9 – Mode of operation
Working with the belt sander
Before starting work, check the setting to
ensure that the appropriate belt speed for
the material has been chosen.
Hold the machine with both hands parallel
to the surface. Switch on before making
contact with the material. Carefully place
on the surface to be sanded and move
backwards and forwards. Do not apply
excess pressure, the weight of the
machine itself is sufficient. Applying too
much pressure will worsen the results of
the sanding process and damage the
engine. Always process wood in the
direction of the grain. As long as the
machine is in contact with the work piece,
do not switch the machine off. When
carrying out several sanding processes
using different granulations (Figure 9),
always start with the coarsest. Ensure that
no bends are introduced into the belt
when sanding. Never use the same belt to
process different types of material. When
changing materials, for example, from
metal to wood, always fit a new sanding
belt.
Stationary operation
The belt sander may also be used in
stationary operation for certain tasks. To
do this, the belt sander may be secured
using clips (not included in the scope of
delivery) to a stable surface, for example,
a workbench.
CAUTION! Make sure that the
surface is safe and does not
wobble.
CAUTION! Always secure the belt
sander with both clips to ensure it
is wobble free.

CAUTION! In stationary operation,
always use the "Continuous
operation" switch position.
CAUTION! In stationary operation,
always work with the greatest of
attention. There is a risk of injury to
hands and fingers by slipping on the work
piece.
CAUTION! The smaller the work
piece, the higher the risk of injury
when sanding! Only sand work pieces
that can be held and guided safely with
both hands. If necessary, use other
sanding methods.
CAUTION! Hold work pieces with
both hands when sanding.
10 – Maintenance and
environmental
protection
CAUTION! Unplug from the
power source!
Keep the ventilation slots free and
remove dust regularly with a brush.
Clean the housing with a damp cloth
only - do not use solvents! Then dry
well. After completing work, wash the
emptied dust collection box in mild,
hand-hot, soapy water and allow to dry
well.
Have any other maintenance work
carried out by a specialist.
CAUTION! Electrical and battery
operated units that no longer work
should not be disposed
of in the household
waste! They are to be
collected separately, in
accordance with the
2012/19 EU directive for
