Belt sander PEBS 900
L Introduction
L For your safety
Please make sure you familiarise yourself
fully with the way the device works before
you use it for the first time and that you
understand how to handle electrical power tools
correctly. Further details can be found in the operating
instructions. In addition to the above, you must also
observe the general safety advice contained in the
accompanying booklet. Keep these instructions in a safe
place. If you pass the device on to anyone else, please

L
Proper use
The belt sander is intended for dry-sanding wood,
metal and paint. Always use a sanding belt and
grade of grit suitable for the particular surface you
are sanding. The speed selected should also be
appropriate for the material.
The device is not intended for commercial use.
Any other use or modification to the device shall
be considered as improper use and could give rise
to considerable dangers. The manufacturer will not
accept liability for loss or damage arising from
improper use.

Safety advice relating specifically
to this device
J Keep children away from the device.
Store the device in a dry,enclosed
room, out of reach of children.
J Ensure that the device is always used in accordance
with the operating instructions and only by persons
over 18 years of age.
To avoid danger to life
from electric shock:
J Do not operate the device if the mains lead or
mains plug is damaged.
Caution! A damaged mains lead presents
a serious danger to life from electric shock.
J Have repairs carried out only by an electrician
or your service centre.
J Do not touch the mains lead if it becomes damaged
or cut through while you are using the device.
Pull the plug out of the mains socket immediately and have the device repaired by a suitably
qualified person or at your service centre.
J Do not operate the device if it is damp and
do not use it in a damp environment.
J If you use the device outdoors, always connect
it through a residual current device with a maximum trip current of 30 mA. If using an extension lead, always use one that is approved for
outdoor use.
J Do not suspend or carry the device by the
mains lead.
J Always work with the mains lead leading away
from the rear of the device.
To avoid danger to life and injury:
J Danger of fire from flying sparks! Sanding metal
creates flying sparks. For this reason, always
make sure that nobody is placed in any danger
and that there are no inflammable materials
near the working area.
J When undertaking prolonged sanding of wood,
and in particular when working on materials
that give rise to dusts that are hazardous to
health, the sander must be connected to a
suitable external dust extraction device.
J Wear protective glasses, hearing protection,
dust protection mask and protective gloves.
J
hair inside a hairnet or suitable headwear.
J Ensure that there is adequate ventilation when
working on plastic, paint, varnish etc.
J The belt sander is designed for the dry sanding
of large surfaces of wood, plastic, metal and
plaster and painted surfaces. The device is to
be used for dry sanding only.
J Do not sand materials containing asbestos.
J Firmly support the workpiece (in a clamp or
vice) unless its own weight is enough to keep
it in place.
J Avoid contact with the moving sanding belt.
J Do not work on moistened materials or damp
surfaces.
J Never leave the device working unattended.
To work safely:
J If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains
plug immediately out of the mains socket.
J Never use the device for a purpose for which
it was not intended.
J Before you insert the mains plug into the socket,
always check that the device is switched off.
J Always switch on the device before placing it
against the workpiece. After sanding, lift the device
from the workpiece before switching it off.
J When working always hold the device securely
with both hands (see Fig. D). Always keep proper
footing and balance.
J Switch the device off and allow it to come to
a complete standstill before you put it down.
J When taking a break from your work, before
carrying out any tasks on the device itself (e.g.
changing the sanding belt) and when you are
not using the device, always pull the mains
plug out of the mains socket.
J Always keep the device clean, dry and free of oil
Wear close-fitting
clothing and keep long

or grease.
J Remain alert at all times! Always watch what
you are doing and proceed with caution. Do not
use the device if you cannot concentrate or you
are feeling unwell.
L Preparing for first use
Take note of the mains voltage. The mains voltage
at the mains socket must match that shown on the
rating plate on the device.
Devices marked with 230 V can also be operated
at 220 V.
L
Tensioning / changing the sanding belt
m A t t e n t i o n : Before you carry out any work on
the belt sander always pull the plug out of the
mains socket.
1) Then release the tensioner for the sanding belt
by moving the tensioning lever
(see fig. A). The tensioner is now open and the
sanding belt can be removed.
2) Next insert a new sanding belt or change the
belt for one suitable for a different material or
one with a different grit size.
Important: The direction of the arrows on the
inside of the sanding belt must agree with that
on sander housing.
3) Press the tensioning lever
initial position.
Adjusting the sanding belt
j Pick up the device, switch it on and turn it over.
Adjust the belt tracking by turning the adjuster
Y
screw
flush with and runs parallel to the edge of the
device (Fig. B.).
m A t t e n t i o n : Always make sure that the sanding
belt does not cut into the housing. Check the
sanding belt regularly and if necessary re-adjust
it using the adjuster screw
until the edge of the sanding belt is
O

O
back into its
Y
.
L Advice on use
Light sanding pressure is enough
j Apply light sanding pressure only. The weight
of the belt sander alone is adequate to produce
good sanding results. By adopting this approach
you will also prolong the life of your sanding
belts and obtain a smoother workpiece surface.
Sanding and surfaces
The sanding output and the quality of the surface
finish obtained are determined by the belt speed
and the grade of grit on the sanding belt (see the
section on “Selecting the correct rotational speed
and sanding belt”). The following basic rule applies:
the higher the rotational speed / belt speed, the
higher the sanding output and the finer the sanded
surface finish.
Sanding procedure
With the sander switched on, bring it into contact
with the workpiece and move it forward carefully.
Work in parallel and overlapping widths. Always
work in the direction of the grain to avoid undesirable
transverse sanding marks.
j The auxiliary handle
removed to allow you to sand difficult-toreach places.
L
Vacuum dust extraction
m Warning! Danger of fire! There is the danger
of fire when working with electrical devices that have
a dustbox or can be connected to a vacuum cleaner.
Under certain conditions the wood dust in the dust
collection box (or in the vacuum‘s dust bag) may
self-ignite, e.g. as a result of flying sparks generated
when abrading metals or metal objects left in wood.
This can happen particularly if the wood dust is
mixed with paint residue or other chemicals and the
abraded particles are hot from prolonged abrasion.
Therefore you must empty the device’s dust collection box and the vacuum cleaner’s dust bag before
taking a break or stopping work and always avoid
overheating of the abraded particles and the device.

L Selecting the correct rotational
speed and sanding belt
You can select the belt speed using the belt speed
adjuster wheel
The optimum belt speed depends on the workpiece
and the workpiece material. Always confirm the best
speed by carrying out a small test. The following
table lists some recommended values to help you
determine the optimum speed.
Material / type of work Softwood
Coarse finish (Grit grade) 60
Coarse finish (Grit grade) 240

Tips and tricks
j Never use the same sanding belt to sand wood
and metal.
j Worn or ripped sanding belts can damage
the workpiece. Change sanding belts at the
appropriate time.
j Keep the sanding belt properly tensioned so that
it does not hang down too much and become
unusable due to nicks, creases etc.
You can find further practical tips in the accompanying
booklet „Safety Advice“. We reserve the right to
make technical modifications in the course of
further development.
L Maintenance and cleaning
The belt sander is designed to be maintenance-free.
m Attention : Before you carry out any work on
the belt sander always pull the plug out of the
mains socket.
j Clean the device frequently. This should be done
immediately after you have finished using it.
j Use a dry cloth to clean the device - never use
petrol, solvents or cleaners that attack plastic.
j Ventilation openings must always be kept free.
j Remove any adhering dust with a narrow
paint brush.
