General Instructions for 230V Machines...
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.
Good Working Practices/Safety
WARNING!!
!
KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE
REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
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 workpiece.
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. With regard to the disc, this advice is on practical if you have upgraded to a Velcro
fastening method. Also ensure that sparebelts/discs arer not stored in dammp conditions.
Keep the work area as uncluttered as is practical; this includes personnel as well as material.

Specific to Sanding Machines...
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.
!
Once the sander is mounted, carry out any setting operations 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 you tend 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.
Do not use the machine within the designated safety areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas
where there may be volatile gases.
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.
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.

Changing the Abrasive Belt/Disc...
Remove the lift and shift handle (H), sanding disc table (C), dust extraction moulding (B) and place
safely aside. Lift the edge of the disc and, gripping firmly, peel the disc away from the plate; turning
the plate as required to free the entire disc (See fig 33). Remove and throw away. Remove any patches
of abrahesive that have stuck to the disc and render the plate CLEAN.
Peel the cover from the adhesive surface and apply
CAREFULLY to the flat surface of the cast iron disc.
Place a piece of cloth in your hand or wear a glove, to
firmly press the abrasive to the disc, it will be
reinforced by a gentle sanding action across the face
when you first use the new sanding disc. Replace the
extraction moulding (B), sanding disc table (C) and
lift and shift handles (F).
Remove the belt access cover as
described on page 11 Tracking
the Belt, and place safely aside.
While holding the belt, push in the
tracking knob, thus releasing the
tension on the belt and remove
the abrasive belt (See figs 31-32).
Check the new belt for any signs
of damage; fit the new belt by
sliding it through the table (D)
cutout and fit it over the three
pulleys then release the tracking
knob, putting tension back on.
Replace the access cover (d);
reconnect the sander to the
mains, turn on and check the belt is tracking correctly. If not remove the cover and go to page 11 for
Tracking the Belt. Replace the cover reconnect to the mains and check again.
