OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

DUST COLLECTION

Warning! Before installing dust bag, unplugthe belt sander from its source of power.

When using your belt sander, dust and grit

are produced, therefore it is important to usea dust bag (A) Fig.5. Connect the dust bag

nozzle to the dust collection port on the beltsander.

Caution! Do not allow the dust bag to get too

full. Empty the dust bag regularly to improve the dust collection, this will also reduce therisk of spontaneous combustion especially when sanding polyurethane, varnish, etc. Do

not dispose of the dust particules in an open fire. You should always empty the dust bagbefore each time you store the tool away.

Caution! When working on metal surfaces, do not use the dust bag or a vacuumcleaner because sparks are generated.Wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Due tothe danger of fire, do not use your belt sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use

for wet sanding.

SANDING LEAD BASED PAINT

Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficultiescontrolling the contaminated dust, children and pregnant women run the greatest risks

of lead posioning.

OPERATION HINTS

For best results, it is important to lay the platen (sander base) flat on the workpiece while

sanding to prevent gouging. Always start your belt sanding before it is in contact with theworkpiece. When possible, clamp your workpiece to a work bench. Use the correct grit

sanding belt for your application. 60 Grit-paint removal, 80 Grit- Solid wood/steel, 100Grit- plastic/acrylic.

MAINTAINING YOUR BELT SANDER

Never apply excessive force on your belt sander, overloading and motor damage couldhappen. Always keep the air cooling vents clear of debris using a clean dry paint brush.

Compressed air is not recommended because of the air borne dust particules it creates.
