belt. Tension the sanding belt with the tensioning lever and

Hints on the safe use of the Power File

 If possible, place the work pieces in a vice or secure them to a
workbench or other solid base.
 When using the file on wood, it should be used in the direction of
the fibres whenever possible to avoid ripping fibres from the
wood.
 If very wide work pieces are machined, it is advisable to align the
machine in such a way that it covers as much of the surface as
possible at the same time to achieve a smooth and level surface.
 Before each use, make sure the sanding belt is free from
damage and can move freely. The edges of the belt should not
be frayed and the seam must be in good condition.
 The unit should be clean and there should be no parts missing.
 If you hear unusual sounds during operation or abnormal
vibration occurs, stop operating the unit and check the correct fit
of the sanding belt and the sanding arm. If the fault cannot be
remedied, have the power file checked by a professional.

Maintenance and Cleaning

 First unplug from power mains before cleaning or maintaining
the unit.
 Regularly brush or wipe the dust off the unit. Please keep in
mind that the dust may be hazardous.
 For cleaning the housing use a moist cloth, or for harmless dust,
a stiff brush.
