OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for dry sanding–with high
removal capacity–of wood, plastic, metal, filler as well
as varnished surfaces. The sander is not to be used for
plastering.
1. ON/OFF SWITCH
Depress to start and release to stop your tool.
2. SWITCH LOCK-ON BUTTON (See Fig. A)
Depress on/off switch (2) then lock on button (3). Your tool
is now locked on for continuous use. To switch off your tool
just depress and release the on/off switch.
3. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL DIAL
Adjust the variable speed control (1) to increase or
decrease the speed according to the material and sanding
belt specification to be used (also possible during no load
operation). See the table below for general guidance on
speed selection. Avoid prolonged use at very low speed as
this may damage
your sander's motor.

4. CHANGING A SANDING BELT (See Fig. B, C)
WARNING! Remove the main plug
from the socket before changing sanding belt.
Pull the lever (7) to release the belt tension.
Remove and fit a new belt over both rollers.
Ensure the direction of rotation arrows on the
belt and the sander are the same. Close the
lever to tension the belt.
5. BELT CENTERING CONTROL (See Fig. D)
WARNING! Wear eye protection
before carrying out a belt centering
adjustment.
Turn the machine upside down, hold it firmly
with one hand, start the motor and release the
switch immediately after observing tracking
of sanding belt. If abrasive belt runs outward,
turn tracking adjustment knob counter-
clockwise and clockwise if belt runs inward.

Adjust the belt until the outer edge of the belt is even
with the outer edge of the base-plate (12). Belt life will be
greatly increased by keeping the tracking adjustment set
properly.
6. DUST BAG (See Fig. E)
You must use the dust collection bag provided to collect
the dust produced during sanding.
To attach, insert the dust collection bag into the dust
extraction outlet. Make sure the dots of the outlet are
locked in the slot of the dust bag. When the dust collection
bag is full, remove and empty by opening the zip on the
dust bag (5).
7. ASSEMBLE THE DUST EXTRACTION ADAPTER (See
Fig. F,G)
Your sander is equipped with a dust extraction adapter,
which is designed for letting you attach a wet/dry vac for
collecting dust better. Insert the suitable size adapter into
the outlet until it is secured.
Insert the 35mm adapter (13a) into the outlet until it is
secured (See F), then insert the 32 mm adapter (13b) into
the back of the 35 mm adapter (Fig. G).
8. DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT.
WARNING! Remove the main plug
from the socket before carrying out a drive belt
replacement.
Remove the three screws and the belt cover. Carefully cut
the drive belt if not already broken and remove from your
belt sander. Fit your new drive belt around the large pulley.

Then install onto the small pulley by
150
rotating clockwise and pushing the drive belt shown
around the small pulley at the same time. The drive belt will
be a tight fit. Fit the belt cover and two screws.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
80
BELT SANDER
100
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially
when used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and
100
run with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid
prolonged usage at very low speed. Always use a sanding
belt suited to the material you wish to sand. Always
ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent
movement. Support large panels close to the sanding area.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of
the sanding
finish. Start your sander before sanding and turn off only
after stopping sanding. For best results sand wood in the
direction of the grain. Do not start sanding without the
sanding belt fitted. Empty the dust bag every 5 minutes or
sooner to ensure efficient dust collection.
