SELECTING SANDING BELTS
4.4.1.
Selecting the correct size and type of sanding belt is an important step in achieving a high-quality sanded finish.
4.4.2.
Aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding.
4.4.3.
In general, when sanding, coarse grit removes the most material and fine grit produces the best finish.
4.4.4.
The condition of the surface to be sanded determines which grit will do the best job.
4.4.5.
If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Then use medium grit to remove scratches left by
the coarser grit. Finally, use finer grit for finishing the surface.
Always continue sanding with each grit until the surface is uniform.

TO INSTALL/CHANGE SANDING BELTS
WARNING! Remove the battery pack. Keep hands and fingers clear of both rollers and spring mechanism at all times. Failure to do so
‰
could result in fingers getting pinched, causing serious injury.
4.5.1.
Position the sander on its side.

Raise the tension release lever, located on the opposite side to the tracking knob.
4.5.3.
Align the sanding belt to its correct position.
4.5.4.
Lower the tension release lever to secure the sanding belt.
WARNING!: If the sanding belt is not a bidirectional belt, ensure that the arrow inside the belt is pointing in the direction of the rotation
‰
(clockwise when looking into the open side of the sander). Installing unidirectional sanding belts backwards can create a hazardous
condition.
4.6.
TO ADJUST SANDING BELT TRACKING
NOTE: Belt life is greatly increased if you regularly adjust the sanding belt tracking. When correctly adjusted, the outer edge of the
sanding belt should be even with the outer edge of the base of the sander. When you install a new sanding belt, you may need to
adjust the sanding belt tracking several times until the belt becomes conditioned.

NOTE: Turn the tracking knob until you are sure the sanding belt is secure, i.e., it will not come off the sander or contact internal parts.

Remove the battery pack.
4.7.2.
Slide the dust bag retainer over the blower exhaust hole on the sander.
