4.3.2 Fig.4 shows the sanding table in place, pivoting around point

(A) and held in place by clamping knob (B). Place the mitre

guide (C) into the slot in the table when required.

fig.5

4.5.3 Firstly, loosen the clamping nut with a 6mm hex key (Y).

4.5.4 Lift the belt assembly into the vertical position (or any angle in between) and fully re-tighten the clamping nut.

4.5.5 Re-attach the work support table/guard and fully tighten the two

fixing screws ensuring that there is at least 1.5mm clearance between the guard and the surface of the belt.

4.5.6 To return to the horizontal position, reverse the process just described.

WARNING! Never use the sanding belt without the work

support/guard attached.

4.4 Attaching the sanding belt work support/guard.

4.4.1 Referring to fig.5 above, position the slotted mounting leg of

the work support/guard over the two threaded holes in the side

of the belt housing and fix in place using the two socket cap screws and washers provided. Screw them down, finger tight only at this stage. Supporting the underside of the work

support/guard, lift it slightly so that there is at least 1.5mm of

clearance between the support and the surface of the belt and

then fully tighten the bolts using a 6mm hex key.

fig.6

fig.7

4.6 Belt tracking control (minor adjustment). (See fig.7A)

4.6.1 The sanding belt tracking is factory set so that the belt will run

true on the rollers. If however the belt should begin to deviate

from true it can be corrected using the tracking adjustment

control knob seen in fig.7A. Turning the knob clockwise will cause the belt to move towards the front of the machine (i.e. the disc side). Turning the knob counter clockwise will cause the belt to move towards the back of the machine.

fig.8

4.5 Changing the sanding belt orientation. (See fig.6)

4.5.1 The sanding belt can be used either horizontally, vertically or at any angle in between, but must be locked in the chosen position using the clamping nut (X) situated to one side of the drive drum.

4.5.2 To change from the horizontal to the vertical position it is advisable to remove the work support to give easier access to the clamping nut.

4.7 Changing the sanding belt.

4.7.1 Before the sanding belt can be changed, the protective cover on the back/underside of the belt assembly must be removed.

4.7.2 Move the belt assembly into the vertical position as described

in Section 4 and loosen the two screws indicated in fig.8.

4.7.3 Unhook the cover from the sanding belt assembly by lifting it up and away from the sander. Put to one side.

4.7.4 Release the tension from the belt by pulling open the

tensioning lever as indicated in fig.7B.

4.7.5 Slide the old belt off the rollers. Slide the new belt into position on the rollers and re-tension it as described below.

4.7.6 Take hold of the belt tensioning lever and ease it back into

position taking care not to trap you fingers behind the lever.



WARNING! In the open position the lever is spring loaded and

will snap shut if pushed.

4.8 Tracking adjustment of new belt. (See fig.7A)

4.8.1 When a new belt is fitted the full tracking procedure should be

followed.

4.8.2 To check if the belt is tracking correctly, turn the sander on and

off again immediately and note how the belt is running. If the belt runs true on its rollers with no deviation, no tracking

adjustment is required.

4.8.3 If however the belt should begin to deviate from true it can be corrected using the tracking adjustment control knob seen in

fig.7A. Turning the knob clockwise by a ¼ turn will cause the belt to move towards the front of the machine (i.e. the disc side). Turning the knob counter clockwise by a ¼ turn will cause the belt to move towards the back of the machine.

4.9 Dust extraction port. (See fig.1M)

4.9.1 Where available the sander should always be connected to a

dust extraction system via the Ø62mm port provided on the left hand side of the machine. It is also recommended that the operator should still wear respiratory protection as a dust extraction system cannot eliminate all dust produced during the sanding process.

5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS



WARNING! DO NOT allow two people to use the sander at the same time. Remember that even though you are using only one of the sanding facilities, the other is still turning and could represent a hazard to you or other people nearby.

5.1 Using the sanding disc.

5.1.1 Ensure that the work support table is correctly fixed to the

sander. Adjust the angle of the table and/or mitre guide as required by the job in hand.

5.1.2 Plug the sander into the mains power supply.
