cially intended for that purpose.
DAnGEr oF FIrE! Do not use vacuum dust
extraction (dust collection box or vacuum cleaner)
when sanding metals (flying sparks).

operation
Q Switching on and off
The PBS 900 A1 belt sander has full-wave electronics
with additional control electronics, soft start with
inrush current limiting.
When operating the belt sander you can select

Q Selecting the correct rotational
speed and sanding belt
You can select the belt speed using the belt speed
adjuster wheel
1 even whilst the sander is running.
The optimum belt speed depends on the workpiece
and the workpiece material. Always confirm the
best speed by carrying out a small test. The follow-
ing table lists some recommended values to help
you determine the optimum speed.
