IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE MACHINE Electric switch The machine is fitted with a protected switch. Push the button to “ON” to start the motor and the “OFF” to stop. Fig. 1 Suction dust tube The suction dust tube is placed at the back of the machine next to the dustbag holder.
Sandpaper disk holder The sandpaper disk holder is a tapered nut. Fig. 5 MACHINE SET-UP Fitting the dustbag After unpacking the machine, proceed as follows: Fit the suction tube Fit the dustbag holder Fit the dustbag HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE Fitting the sandpaper Sandpaper discs with an adhesive backing: use 178 mm.
HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE Fasten the nut with the wrench included in the wrench kit (Fig. 8). Fig. 8 Sanding angle adjustment The sanding angle is set up at the factory for sanding with a 1/3 disk. If you wish to change this angle, unloosen the nut securing the wheel shaft.
MAINTENANCE Brush replacement Disconnect the machine from the power supply. Remove side and front screws.( Fig.11). Fig. 11 Remove the vertical bracket (Fig. 12). Fig. 12 Remove the plastic cover securing the brushes with a screwdriver (Fig. 13). Remove the brushes carefully and replace them (Fig. 14).
MAINTENANCE Changing and adjusting the V-belt Due to the high speed of the motor, it is important to check the tension of the V-belt. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE BELT TOO MUCH. This type of machine, equipped with high speed motors, needs a regular replacement of the belt.
MAINTENANCE Take off the taper nut which holds the sandpaper (Fig. 19). Fig.19 Remove the guard which covers the central screw with a screwdriver. Holding the disk with one hand, ease the central screw with an Allen wrench (Fig.20 a - b). To pull out the pulley from the bearing, strike the central screw slightly with a plastic hammer (Fig.20 c).
MAINTENANCE Wheel replacement For proper machine operation, inspect the wheels for wearing and to ensure the working angle is not altered as the wheels wear down. The proper working angle is necessary to maintain: - Adequate dust suction - proper sanding finish Replace wheels as required to maintain the proper working angle.
