TENSIONING/CHANGING THE SANDING BELT

ATTENTION: Before you carry out any work on the belt sander always pull the plug out of the
mains socket.
1) Release the tensioner for the sanding belt by turning the tensioning lever
(see figure ). The belt holder is now open and sanding belt can be removed.
2) Next insert a new sanding belt or change the belt for one suitable for a different material or one
with a different grit.
IMPORTANT: The direction of the arrow on the inside of the sanding belt must agree with that on
sander housing (see Fig. ).
3) Fully tension the sanding belt – turn the tensioning lever I back into its initial position.
4) Lift up the sander and switch it on. Adjust the belt tracking by turning the adjuster screw
the edge of the sanding belt is flush with and runs parallel to the slider plate.
Always make sure that the sanding belt does not cut into the housing. Check the sanding belt
regularly and re-adjust if necessary using the adjuster screw .
ADVICE ON SANDING
Always switch on the belt sander before making contact with the material and only then guide
the sander on to the workpiece.
USE LIGHT SANDING PRESSURE ONLY
Use the lightest possible pressure when sanding. The self-weight of the belt sander alone is quite
sufficient for good sanding performance.
In addition, by working this way you will achieve a smoother surface and use less energy.
MATERIAL REMOVED AND SURFACE FINISH
The amount of material removed by sanding and the quality of the surface finish achieved depend
on the belt speed and the grit size of the sanding belt (see section on "Belt speed and sanding
sheet"). The following basic rules apply: the higher the rpm/belt speed you use, the more material is
removed and the finer is the sanded surface.
