[. . . ] If the mains cable becomes damaged or cut through whilst you are working, never touch the cable - pull the plug out of the mains socket immediately. Never use electrical equipment with a damaged mains cable. When working always keep the cable running away from the back of the machine. 4 The belt sander should be connected to a suitable external vacuum suction device when sanding wood for long periods and in particular when sanding materials that give rise to dusts that may be hazardous to health. Wear a breathing mask, ear protectors and protective glasses. [. . . ] 1) Release the tensioner for the sanding belt by turning the tensioning lever ¾ fully outwards (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 ¾ back into its initial position. Adjust the belt tracking by turning the adjuster screw º until 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 º. 5 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. SANDING PROCEDURE With the sander switched on, bring it into contact with the workpiece and move it forward carefully. Continue sanding using overlapping strokes parallel to the belt track. Always work in the direction of the grain to avoid undesirable transverse sanding marks. VACUUM EXTRACTION OF DUST Wear a dust mask!Vacuum extraction of dust makes disposal easier, prevents the build up of stubborn dust deposits and keeps dust out of the air you are breathing. It will also prevent sanding debris from getting on to the workpiece surface and leaving grease or burn marks. Pull the dust collection bag µ over the supplied adapter and attach it to the dust extraction spout ¶. The stirrup-shaped adapter ensures that the dust collection bag is fully opened out to accept the sanding dust (see Fig. Empty the dust collection bag regularly. You can also attach a domestic vacuum cleaner to the dust extraction spout ¶ (see Fig. Do not use the domestic vacuum cylinder to extract an explosive mixture of dust and air. If there is an explosive mixture of dust and air you must use a vacuum device especially intended for that purpose. ATTENTION - DANGER OF FIRE: Do not use vacuum dust extraction (dust bag or vacuum cleaner) when sanding metals (flying sparks). NOTE · Always move the belt sander over the workpiece surface with both hands using even movements. [. . . ] · Keep the sanding belt properly tensioned so that it does not hang down too much and become unusable due to knicks, creases etc. You can find further practical tips in the accompanying booklet "Safety Advice".
