Do not expose power tools to rain. Don’t use power
tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well
lit. Don’t use power tools in presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
3. Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces (e.g.
pipes, radiators, ranges refrigerators).

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY (UK)
GRIP
The use of the belt sander is made easier because of the
two grips one on the front side and one on the back.
Through that you can hold the machine with two hands,
you have a better control of the machine and there is less
risk to become in touch with the moving parts. Hold the
belt sander always with both hands.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure that the machine has reached its full speed
before placing the machine on the work piece. This will
prevent an overload of the machine.
For sanding wood, place the machine approximately 15°
out of the grains of the wood. Move the belt sander conti-
nuous over the work piece.
TROUBLESHOOTING
In case the belt sander does not work well, we give you
some possible causes and solutions.
1. The electromotor gets hot
The cool ventilation slots in the motor are stopped
up with dirt
-Clean the cool ventilation slots
The motor is defect
-Have your belt sander repaired or checked by
your local Powercraft dealer
2. The belt sander does not work
Interruption in the mains connection
-Check mains connection for fracture
-Have your belt sander repaired or checked by
your local Powercraft dealer
3. The dust is not absorbed
This can be caused by a stopped up dust extraction
-Clean your dust collection opening
Repairing of electric appliances may be carried out
only by experts.
MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is not live when car-
rying out maintenance work on the motor.
The Powercraft machines have been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of mainte-
nance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon
proper machine care and regular cleaning.
Cleaning
Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to pre-
vent overheating of the motor.
Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free
from dust and dirt.
If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened
with soapy water. Never use solvents such as petrol,
alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may
damage the plastic parts.
Lubrication
The machine requires no additional lubrication.
Faults
Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please con-
tact your local Powercraft dealer.
In the back of this manual you find an exploded view
showing the parts that can be ordered.
ENVIRONMENT
In order to prevent the machine from damage during
transport, it is delivered in a sturdy packaging. Most of
the packaging materials can be recycled. Take these
materials to the appropriate recycling locations.
Take your unwanted machines to your local Powercraft-
dealer. Here they will be disposed of in an environmen-
tally safe way.

your head.
-Do not bring pressure to your machine, this will only
delay the sanding.
OPERATION
Always observe the safety instructions and applica-
ble regulations.
CHOICE OF THE SAND-PAPER
Coarse sand-paper (grain 50) removes in general the big-
ger part of the material and fine sand-paper is used for the
finishing. If the surface is not even, then start with rough
sand-paper. Further you use middle coarse sand-
paper(grain 80) to remove the scratches left behind by
the coarse sand-paper and finally you take fine sand-
paper (grain 120) for the finishing.
REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE SAN-
DING BELT
Before assembly the sanding belt always remove
the plug from the mains.
•Put the machine on its side, with the drive belt cover
(10, fig. A) down wards
•Loosen the sanding belt fastener (7, fig A)
•Remove the sanding belt from the machine
•Put a new sanding belt on the machine, make sure
that the direction arrows on the sanding belt are
pointing in the same direction as the direction indica-
tor (9, fig. A)
•Fasten the sanding belt fastener again (7, fig. A)
ALIGNING THE SANDING BELT
If the sanding belt does not run parallel with the outer
edge of the housing, the sanding belt must be aligned.
Move the sanding belt in the correct position with the
adjusting knob (6 fig. A). By turning the adjusting knob
clockwise the sanding belt will move to the inside and by
turning anti-clockwise the sanding belt will move to the
outside.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
•To switch the machine on press the on/off switch
(1 fig. A).
•To switch the machine off release the on/off switch
(1 fig. A).

•Press the blocking switch (4 fig. A) and release the
on/off switch
•To switch the machine off press the on/off switch
again and release the on/off switch
