9. Operation

m WARNING!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before start-up!
9.1. Mounting sander to work bench
If your belt/disc sander is to be used in a permanent
location, it is recommended you secure it to a work-
bench or other stable surface.
• Mark holes on workbench where belt/disc sander
is to be mounted using holes in the base as a tem-
plate for hole pattern.
• Drill holes through workbench.
• Place belt/disc sander on workbench aligning holes
in the base with holes drilled in the workbench.
• Insert bolts (not included) and tighten securely with
lock washers and hex nuts (not included). Note: All
bolts should be inserted from the top. Install the
lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of
the workbench.
9.2. Clamping sander to work bench
If your sander is to be used as a portable tool, it is rec-
ommended you fasten it permanently to a mounting
board that can easily be clamped to a workbench or
other stable surface.
The mounting board should be of sufficient size to
avoid tipping while belt/disc sander is in use. Any
good grade plywood or chipboard with a 3/4 in.
(19 mm) thickness is recommended.
• Mark holes on board where belt/disc sander is to
be mounted using holes in the base as a template
for hole pattern.
• Follow last three steps in section Mounting Belt/
Disc Sander to Workbench.
If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough
to go through holes in belt/disc sander base and
material the belt/ disc sander is being mounted to.
If machine bolts are used, make sure bolts are long
enough to go through holes in belt/disc sander, the
material being mounted to, and the lock washers and
hex nuts.
9.3. On/Off switch (3)
• The grinder/sander can be switched on by pressing
the green button „1".
• To switch off the grinder/sander you must press the
red button „0".
m WARNING: Do not reach across the sanding disc
to turn the belt/disc sander ON or OFF. Contact with
the sanding disc can result in serious personal injury.

• To prevent the abrasive paper from becoming worn
on one side, the workpiece should be moved to
and from on the grindinög/sanding belt or grinding/
sanding plate as you grind/sand.
• IMPORTANT! Pieces of wood should always be
sanded with the grain to prevent them splitting. Im-
portant. If the grinding wheel or the grinding/sand-
ing belt becomes jammed during operation, please
remove the workpiece until the tool reaches its top
speed again.
9.5. Bevel sanding (Fig. 15)
The worktable can be tilted from 0° to 45° for bevel
sanding. To tilt the worktable:
• Loosen the fixing screw (4).
• Push the lever (15) down.
• Set worktable to desired angle.
• Retighten the fixing screw (4) again.
9.6. Surface sanding on the sanding belt
• Hold the workpiece firmly, keeping fingers away
from the sanding belt.
• Keep the end pressed firmly against the work sup-
port moving work evenly across the sanding belt.
Note: Use extra caution when sanding very thin
pieces and when sanding extra long pieces, re-
move the work support. Apply only enough pres-
sure to allow the sanding belt to remove the ma-
terial.

10. Electrical connection

The installed electric motor is connected and is ready
to work. The connection complies with the relevant
VDE and DIN regulations.
The customer-side mains supply and the used exten-
sion line must meet these regulations.
Defective Electric Connection Lines
Often, insulation damages occur on electrical con-
nection lines.
Causes are:
• Drag marks if connection lines are led through win-
dow or door clearances.
• Kinks due to improper attachment or routing of the
connection line.
• Cuts caused by running over the connection line.
• Insulation damages caused by pulling the connec-
tion line out of the wall socket.
• Fissures caused by the ageing of the insulation.
Such defective electric connection lines must not be
used and are hazardous due to the insulation dam-
ages.
Regularly check the electrical connection lines for
damages. Please make sure that the connection lines
are disconnected from the mains supply during the
check.
