speed control
Fig. B
•
During operation and whilst the machine is
at rest the stroke rate (speed) can be
selected using the thumbwheel (6).
•
The stroke rate required depends upon the
material conditions. The optimal setting
should be determined in use.
•
After working for longer periods at low
speed you should allow the machine to
cool down by running it at maximum speed
with no-load for approx. 3 minutes.
Mounting dustbag
Fig. B
A complete dust bag is enclosed. Put the wire-
bracket (inside the dust bag) into to the adapter
of the dust bag (when not mounted). The end
of the bracket has to point upwards. Use the
dust bag to collect dust which is released
during sanding.
•
Put the dust bag on the dust collection
opening
•
Empty the dust bag regularly in order to
obtain an efficient dust extraction.
The adapter of the dust bag can also be used
to connect a vacuum cleaner to the machine.
Grip
The use of the belt sander is made easier
because of the two grips one on the front side
and one on the back. Through that you can
Ferax
hold the machine with two hands, you have a
better control of the machine and there is less
risk to becoming in touch with the moving parts.
Hold the belt sander always with both hands.
operating instructions
Make sure that the machine has reached its
full speed before placing the machine on the
work piece. This will prevent an overload of
the machine. For sanding wood, place the
machine approximately 15° out of the grains
of the wood. Move the belt sander continuous
over the work piece.
•
Do not bend the sanding belts
•
Do no use the same sanding belt for
sanding wood and metal
•
Do not bring too much pressure to your
machine, this will only delay the sanding.
