SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety. a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat,oil,sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD) protected supply. This can help to minimise
the risk of an electrical shock if an earth fault or short circuits occurs.
g. If using a power cable extension ensure that the cable is fully unwound
and that its length is less than 30m. Lengths over 30m will effect the tools performance as a result of voltage drop.
3. Personal safety. a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-
Page 5
800W BELT SANDER TTB136SDR
position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use
of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care. a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service. a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.

HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING! When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will be
produced. In some instances, depending on the materials you are working with, this dust can be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint). You are advised to consider the risks associated with the materials you are working with and to reduce the risk of exposure. You should:
- Work in a well-ventilated area.
-Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter microscopic particles.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SANDER
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
1. If the supply cord is damaged have it replaced by a qualified person.
2.Never use this sander for wet sanding or liquid polishing. Failure to follow this rule may result in risk of electrical shock.
3.Always inspect and remove all nails and screws etc from timber before sanding.
4.Ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped to prevent movement.
5.Your sander is a hand held tool, do not clamp your finishing sander.
6.Never stop the sander by applying a force to the base plate.
7.Only use sanding paper in good condition. Do not use torn or worn sanding paper.
8.Do not eat or drink in the working area of the sander.
9.Do not allow people to enter the working area without wearing a dust mask.
10.Where possible, seal off the working area to contain the dust for later removal.

VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool. Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN60745:
Work mode description 1 Vibration emission value ah = 4.38m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should be used with the current guidance on vibration. Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE website has further information.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can
differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:­How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled. The tool being in good condition and well maintained The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition. The tightness of the grip on the handles. And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequate­ly managed
Warning: identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).Note The use of other tools will reduce the users’ total working period on this tool.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk. ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated
Page 8
(where appropriate)
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10°C or less Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days. Health Surveillance All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to help identity any vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease progression and help employees stay in work.
DOUBLE INSULATION: The tool is double insulated. This means that all the external metal parts are electrically insulated from the mains power supply. This is done by placing insulation barriers between the electrical and mechanical components making it unnecessary for the tool to be earthed.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your tool rating plate voltage. Remove the mains plug from socket before carrying out any adjustment or servicing.

6. REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES (See Fig. H)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. When they are worn to length of about 6mm, both carbon brushes should be replaced with new ones at the same time. When changing worn carbon brushes, use a slotted screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and make sure the carbon brushes moving freely in the brush holders. Finally, secure the brush holder caps.
7. INSPECTING THE SANDING BELT
Since continued use of a worn-out sanding belt will degrade efficiency, replace the sanding belt as soon as excessive abrasion is noted.
CLEANING
The air-vent of the tool should be cleaned regularly to prevent the motor from become too hot due to air-vent blockage. Attention: Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Remove the pieces and all sending dust with a broom and clean tack cloth.
8. DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT (See Fig. I, J)
WARNING! Remove the main plug
from the socket before carrying out a drive belt replacement. Do not attempt to remove the drive belt until the belt wheel has cooled down.
Remove the screws and the belt cover as shown. 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 rotating clockwise and pushing the drive belt shown around the small pulley at the same time. The drive belt will be a tight fit.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR SANDER
1. Your sander is useful for working on wood, metal, painted surface. It will smooth surfaces prior to painting, even where fillers have been used and left proud.
2. Your sander is best suited to large flat areas such as doors but can also be used on skirting boards, windows, etc, provided they are accessible.
3. Different types of sanding belt will allow the sander to meet various needs. Different grades of sanding belt are available, the higher grade number, the finer the grit. For rough work start with a low grade of grit (i.e. 60 grade) and change to a higher, finer grade (i.e. 100 or 120) for finishing. If you use a fine grade for rough surfaces it will soon clog and need changing.
4. At all times, let the sander do the work-do not force it or apply excessive pressure to the sanding belt.
5. If the surface shows excessive making from the abrasive motion, you may be using a grit which is too coarse or applying too much pressure.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
