Turn the machine upside down, hold it firmly with one
hand, start the motor and release the switch immediately
after observing tracking of sanding belt. If abrasive belt
runs outward, turn tracking adjustment knob (6) counter-
clockwise and clockwise if belt runs inward (See Fig 5).
Adjust the belt until the outer edge of the belt is even
with the outer edge of the base-plate . Belt life will be
greatly increased by keeping the tracking adjustment set
properly.

You must use the dust collection bag provided to collect
the dust produced during sanding. The dust collection
bag plastic bracket slides down onto the dust outlet on
the belt sander (See Fig 6). When the dust collection bag
is full, remove and empty bag by opening the zipper on
the dust collection bag (7).

Warning! Remove the power plug from
the socket before carrying out a drive belt
replacement.
Remove the two screws and the belt cover as shown

broken and remove from your belt sander. Fit your new
drive belt around the large pulley. Then install onto the
small pulley by rotating clockwise and pushing the drive
belt around the small pulley at the same time.The drive
belt will be a tight fit. Fit the belt cover and two screws.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR BELT
SANDER
a) If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when
used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and run
with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor.
b) Avoid prolonged usage at very low speed.
c) Always use a sanding belt suited to the material you
wish to sand.
d) Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or
clamped to prevent movement.
e) Support large panels close to the sanding area. Any
movement of the material may affect the quality of the
sanding finish.
f) Start your sander before sanding and turn off only
after stopping sanding.
NOTE: For best results sand wood in the direction of
the grain. Do not start sanding without the sanding belt
fitted. Empty the dust bag every 5 minutes or sooner to
