Intended use
The tool is intended for the sanding of large surface of
wood, plastics and metal materials as well as painted
surfaces.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.
For public low-voltage distribution systems of
between 220 V and 250 V
Switching operations of electric apparatus cause voltage
fluctuations. The operation of this device under unfavor-
able mains conditions can have adverse effects to the
operation of other equipment. With a mains impedance
equal or less than 0.43 Ohms it can be presumed that
there will be no negative effects.
The mains socket used for this device must be protected
with a fuse or protective circuit breaker having slow trip-
ping characteristics.
Safety hints
For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed safety
instructions.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to belt sander safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious per-
sonal injury.
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
2. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.

CAUTION:
When installing the belt, make sure that the direction of
the arrow on the back of the belt corresponds to the one
on the tool itself.
Adjusting belt tracking (Fig. 3)
While the belt is running, use the adjusting knob to center
the belt tracking.
Dust bag (Fig. 4 & 5)
Attach the dust bag onto the dust nozzle. The dust noz-
zle is tapered. When attaching the dust bag, push it onto
the dust nozzle firmly as far as it will go to prevent it from
coming off during operation. For the best results, empty
the dust bag when it becomes about half full, tapping it
lightly to remove as much dust as possible.
