Product Usage Instructions

Before using the tool, read the manual thoroughly to understand the technical data, general power tool safety warnings, safety warnings for belt sander, parts, start-up, maintenance, authorized service centers, and warranty policy. To get the best performance of the tool, prolong the duty life, make the warranty valid if necessary, and avoid hazards of fatal injuries, it is important to read and understand the manual before using the tool.

When using an extension cable, verify that the gauge is enough for the power that your product needs. A lower gauge cable will cause voltage drop in the line, resulting in power loss and overheating. Refer to the table provided in the manual to determine the right size to use depending on cable’s length and the ampere capability shown in the tool’s nameplate.

Before gaining access to the terminals, all power sources should be disconnected. Keep the work area clean and well lit to avoid accidents. Do not use the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Sparks generated by power tools may ignite the flammable material. Remove any wrench or vice before turning the power tool on. Wrenches or vices left attached to rotating parts of the tool may result in personal  injury.

It is important to note that if the power cable gets damaged, it should only be replaced by the manufacturer or at an authorized service center. The build quality of the electric insulation is altered if spills or liquid gets into the tool while in use. Do not expose to rain, liquids, and/or dampness.

Safety warnings for belt sanders

Cautions with dust and residues
CAUTION

•  Observe the applicable regulations  when sanding painted surfaces. Use special care when the paint is lead-based.
• To have a safe work environment remove dust and any other debris. When possible use a vacuum cleaner or a dust recollection extractor.

CAUTION

• Everybody within the work area shall wear professional breathing devices to be protected against dust and smoke generated when sanding.
• Do not use this tool to sand pieces containing magnesium.

CAUTION

• Wear brand  professional breathing devices and cartridges suitable for working with paint dust and vapors. Regular painting masks do not offer that type of protection.

WARNING

• Children and pregnant women shall  not enter the work area.

Wear adequate clothing

WARNING

•  Wear adequate clothes. Lose  clothes, jewelry or long hair could get caught in the moving parts.

Caution with electric shock

WARNI NG
Hold the tool by the isolated grabbing surfaces. The belt could make contact with its own power cord. Making contact with a power conducting cable makes the metallic parts in the tool will also be charged with power and send an electric shock to the operator.

Parts

Belt set up

• Pull the belt tension lever until it stops.
• Choose the abrasive belt with the required grain and set it straight and centered around the rollers. Double check the arrow in the belt inner side points onto the same direction that the sander in the belt sander.
• Push the lever to set it into its initial position.
• Turn on the sander to make the belt run. While the tool is running but not making contact with any surface turn the aligning knob until the belt runs continuously in a straight way.

CAUTION The belt shall be adjusted tightly to the sander base. It shall not be loose.

Turn On and operation control

• Intermittent operation: Connect the plug to the power outlet. Press switch (A) to start the belt sander. To interrupt using just release the switch.
• Continuous Operation: Connect the plug to the power outlet. Press switch (A) and block it by pushing the continuous use button (B). To stop, press and then release the switch.

Dust collector

• To prevent dust from accumulating in the belt sander and the work place use the dust extraction duct altogether with the dust collector bag or a vacuum system if needed.
• Remove the dust bag when it is half empty and pull out the fastener (C). Pour out the dust and pat the bag to remove the dust sticked on the inner bag, or it will influence the following dust collecting.

Start up

Sanding

• To prevent striation of the piece start sanding with the sander running.
• Keep the sander moving to get a smooth and even job.
• Sanding consists in a backward and forward movement. Most of the job is made with the traction movement.
• Do not force the tool against the work piece. The sander’s own weight generates enough pressure to make a good job. Too much pressure will tear the sander’s grain, diminishing the sanding efficiency.
• Sand slowly and systematically.
• When you stop, raise the sander from the work piece before turning it off.

Wood finish

•  Assure you are selecting sanding belts with the right grain.
• For the initial sanding on an unfinished piece of wood use a belt with rough or very rough grain. Sand along the grain. Should the wood is uneven o to hard, sand diagonally (across the grain). Use care to prevent striation.
• After the preliminary operation, change the belt. Use a medium grain belt and sand along the grain. This will give a relatively smooth an even finish.
• For the final finish set a fine grain belt. Always sand along the grain to remove scratches left by the rougher belts. For a good finish use long and light passes.
• As a final touch, the experts usually set a fine sanding belt used to get a smooth surface, to fill, seal, plane or spray.

Metal finish

• To work on ferrous metal, like steel, stainless steel, iron, etc., use rough or fine grain belts, regarding the desired finish. Non-ferrous metal such as aluminum, tin-plate soldering, brass, bronze, etc., can also be sanded.
• To minimize the load and prolong the belts’ working time use some lubricant for sanding, polishing, or for satin finish of metals. Just rub the lubricant onto the belt every now and then. Also, you can use SAE No. 10 or 20 lubricant oil to assure a smooth and scratch-less surface.

Maintenance

Cleaning and care

• Keep the motor housing ventilation slots clean and uncovered.
• Apply compressed air after each use.
• In case of malfunctioning go only to a Authorized Service Center

Carbon brush replacement

• Replace worn (burnt, broken or smaller than 0.19” long) carbon brushes. Use new carbons.
• When replacing carbons always replace both carbons at the same time.
• To access the worn carbons, first remove the carbon´s cover with the help of a flat screwdriver
• Place the new carbons (They should fall into the carbon holders easily and slide without getting stuck).
• Place the cover again and allow the machine to run for a few minutes without workload so that the carbon brushes adjust better.
• Use only original spare carbon  brushes, designed specifically with the right strength and electric resistance for each type of motor. Carbon brushes with different specifications may damage the motor.
