[. . . ] Operation in your selected mode is as follows: SWITCH ON INTERMITTENT MODE: Press the ON/OFF switch ´ SWITCH OFF INTERMITTENT MODE: Release the ON/OFF switch ´ SWITCH ON CONTINUOUS MODE: Press the ON/OFF switch ´ and secure it in the pressed position with the locking knob ¿ SWITCH OFF CONTINUOUS MODE: Press the ON/OFF switch ´ and then release it TENSIONING/CHANGING THE SANDING BELT ATTENTION: Before you carry out any work on the belt sander always pull the plug out of the mains socket. 1) Release the tensioner for the sanding belt by turning the tensioning lever ¾ fully outwards (see figure ). 2) Next insert a new sanding belt or change the belt for one suitable for a different material or one with a different grit. 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 ¾ 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. 5 ADVICE ON SANDING 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. Continue sanding using overlapping strokes parallel to the belt track. Always work in the direction of the grain to avoid undesirable transverse sanding marks. VACUUM EXTRACTION OF DUST Wear a dust mask!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. You can also attach a domestic vacuum cleaner to the dust extraction spout ¶ (see Fig. Do not use the domestic vacuum cylinder to extract an explosive mixture of dust and air.
