7.2 On/Off switch, continuous activation
Note: Switch the machine on first before
mounting it on the workpiece.
To start the machine, press the trigger switch (6).
For continuous operation the trigger switch can be
locked using the lock button (5). To stop the
machine, press the trigger switch (6) again.
In continuous operation, the machine
continues running if it is forced out of your
hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with
both hands using the handles provided, stand in a
safe position and concentrate.
7.3 Setting belt speed
Set the belt speed at the adjusting wheel (4). This
is also possible during operation.
The required belt speed depends on the material
and the working conditions and can be determined
through practical tests.
If - as a result of overloading - the motor speed
(and thus the belt speed) decreases significantly
during work, the adjusting wheel (4) must be set to
a higher value (than the previous one).
7.4 Adjusting belt run
Use the rotary knob (1) to adjust the sanding
belt - with the machine running - so that it
runs centrally on the sanding belt roller.

7.5 Sanding procedure
Switch the machine on first before mounting it on
the workpiece.
Mount the belt sander on the material, holding it
with both hands - with the sanding belt parallel to
the workpiece surface.
Keep the machine in constant motion because
otherwise recesses could be produced in the
material.
It is not necessary to exert additional pressure on
the machine when sanding. It is sufficient to guide
it and allow its well distributed weight to run it.

7.6 Sanding belt replacement
Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
Swivel out lever (12) as far as it will go. This relieves
sanding belt tension and it can now be removed
from the rollers.
For sanding belts, see Accessories chapter 10.
Place the new sanding belt on the rollers such that
its direction of circulation (arrows on the inside of
the sanding belt) matches the arrow (11) on the
machine housing.
To tension the sanding belt, press the lever (12)
back into its initial position.
7.7 Stationary use of machine
Fitting stand
(equipment-dependent)
Secure the machine safely on the stand
(13) before using it. Slipping of the machine
on the stand can result in loss of control.
Place the stand (13) on a firm, flat, hori-
zontal surface. Safe, steady work cannot be
guaranteed if the stand slides or wobbles.
- Fit the additional handle (9) in the bottom posi-
tion.
- Hook in the stand (13) as shown in the illustra-
tion.
- Then screw the wing screw (14) of the stand into
the machine housing and tighten.
- Place the machine on the stand (the sanding belt
faces upwards).
- The stand can be secured to the workbench with
two collets 6.27107 (see Accessories chapter
10).
Fitting parallel guide (equipment-dependent)
Once the machine has been set up in this manner,
the parallel guide (17) can be fitted.
Secure the parallel guide with the wing screw (19)
to the machine housing.
After releasing the wing screw (15), the plate (16) of
the parallel guide can be shifted.
For sanding inclined surfaces, the plate (16) of the
parallel guide can be inclined by up to 45° after the
wing nut (18) is released.
8 Cleaning, Maintenance
To optimise the extraction performance, empty the
dust bag in good time. The dust bag should not be
filled with sanding dust beyond 1/3 of its capacity.
When emptying the dust bag, ensure that
sanding dust cannot penetrate your body or
harm other persons.
