Safety Precautions

WARNING:

As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation

and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of

personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or

ignored, personal injury to the operator or damage to property, may result.

1. ALWAYS Learn the machines applications, limitations and the

specific potential hazards peculiar to it. Read and become familiar

with the entire operating manual.

2. ALWAYS use a face or dust mask if operation is particularly dusty.

3. ALWAYS check for damage. Before using the machine, any

damaged part, should be checked to ensure that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment

of moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings and any other

condition that may affect the machines operation. Any damage should be properly

repaired or the part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT use the machine. Consult your

local dealer.

4. ALWAYS disconnect the machine from the power supply before servicing and when

changing accessories.

5. ALWAYS wear safety goggles, manufactured to the latest European Safety Standards.

Everyday eyeglasses do not have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety

glasses.

6. ALWAYS keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and

benches invite accidents.

Additional Precautions For Belt and Disk Sanders

1. ALWAYS wear ear protectors/defenders when using this machine.

2. ALWAYS wear a dust mask when using this machine. Be aware of harmful or

toxic dusts produced when sanding some woods, lead paint etc.

3. ALWAYS use the sandbelt support or table to support the workpiece.

4. ALWAYS check to ensure the table, sand belt support and attachments are

secure before starting.

5. ALWAYS maintain a clearance of 1.5 - 2 mm between table and sanding

belt or disc.

6. ALWAYS hold the workpiece firmly so that it cannot be ripped from your hands

7. ALWAYS feed the workpiece against the direction of rotation of the disc. i.e the LEFT

side of the disk

8. ALWAYS keep the mains cable well away from the machine and ensure an

adequate electrical supply is close at hand so that the operation is not

restricted by the length of the cable.

9. ALWAYS use a dust extraction device, properly connected to the dust

extraction port

10. ALWAYS ensure that nails or any foreign objects have been removed from a

workpiece beforehand. Nails etc., will destroy the belt or disk.

11. NEVER allow the ventilation slots in the motor to become blocked.

12. NEVER sand pieces which cannot be held firmly by hand.

Pre-Assembly Check

WARNING: The use of any accessory/attachment, other than those

recommended in this instruction manual, may present a risk of

personal injury.

Assembly

1. Belt Table

• Gently ease the table into place with

the belt support entering the slot in

the table.

• Screw the Table Locking Lever into

place, ensuring a flat washer is used

on the levers’ threads noting that

the locking lever has a LEFT HAND

thread, i.e. turn anticlockwise to

tighten.

2. Disk Table

• Slide the table pegs (Fig 2) into

the slots in the Upper Disk Cover

(Fig. 3) to the extent that the

Locking Levers can be screwed

in as shown in Fig. 4, ensuring flat

washers are used on the locking

lever threads

• With the table secured, position the

Disk Cover/Dust Extraction Port as

shown, with the locating pin on the

cover ‘A’, engaged in the slot in the

hinged cover ‘B’.

• Secure with four screws (arrowed)

3. Feet

The four feet may be very gently eased into the holes at the base of the machine.

Alternatively, the machine may be mounted on a workbench or a wooden base, using

the four holes in the base as mounting holes. In order to maintain complete stability

when in use, the wooden base should be secured to a workbench using ‘G’ clamps.

Important Adjustments - Before Use

1. Belt Table Adjustment

• With the belt correctly tensioned (see

Maintenance), adjust the Belt

Support so that it is square and bears

very lightly on the back of the

Sanding Belt.

Ensure the two hex socket head

securing screws (arrowed) are tight.

A hex. socket wrench is provided.

• Slacken the Table Locking Lever and

position the table so that a gap of

1.5 - 2 mm exists between the slot

in the table and the belt, then lightly

secure the table using the locking

lever.

• Place an engineers square on the table

so that it butts up against the belt, then

unlock the adjuster by unscrewing the

locknut at 7B. Screw the adjuster 7A,

clockwise or anticlockwise whilst

bearing down on the table at a point

adjacent to screw 7A, until the square

indicates that the table is at right angles.

• Lock the adjuster, ensuring the nut is

tight, then, maintaining pressure on the

table, finally secure the table using the

locking lever. by turning anticlockwise.

• Finally, check to ensure the gap

between the table and belt is between

1.5 - 2 mm.

2. Disk Table Adjustment

• Place an engineers square on the table

and slacken the locking levers slightly.

• Adjust the table so it is at right

angles to the Disc, using the

square, then tighten the locking levers.

• If necessary, adjust the pointer, adjacent

to the angle indicator beneath the

table, (B Fig.4), so that it registers zero

• Slacken the upper disc cover securing

• It is possible to set the table to any angle up to 45 degrees, simply by slackening

the locking lever and positioning the table using a protractor or angle setter,

then retightening the locking lever.

screws (A Fig.4) using the wrench supplied, and adjust so that a gap of 2-3mm exists

between the disc and table, and the table is square. Tighten the securing screws.

• It is possible to set the table to any angle up to 45 degrees, simply by slackening

the locking levers and positioning the table using the angle indicator, then

retightening the locking levers. If the angle is critical, a protractor or angle

setter should be used.

• If required, slide the Quadrant into its groove in the table.

NOTE: The quadrant may be used to hold a workpiece at any desired angle

for sanding that angle with accuracy.

Operation

IMPORTANT!

Ensure that ALL components are secure, ALL correct adjustments have been

carried out, and ALL safety precautions have been observed BEFORE plugging

the machine into the mains supply, and switching ON.

1. Attach a vacuum cleaner or other dust extraction device to the relevant

extraction port (depending upon the medium to be used), and switch it ON.

2. Switch the machine ON by pressing the Green ON button.

3. If using the belt, check to ensure it is tracking properly...adjust if necessary.

4. Holding the workpiece firmly, place it on the table and gently slide it into contact

with the belt or disk. DO NOT force it, a light

force only is necessary.

IMPORTANT!

When using the sanding disk, ALWAYS use

the left half of the disk ONLY, i.e. that ,

side where the direction of rotation of the

disk is down towards the table.

Maintenance

1. Changing the Sanding Belt

1.1 Remove the belt table completely by

unscrewing and removing the table

locking lever.

1.2 Remove the two side cover securing screws

(9A), followed by the upper roller pivot

screw (9B), then pull off the side cover.

1.3 Turn Adjuster (10C) anticlockwise

sufficiently for the sanding belt to

be slipped off the rollers.

1.4 Replace the sanding belt ensuring

it is central about the rollers, and

the arrow (10D) is pointing down

towards he table.

IMPORTANT!

Whenever making adjustments or carrying out maintenance tasks, ALWAYS

switch OFF the machine and disconnect from the power supply.

1.5 Turn the belt by hand and observe how it moves on the rollers, indicated

by its position on the support. This will determine whether not it is

tracking correctly. If it moves sideways, turn the adjuster - 10C, so that it

stabilises over the middle of the support.

At this point the belt is tracking properly. The belt is tensisioned

automatically and cannot be adjusted.

NOTE: Turning the adjuster clockwise will cause the belt to move one

way...turning it anticlockwise and it will have the opposite effect.

2. Changing the Disk

2.1 Remove the disk table and lower cover/dust extraction port (see fig.5)

2.2 Slacken the two screws securing the upper disk cover and slide it backwards.

2.3 Using a sharp instrument, tease off a portion of the sanding disk, sufficient

for it to be grasped by hand and peeled off.

Remove all residual adhesive, and finally clean the disk with a solvent.

2.4 Peel the backing from the replacement sanding disk and fix to the disk

ensuring it is centralised. Press it firmly to ensure it is secure.

2.5 Replace the table and lower disk cover, and adjust gap between table

and disk, by positioning abd securing the upper disk cover.
