over.
Ø DO NOT carry the machine by the cord.
Ø DO NOT allow the cord or plug to drag along the floor when transporting.
RUNNING THE MACHINE
Ø Do all pre-operational and operational safety checks from Chapter 1.
Ø Consider your security and stability as well as the orientation of the machine in the work area.
o Consider the work surface material, condition, strength, density and rigidity. These factors
directly affect the tools operation and user safety.
Ø Ensure the secondary handle is securely attached.
o It can be connected from the right or left side.
Ø Ensure the work surface is free of debris, oil, etc.
Ø Select appropriate grit sanding paper. Install paper.

o Start the machine by depressing “10” in picture above For continuous operation, while
depressing the main on/off switch, depress the round button until the machine continually
engages. Stop the machine by pressing the on/off switch in and releasing.
Ø After turned on, slowly engage the sanding paper with the material surface by lightly engaging towards the
material. Ensure the sanding belt is parallel to the work surface. Operating at right angles will ensure the
belt does not fall off the rollers.
o NOTE: Do not force the sanding. Let the machine do most of the work. Excessive physical effort
should be avoided as it can cause damage to the machine or the user.
o CAUTION: This machine is equipped with motor overload protection. If the unit shuts down due
to overload, turn switch off. Wait 5 seconds and turn the machine back on and run under no-load
for 20 seconds to allow for motor cooling. Not doing this could result in motor failure.
o If the motor stops due to belt failure, stop the machine immediately to prevent injury. Disconnect
the machine from the power supply and change paper.
Ø Finish sanding the surface.
