4. CHANGING A SANDING BELT (See Fig. B, C)
WARNING!WARNING! Remove the
main plug from the socket before
changing sanding belt.
Pull the lever (7) to release the belt tension.
Remove and fit a new belt over both rollers.
Ensure the direction of rotation arrows on the
belt and the sander are the same. Close the
lever to tension the belt.
5. BELT CENTERING CONTROL (See Fig. D)
WARNING! Wear eye protection
before carrying out a belt centering
adjustment.
Turn the machine upside down, hold it firmly
with one hand, start the motor and release the
switch immediately after observing tracking
of sanding belt. If abrasive belt runs outward,
turn tracking adjustment knob counter-
clockwise and clockwise if belt runs inward.
Adjust the belt until the outer edge of the belt
is even with the outer edge of the base-plate
(12). Belt life will be greatly increased by
keeping the tracking adjustment set properly.
6. DUST BAG (See Fig. E)
Always operate your sander with the dust bag
fitted. For the best performance always empty
the dust bag in time. Remove the shaft from
the dust bag and shake out dust.To remove
the bag, slide the mounting bracket out and
away from the sander. To refit the bag, firmly
push the mounting bracket into the location
on the sander housing.

ADAPTER (See Fig. F, G)
Your sander is equipped with two dust
extraction adapters, which are designed for
connecting the hose of a vacuum cleaner.
Insert the 35mm adapter (13a) into the outlet
until it is secured (See F), then insert the 32
mm adapter (13b) into the back of the 35 mm
adapter (Fig. G).
