Adjusting the belt speed
• The belt speed of this power belt file can be adjusted using the Variable
Speed Dial (3)
1. Turn the Variable Speed Dial to a higher setting, to increase belt speed

material requirements. Also refer to the belt manufacturer's instructions,
with regards to speed selection.
Power filing tips
• This power belt file is ideal for intricate sanding and filing tasks at places
that are difficult to access with other tools (see Fig. III)
• Move the machine over the workpiece surface, applying an even,
moderate pressure until you reach the desired surface finish
WARNING: Excessive pressure does not lead to a faster removal of
material; it will however lead to premature wear of the sanding belt, and
may cause damage to the machine. Both sanding performance and quality
depend mainly on the choice of the correct sanding belt.
• If there are still scratches on your workpiece after sanding, refer to
'Selecting the right grade of sanding belt'
Accessories
• A full range of sanding belts and accessories is available from your
Silverline stockist
