Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.
Safety hints
For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed safety
instructions.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to belt sander safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious per-
sonal injury.
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
2. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
3. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent working dust inha-
lation and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
4. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for
the material and application you are working
with.
5. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Make sure the belt is not contacting the work8
piece before the switch is turned on.
8. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
10. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.

WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in
this instruction manual may cause serious personal
injury.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing abrasive belt (Fig. 1)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the belt.
Pull the lever all the way out and install the belt over the
rollers, then return the lever to the original position.
CAUTION:
When installing the belt, make sure that the direction of
GEB015-1
the arrow on the back of the belt corresponds to the one
on the tool itself. (Fig. 2)
Adjusting belt tracking (Fig. 3)
Switch on the tool and make sure that the belt is aligned
properly. If the edge of the belt extends beyond the edge
of the base or the edge of the belt retracts more than
6 mm away from the edge of the base, use the adjusting
knob to adjust the belt tracking.
Dust bag (Fig. 4 & 5)
Attach the dust bag onto the dust spout. The dust spout
is tapered. When attaching the dust bag, push it onto the
dust spout firmly as far as it will go to prevent it from com-
ing off during operation. For the best results, empty the
dust bag when it becomes about half full, tapping it lightly
to remove as much dust as possible.
