General Instructions for 240v Machines...
www.axminster.co.uk
These machines are supplied with a moulded 13 Amp. Plug and 3 core power cable. Before using the tool inspect the cable and the plug to make sure that neither are damaged. If any damage is visible have the tool inspected/repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is necessary to replace the plug, it is preferable to use an ‘unbreakable’ type that will resist damage on site. Only use a 13 Amp plug, make sure the cable clamp is tightened securely. Fuse at 13 Amp. It is also good practice to use switched outlets. If extension leads are to be used, carry out the same safety checks on them, and ensure that they are correctly rated to safely supply the current that is required for your machine.
This machine is intended primarily for inside/workshop usage.
Always mount the machine on a flat, level stable surface. There are several methods of achieving this, bolting the machine directly to a ‘good solid workbench’, bolting the machine to a sturdy base board that can be clamped to the ‘good solid workbench’; create an independent entity by bolting the machine to its own stand. However you mount your machine, make sure it is fastened down and stable before use.
Paper belts and discs do not respond well to wet or damp conditions. In the worst case the adhesives holding the belt and the abrasive fail completely, the belts fall apart and the abrasive becomes a soggy mess against the edge of your work piece.
Try to keep the machine in a reasonably dry, warm environment. If this is not possible; or if the machine is to remain unused for some time, at least remove the belt, put in a ‘plastic’ bag and store in a warm dry place. I’m afraid I can offer no suggestions for the disc, unless you have upgraded to some form of ‘velcro’. fastening method, in which case, do the same as with the belt. (P.S. don’t forget… don’t leave the spare belts/discs in the damp either).
Keep the work area as uncluttered as is practical, this includes personnel as well as material.
The following suggestions will enable you to observe good working practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.

Once the sander is mounted, carry out any setting operations, (mitre, tilt..?), and remove all tools used in the setting operations (if any) and place safely out of the way. If you are working long lengths of material arrange for extra support beyond the boundary of the machine, and check you have sufficient room to manoeuvre the material through all the operations you will wish to carry out.
It is good practice to leave the machine unplugged until work is about to commence, also make sure to unplug the machine when it is not in use. Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the cable.
After fitting a new sanding disc, it is good practice to lightly sand across the left side of the disc with a reasonable sized (20mm x 50mm) piece of timber to make sure the sanding disc is correctly ‘seated’ on the disc. The sanding action will press the sanding disc firmly back against the disc itself.
It is not good practice to wear gloves whilst sanding as one tends to lose the ‘feel’ of the workpiece/sander contact, but obviously this removes the safety barrier between your fingers and the sanding surface. Remain focused and exercise caution whilst sanding.
DO NOT sand very small pieces of work with bare hands; try to construct some form of holder.
MAKE SURE you are comfortable before you start work, balanced, not reaching etc. If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate excessive grit or dust or chips, wear the appropriate safety clothing, goggles, masks etc., If the work operation appears to be exces­sively noisy, wear ear-defenders. If you wear your hair in a long style, wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a sweatband, will minimise the possibility of your hair being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine, likewise, consideration should be given to the removal of rings and wristwatches, if these are liable to be a ‘snag’ hazard.
DO NOT work with cutting/abrasive tools of any description if you are tired, your attention is wandering or you are being subjected to distraction. A deep graze, a lost fingertip or worse, is not worth it!
DO NOT use the machine within the designated safety areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there may be volatile gases. There are very expensive, very specialised machines for working in these areas, THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
CHECK that sanding surfaces are still sufficiently abrasive to carry out the work you intend. Sanding belt cleaning sticks are an efficient method of prolonging the life of the belts and discs, and will also maintain their operating performance.
WARNING! THE SANDING DISC CANNOT BE DECLUTCHED
FROM THE BELT AND VICE VERSA, BOTH FUNCTIONS ARE
ACTIVE WHEN THE MACHINE IS RUNNING. REMEMBER THIS,
AND DO NOT LEAVE LOOSE OBJECTS OF ANY DESCRIPTION,
ON THE MACHINE IF IT IS GOING TO BE USED.

Specific to Sanding Machines...
CHECK that the belts or discs are undamaged; torn edges can pick up on the workpiece and will cause the medium to tear, often very rapidly with accompanying sharp flapping edges.
ALWAYS offer the workpiece to the belt/disc so that the motion carries the work against the restraining surface, (i.e. the work stop or the table, (use the left hand side of the disc).
DO NOT press too heavily against the sanding surface, all this will do is slow the sander down. Remember, sanders work by removing small particles of material quickly and heavy pressure works adversely to the cutting process, further, it will accelerate the rate of ‘clogging’ of the abrasive surfaces, rendering the machine less efficient.
If you are attempting to sand inside curves (over the ‘tracking drum’) do not press at all, other than to keep the workpiece in contact with the surface, any pressure could upset the tracking geometry. As there is no cushioning effect to the belt passing around the drum, expect an added vibration and compensate for it.
Sanding of certain types of timber may make the fitting of dust extraction mandatory in order to comply with the directives of the HSE. However, even if it is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended that you consider fitting dust extraction. It will certainly reduce the level of dust and grit, and as it helps to remove the waste quicker will certainly prolong the longevity of the abrasive.
Above all, OBSERVE…. make sure you know what is happening around you, and USE
YOUR COMMON SENSE.

Tracking the Belt
NOTE1: All directions are given from the view point of the operator standing behind the
drive drum end looking down the length of the machine. The tracking control works as follows:- turning the tracking adjuster clockwise will track the belt to the right, anti-clockwise will track the belt to the left.
NOTE2: Using your hand, roll the belt towards the drive drum end, check that the belt stays in the middle of the table, if not, adjust the track control slightly, and move the belt again, continue until the belt runs down the centre of the linishing table (See figs 13 & 14).
NOTE: You can wear a glove if you wish, to stop the abrasive on the belt cutting your skin.
Replace the linishers back guard & lower the linisher and clamp in place.
DO NOT MAKE LARGE ADJUSTMENTS, AND REMEMBER THE BELT MAY TAKE SOME TIME TO REACT TO YOUR ALTERATION. LITTLE BY LITTLE IS A GOOD MAXIM TO OBSERVE WHEN CARRYING OUT TRACKING OPERATIONS.

There is very little mechanical maintenance that can be carried out on the machine. Most prudent maintenance is preventative and concerned with keeping the machine clean.
1. Remove the belt and check there is no dust or resin build up on the drums or at the edges of the platen.
2. At reasonable intervals, turn the sander on it side to inspect and remove all dust/resin build ups, and blow the motor clean (See fig 56).
3. Remove the dust extraction moulding (C) & the workstop plate (H), remove any dust or resin build up and clean them thoroughly to allow the dust to travel over their surfaces smoothly.
4. Remove the table (E), the disc plate (G) & plastic disc guard moulding (F). Check the condition of the drive belt (a) is not frayed, worn or loose (See fig 57). Replace all guards and covers, etc., Reconnect to the supply and start up the machine, check that nothing has disturbed the tracking.
