8. Drive belt replacement
A spare drive belt is supplied with your sander. If belt should require
replacement, firstly switch off and unplug the mains supply lead then remove
the drive belt cover. To do this remove the cross head screw and take off cover.
To remove drive belt, pull firmly outwards and upwards at the same time
rotating the pulley.
The belt will slowly come off the groove. To replace the drive belt, firstly place
the belt over the small pulley and then push the belt onto the bottom of the
large pulley. At the same time rotate the large pulley to "feed" the belt on.
Replace the drive belt cover and screws.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR SANDER
1. Your sander is useful for working on wood, metal, painted surface. It will
smooth surfaces prior to painting, even where fillers have been used and left
proud.
2. Your sander is best suited to large flat areas such as doors but can also be
used on skirting boards, windows, etc, provided they are accessible.
3. Different types of sanding paper will allow the sander to meet various needs.
Different grades of sanding paper are available, the higher grade number, the
finer the grit. For rough work start with a low grade of grit (i.e. 60grit) and
change to a higher, finer grade (i.e. 100grit or 120grit) for finishing. If you use a
fine grade for rough surfaces it will soon clog and need changing.
4. At all times, let the sander do the Work. Do not force it or apply excessive
pressure to the sanding paper or it could wrinkle or tear. Preferably, use a light
circular motion.
5. If the surface shows excessive marking from the abrasive motion, you may
be using a grit which is too coarse or applying too much pressure.
