Work instructions for the pipe belt
sander attachment
NOTE
When the appliance is switched off, the
grinding tool continues running briefly.
A belt sander has the following advantages
over a grinding disc:
– cool sanding,
– clean finish without grooves,
– high stock removal rate,
– high productivity on account of large angle
of contact (depending on diameter).
Sanding:
NOTE
After placing the machine on the workpiece
and before switching it on, check that the
belt is situated fully on the rollers.
– Pipes are machined between the rollers
11 and 12.
– The angle of contact and the stock removal
rate can be varied by the contact pressure.
– The smaller the pipe diameter, the larger
the possible angle of contact. Up to 270°
are possible.
Sealing the surface:
Many manufacturers recommend sealing
finished surfaces with a protective spray
(see Flex stainless steel accessories).
