AF11 BELT SANDER
Important note
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE OF THE SANDER
Read carefully the GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS LEAFLET, which is included
in the machine documentation.
• Before starting up the machine make sure that the
supply voltage is the same as that shown on the label
stuck to the supply cable.
• When turning on the sander, check that the belt turns
in the direction indicated by arrow B (Fig. 1). If not, the
order of the connection cables in the mains supply plug
must be inverted.
• Always keep hands clear of the sanding area, and
always hold the machine using the grips.
• Always use original VIRUTEX spares.
• The dust that accumulates during the sanding process
may prove to be toxic or harmful to the health (for
example, in the case of lead-based paints, certain woods
or metals). Use the dust collector connection at all times.
• It is necessary to work with dust collection in order to
prolong the life of the belt and prevent any breakages.
• Always wear earplugs when using belt sanders.

3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AF11
Highly efficient for levelling and hewing. Its large sanding
area increases its productivity and gives a finish free from
grooves. It is equipped with internal tungsten-carbide
stops to avoid deterioration of the housing caused by
movement of the belt.
To obtain maximum efficiency you should work using
only the machine's own weight so that the belt works
at the correct speed determined by the motor at maximum efficiency. Overworking the machine only gives
rise to a reduction in belt speed which decreases the
working capacity.
The machine is equipped with a dust collector connection which can be used for connection to our AS182K,
AS282K dust collector or any industrial equivalent via
the DUST COLLECTOR ATTACHMENT TUBE (ref. 6446073/
optional accessorie).
4. CHANGING THE BELT
Disconnect the machine from the mains
before carrying out this operation
In order to change the belt pull lever "A" as indicated
in the (Fig. 1), remove the used belt and replace it with
another, original VIRUTEX belt, making sure that the
arrows printed on the inside are pointing in the same
direction as arrow "B". To secure the belt, repeat the
above procedure in reverse order.
5. CENTRING THE BELT
To centre the belt (Fig. 2) turn the regulating knob "C"
whilst the machine is running until the belt is centred.
Never allow the belt to rub against the aluminium casing
as it will then no longer be useable (Fig. 3).
Use original VIRUTEX belts (690x100) and fit them so
that they tensioned and centred.

7. CHANGE OF VOLTAGE
Disconnect the machine from the mains
before performing this operation.
The machines leave the factory connected to operate at
the voltage indicated on the label stuck to the supply
cable. The working voltage may be changed by following
the plan in (Fig. 5).
