Sanding belt replacement
See illustration on page 3.
- Release the tensioner arm (6) and remove the
sanding belt (7).
- Place the new sanding belt on the rollers such that
its direction of circulation (arrows on the inside of
the sanding belt) matches the arrow (10) on the
gearbox.
- Release the tensioner arm (6).
- Ensure that the sanding belt is completely on the
rollers.

Sanding procedure
Place the machine on the material such that the
sanding belt is parallel to the surface of the
workpiece.
When working, please ensure that the machine is
operated at right angles to the pipe so that the belt
does not fall off the rollers.
Using the additional handle, the belt can be pressed
against the pipe and at same time placed around it.
The angle of contact and the cutting output may be
changed by the contact pressure.
Keep the machine in constant motion because
otherwise recesses could be produced in the
material.
7. Cleaning, maintenance
Motor cleaning: blow compressed air through the
rear ventilation slots of the machine regularly,
frequently and thoroughly. Here, the machine must
be held firmly.
