Do not bring the sanding belt against the surface before the machine has reached the full speed.
To turn the belt sander off flip the ON/OFF switch (1) to the OFF (0) position.

Regulating the Speed

Operation Instruction

Hints on the safe Use of the Belt Sander

If possible, place the work pieces in a vice or secure them to a workbench or other solid base.
When using the file on wood, it should be used in the direction of the fibers whenever possible to avoid ripping fibers from the wood.
If very wide work pieces are machined, it is advisable to align the machine in such a way that it covers as much of the surface as possible at the same time to achieve a smooth and level surface.
Before each use, make sure the sanding belt is free from damage and can move freely.
The edges of the belt should not be frayed and the seam must be in good condition.
The unit should be clean and there should be no parts missing.
If you hear unusual sounds during operation or abnormal vibration occurs, stop operating the unit and check the correct fit of the sanding belt and the sanding arm.
If the fault cannot be remedied, have the belt sander checked by a professional.

Maintenance and Cleaning

First unplug from power mains before cleaning or maintaining the unit.
Regularly brush or wipe the dust off the unit.
Please keep in mind that the dust may be hazardous.
For cleaning the housing use a moist cloth, or for harmless dust, a stiff brush.
Do not immerse the machine in liquids of any kind and do not allow liquids to enter the machine.
The unit does not require further maintenance.
Do not disassemble it and do not attempt to repair it yourself.
In the case of questions or problems, please turn to our customer support department.
Enclosed in delivery you will find a pair of carbon brushes.
If the machine works powerless and sparking occurs at the brushes, it may be a sign that the carbon brushes are used up and have to be replaced.
