SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
Ensure that the belt disc sander is correctly turned off when not in use and store in a
safe, dry area, out of reach of children.

If a problem with the belt disc sander is experienced, or if the mains lead or plug be-
come damaged, contact your distributor for repair.
The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used
on business premises, are tested by a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
CAUTION: The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual can
not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be
understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product, but must be applied.
When using the sander always ensure the operator as well as those in the
area wear eye protection.
Sanding operations will cause dust to become airborne with the potential
to be highly toxic; always wear a face mask during these operations, as
well as ensuring the area is well ventilated. It is also highly recommended
to use a dust collector to reduce airborne particles.
When using this sander, it is advisable to ensure the operator as well as
those in the area wear ear protection, particularly during extended peri-
ods of use.
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand
and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe.
You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other connectors for wear or
damage.
You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appro-
priate safety devices; A residual current circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated
in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a residual current
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products
that are plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt
consult a qualified electrician.
Connecting to the power supply:
This SIP sander is fitted with a standard 230v ~ 13 amp type plug. Before using the
heater, inspect the mains lead and plug to ensure that neither are damaged. If any
damage is visible have the heater inspected / repaired by a suitably qualified per-
son. If it is necessary to replace the plug a heavy duty impact resistant plug would be
preferable.

Note: Always make sure the mains supply is of the correct voltage and the
correct fuse protection is used. In the event of replacing the fuse always
replace the fuse with the same value as the original.
Note: If an extension lead is required in order to reach the mains supply;
ensure that this too is rated for the correct voltage and fuse rating.
Note: The cross section of the extension lead should be checked so that it
is of sufficient size so as to reduce the chances of voltage drops.
Warning: Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of the
plug. Only fit an approved plug with the correct rated fuse (5 amp). If in
doubt consult a qualified electrician.

As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the markings in your plug, pro-
ceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue, must be connected to the terminal
marked with N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown, must be connect-
ed to the terminal, which is marked L or coloured red. The wire which is coloured yel-
low / green should be connected to the terminal which is coloured the same or
marked
Always secure the wires in the plug terminal carefully and tight-
ly. Secure the cable in the cord grip carefully.
The wires for the plug are coloured in the following way:

CARE AND MAINTENANCE….cont
Remove the belt cover which is secured by 3 x cross head screws.
Using a 12 mm spanner loosen (do not remove) the four bolts shown in diagram.
This allows the belt assembly to drop sufficiently to remove the old belt and replace
with a new one. Once the new belt is fitted lift the assembly as high as possible and
tighten the four bolts up using the 12 mm spanner.
Check the belt tension by placing fingers on either side of the belt and squeeze. Cor-
rect tension will allow approximately 6 mm deflection in the belt.
Replace the belt cover.

Slide the belt tensioning lever (item 2 on page 9) to slacken the belt.
Unscrew the knurled bolt from the side of the belt table and remove.
Unscrew the two black knobs which hold the rear fence on the belt table, and
remove.
The sanding belt can now be removed from the table. Follow this procedure in reverse
order to replace with new belt.
Remove the sanding table as required.
Remove the two screws securing the lower disc
guard.
Remove the backing from the abrasive disc and
align it with the aluminium sanding disc - Press firmly
to secure.
Replace the lower disc guard.
Replace the sanding table as required.
Replacing The Sanding Disc:
Once a new belt has been fitted it is
likely that the belt will require tracking to
keep the belt running central to the ta-
ble.
To do this rotate the black knob (whilst
the disc sander is running) as indicated
in the diagram, turning clockwise or an-
ticlockwise until the belt runs centrally on
the table.
