Q Vacuum dust extraction
EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL!
If there is an explosive mixture of dust and air you
must use a vacuum device especially intended for
that purpose.
DANGER OF FIRE FROM FLYING SPARKS!
Do not use any form of dust extraction (dust box
5
or vacuum extraction device) if you are sanding metal.
DANGER OF FIRE! There is
the danger of fire when working with electrical de-
vices that have a dustbox or can be connected to a
vacuum cleaner. Under certain conditions the wood
dust in the dust collection box (or in the vacuum‘s
dust bag) may self-ignite, e.g. as a result of flying
sparks generated when abrading metals or metal
objects left in wood. This can happen particularly if
the wood dust is mixed with paint residue or other
chemicals and the abraded particles are hot from
prolonged abrasion. Therefore you must empty the
device’s dust collection box and the vacuum clean-
er’s dust bag before taking a break or stopping
work and always avoid overheating of the abraded
particles and the device.
Wear a dust mask!
Dust extraction with dust box:
Push the dust box 5 on to the adapter port 9 .
Dismantle / remove the dust box:
Press the release button 6 of the dust box 5
and withdraw it towards the rear of the device.
Adapter for external vacuum extraction
(with reducer piece)
Connection:
Push the adapter for external vacuum extraction
12 into the adapter port 9 . If it is necessary to
use the reducer piece 13 , push the reducer piece
into the adapter for external vacuum extraction 12 .
Slide the hose of a suitable dust extraction de-
vice approved for that purpose (e.g. a workshop
vacuum cleaner) on to the adapter for external
vacuum extraction
12 with the reducer piece 13 ,
if used.
Removal:
Pull off the dust extraction device hose.
Pull off the adapter for external vacuum extrac-
tion
12 (with the reducer piece 13 , if used).
Q
Operation
Q Switching on and off
When operating the belt sander you can select
between intermittent or continuous operation mode.
To switch on intermittent operation mode:
Press the ON / OFF switch 3 .
To switch off intermittent operation mode:
Release the ON / OFF switch 3 .
To switch on continuous operation mode:
Press the ON / OFF switch 3 , and keep it
pressed, then press the locking knob 4 .
To switch off continuous operation mode:
Press and then release the ON / OFF switch 3 .
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 following
table lists some recommended values to help you
determine the optimum speed.
