[. . . ] In addition, please read the advice in the accompanying booklet called "Safety advice" before using the equipment for the first time. The PEBS 900 belt sander is designed for dry sanding of large surfaces of wood, plastic, metal and ­ with increased removal rate ­ plaster and painted surfaces. If the mains cable becomes damaged or cut through whilst you are working, never touch the cable ­ pull the plug out of the mains socket immediately. When working always keep the cable running away from the back of the machine. [. . . ] IMPORTANT: The direction of the arrow on the inside of the sanding belt must agree with that on sander housing (see Fig. 3) Fully tension the sanding belt ­ turn the tensioning lever I back into its initial position. Adjust the belt tracking by turning the adjuster screw º until the edge of the sanding belt is flush with and runs parallel to the slider plate. Check the sanding belt regularly and re-adjust if necessary using the adjuster screw º. Always switch on the belt sander before making contact with the material and only then guide the sander on to the workpiece. uSE LIGHT SANDING PRESSURE ONLY Use the lightest possible pressure when sanding. The self-weight of the belt sander alone is quite sufficient for good sanding performance. In addition, by working this way you will achieve a smoother surface and use less energy. MATERIAL REMOVED AND SURFACE FINISH The amount of material removed by sanding and the quality of the surface finish achieved depend on the belt speed and the grit size of the sanding belt (see section on "Belt speed and sanding sheet"). The following basic rules apply: the higher the rpm/belt speed you use, the more material is removed and the finer is the sanded surface. SANDING PROCEDURE With the sander switched on, bring it into contact with the workpiece and move it forward carefully. Vacuum extraction of dust makes disposal easier, prevents the build up of stubborn dust deposits and keeps dust out of the air you are breathing. It will also prevent sanding debris from getting on to the workpiece surface and leaving grease or burn marks. pull the dust collection bag µ over the supplied adapter and attach it to the dust extraction spout ¶. The stirrup-shaped adapter ensures that the dust collection bag is fully opened out to accept the sanding dust (see Fig. If there is an explosive mixture of dust and air you must use a vacuum device especially intended for that purpose. ATTENTION - DANGER OF FIRE: Do not use vacuum dust extraction (dust bag or vacuum cleaner) when sanding metals (flying sparks). nOTE · Always move the belt sander over the workpiece surface with both hands using even movements.
