6.3 Adjusting belt run
Using the screw (2), adjust the sanding belt

6.4 Sanding procedure
Switch the machine on first before mounting it on
the workpiece.
Place the machine on the material such that the
sanding belt is parallel to the surface of the
workpiece.
Keep the machine in constant motion because
otherwise recesses could be produced in the

frequently and thoroughly. Here, the machine must
be held firmly.
8. Troubleshooting
The electronic signal display (12) lights
up and the load speed decreases. The
temperature is too high! Run the machine in
idling until the electronics signal indicator switches
off.
The electronic signal display (12) flashes
and the machine does not start. The restart
protection is active. The machine will not start
if the battery pack is inserted while the machine is
on. Switch the machine off and on again.

9. Tips and Tricks

Do not press the device too firmly against the
surface being sanded. This does not improve, but
rather impairs, the sanding performance.
For optimum operation: Sand on the side on which
the sanding belt moves towards the machine.
