[. . . ] Always use a sanding belt and grade of grit suitable for the particular surface you are sanding. The speed selected should also be appropriate for the material. The device is not intended for commercial use. Any other use or modification to the device shall be considered as improper use and could give rise to considerable dangers. [. . . ] For this reason, always make sure that nobody is placed in any danger and that there are no inflammable materials near the working area. J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J Safety / Preparing for first use J or grease. Always watch what you are doing and proceed with caution. Do not use the device if you cannot concentrate or you are feeling unwell. L Advice on use L Preparing for first use Take note of the mains voltage. The mains voltage at the mains socket must match that shown on the rating plate on the device. Devices marked with 230 V can also be operated at 220 V. L Light sanding pressure is enough j Apply light sanding pressure only. The weight of the belt sander alone is adequate to produce good sanding results. By adopting this approach you will also prolong the life of your sanding belts and obtain a smoother workpiece surface. Sanding and surfaces The sanding output and the quality of the surface finish obtained are determined by the belt speed and the grade of grit on the sanding belt (see the section on "Selecting the correct rotational speed and sanding belt"). The following basic rule applies: the higher the rotational speed / belt speed, the higher the sanding output and the finer the sanded surface finish. Sanding procedure With the sander switched on, bring it into contact with the workpiece and move it forward carefully. Work in parallel and overlapping widths. Always work in the direction of the grain to avoid undesirable transverse sanding marks. j The auxiliary handle U can be adjusted or removed to allow you to sand difficult-toreach places. Tensioning / changing the sanding belt m Attention: Before you carry out any work on the belt sander always pull the plug out of the mains socket. 1) Then release the tensioner for the sanding belt by moving the tensioning lever O fully outwards (see fig. The tensioner is now open and the 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 size. Important: The direction of the arrows on the inside of the sanding belt must agree with that on sander housing. 3) Press the tensioning lever O back into its initial position. Adjusting the sanding belt j Pick up the device, switch it on and turn it over. Adjust the belt tracking by turning the adjuster screw Y until the edge of the sanding belt is flush with and runs parallel to the edge of the device (Fig. [. . . ] Ventilation openings must always be kept free. Remove any adhering dust with a narrow paint brush. Disposal / Information L Disposal The packaging consists of environmentallyfriendly materials.
