BEFORE USE
• Before using the tool for the first time, it is recommended
to receive practical information.
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool.
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or
call the local utility company for assistance(contact
with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock).
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is
considered carcinogenic).
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust
extraction device when connectable.
• Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
(such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust
mask and work with a dust extraction device when
connectable.
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with.
• Do not clamp the tool in a vice.
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with
a capacity of 16 Amps.
AFTER USE
• After switching off the tool, never stop the rotation of the
accessory by a lateral force applied against it.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
Before reconnecting the tool, depress and
release the trigger switch to ensure that the tool

tension on the sanding belt (6).
• Remove the old sanding belt (6).
• Place a new sanding belt (6) over the rollers. Ensure
that the arrow on the sanding belt (6) points in the same
direction as the arrow on the tool.
• To ensure a correct tracking, the sanding belt (6) must
be centred over the rollers.
• Push the tension lever (5) inward to tension the sanding
belt (6).
Variable speed control dial (Fig D)

or decrease the speed according to the material and
sanding belt specification to be used (also possible
during no load operation).
Fitting and removing the dustbag (Fig C)
• Slide the dustbag (3) over the dust extraction outlet (4).
• To remove the dustbag (3), slide it off the outlet.

A dust adaptor (8) is required to connect a vacuum cleaner
to the tool.
• Push the adaptor (8) into the dust extraction outlet (4).
• Connect vacuum cleaner hose to the adaptor (8).
Residual risks
Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool
which may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings.
These risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.
Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks cannot be avoided. These include:
• Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.
• Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or
accessories.
• Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When
using any tool for prolonged periods make sure you take
regular breaks.
• Impairment of hearing.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed
when using your tool (example:- working with wood,
especially oak, beech and MDF).
USE
WARNING! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do
not overload. The auto tracking feature of this
sander allows you to sand without adjusting the
location of the sanding belt (6).
• Make sure that the sanding belt (6) is centred over the
rollers during assembly.
• During use, if the sanding belt (6) begins to track
incorrectly, remove the belt sander from the work piece
and allow it to run briefly. The sanding belt (6) will return
to its centred position.
• If the sanding belt (6) does not return to the centred
position, allow the unit to cool for 5 minutes and repeat.
Switching on and off (Fig A,E)
• To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch (1).
• For continuous operation, press the lock-on button (2)
and release the on/off switch (1).
• To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch (1).
• To switch the tool off when in continuous operation,
press the on/off switch (1) once more and release it.
