which helps this machine achieve a high level of dust
extraction. There is a powered fan in the dust outlet port,
which helps produce an airflow around both the belt and
disc. When connected to a simple vacuum extractor almost
total dust extraction can be achieved. The chassis is heavily
constructed to support the tables and belt arm, a cast iron
base absorbs vibration and has locating holes for securing
this sander to a workbench if you so wish.
Having opened the box, remove the top packaging and lift
the machine out and place upon a clear flat surface, taking
care not to trap or pinch the power cable under the chassis.
Remove the remaining items from the box and place safely
aside.
• Leave machine unplugged until work is about to
commence.
• Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body
and not the cable.

is securely tightened in the machine and the
correct speed and function set.
Ensure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced, not reaching etc.
• Wear appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves,
masks etc. Wear ear defenders at all times.
