HANDLE
(Fig. 3)
The locking arm on the side of the
handle can be loosened to permit
handle adjustment. To adjust
the handle, pull out the locking
arm and move the handle to the
desired position (Fig° 3). Once
the handle is in position, push the
locking arm in to lock the handle
into position.
NOTICE: The handle can be
adjusted to 0°, 45°and 90°for easy
operation as needed.
2=POSITION BELT COVER
When the handle is in the upper
position, the belt cover can be
raised as shown in Fig. 4 and
locked in place to:
• Improve accessibility to
narrow areas.
• Allow the use of the front
roller for sanding (normally
the cover prevents this when
in the "down" position).
• Expose the top part of the
belt for sanding on the upper
surface (Fig. 4a).
To raise the belt cover:
