Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your new tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or
changing any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Fitting a sanding belt
1. Place the sander upside down on a workbench or a similar secure, flat surface
2. Pull out the Belt Release Lever (10). This retracts the Front Roller (8) and slackens the sanding
belt. The worn belt can now be removed
3. Fit the new sanding belt, positioning it squarely over the rollers
4. Close the Belt Release Lever. The belt should now be taut and secure
5. Once fitted, it may be necessary to adjust the Belt Tracking Adjuster (6) to ensure the belt runs
true
6. Keep the sander inverted and connect it to the power supply
7. Hold the sander firmly by the Rear Handle (3) and depress the On/Off Trigger (7). Observe any
sideways motion of the belt
8. If needed, turn the Belt Tracking Adjuster clockwise to move the belt left, or anti-clockwise to
move the belt right until the belt runs true
9. Disconnect the sander from power supply
Fitting the Dust bag
• Push fit the Dust bag (12) on to the Dust Extraction Port (4)
• To maintain an efficient dust removal process, do not allow the dust bag to become greater than
two thirds full

Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as well
as suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
Switching 'ON' and 'OFF'
• To start the tool, squeeze the On/Off Trigger (7). To stop the tool, release the trigger
• For extended continuous use, the On/Off Trigger can be locked in the 'on' position:
1. Squeeze the On/Off Trigger and depress the Lock On Button (2); the machine will continue to run
when the On/Off Trigger is released
2. To stop the machine, squeeze and release the On/Off Trigger
Sanding
• Before starting to sand, ensure the workpiece is adequately secured. Use clamps as necessary,
and always keep both hands on the machine
• To achieve a high quality finish efficiently, start with a coarse grade of sanding belt, and work
through to finer grades until the desired finish is achieved
• Before connecting the machine to the power supply, check the On/Off Trigger (7) is in the off
position, and the sanding belt is properly fitted
1. Connect the sander to the power supply
2. Raise the sander off the work surface and switch on. Squeeze the On/Off Trigger and allow the
sander to reach its full operating speed
3. Keeping a secure hold of the machine, lower the sander onto the work surface. To avoid
unnecessary damage to the work surface, keep the movement direction of the sanding belt
parallel with the natural grain of the wood
4. Move the sander slowly across the surface of the workpiece until the desired amount of material
has been removed
5. Always lift the sander away from the surface of the workpiece before stopping the motor
6. Ensure the motor has come to a complete stop before placing the machine down
7. Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before leaving it unattended
Bench-mounted use
• The sander can be inverted for bench-mounted use when combined with the Inversion Adaptor
(14) and Inversion Clamps (13)
1. Place the sander on a secure flat surface, such as a workbench
2. Centre the Inversion Adaptor on the Front Handle (1), and turn the sander upside down so it is
resting on the Inversion Adaptor
3. Clamp the sander to the work surface by locating the Inversion Clamps in the fastening holes of
the sander, whilst positioning the plastic grips beneath the table surface
4. Fasten the wing nuts on the Inversion Clamps to fix the sander securely to the surface
Emptying the dust bag
WARNING: Always switch off and disconnect from the power supply before detaching the dust
extraction system.
1. Remove the Dust Bag (12) by gripping the neck and pulling the bag away from the Dust
Extraction Port (4)
2. Open the bag, empty and refit (see 'Fitting the dust bag')
Note: If the sanding dust contains harmful substances, such as particles from old paint, varnish,
surface coatings etc, always dispose of according to laws and regulations.
WARNING: For optimum dust removal, empty the dust bag when it is no more than two-thirds full.

the drive belt and gears
