from the outlet as sparks may ignite the
dust or the bag.
▪ Do not touch the moving sanding belt.
▪ Ensure that you have removed foreign objects such as
nails and screws from the work before commencing

▪ Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be
left around the work area.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a
power source (mains socket power point receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same
as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power
source with a voltage greater than that specified for the
tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as
damage to the tool.
▪ If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.
▪ Using a power source with a voltage less than the
nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
▪ The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual
will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not
the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or in-
jury resulting from such cases of misuse.

▪ The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes
made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from
such changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not pos-
sible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in connection with the tool's construc-
tion and design:
▪ Damage to the lungs if an effective dust mask is not
