3. ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENT
3.1. Unpack the sander and check the contents. Should there be any damaged or
missing parts, contact your supplier immediately.
3.2. Attach a sanding disc (fig.2.1) to the back plate by removing the self adhesive
backing and carefully applying the disc to the plate.
Note: The sander may arrive with a disc already applied.
3.3. Insert table support rod (fig.1.1) into boss below and to the left of the disc
(fig.2.2) and lock in place with bolt.
3.4. The angle of the table may be adjusted by loosening locking nut (fig.1.4) and
positioning the angle gauge (fig.1.3) accordingly.
3.5. The mitre gauge (fig.2.3) base bar locates in the groove in the table top (fig.1.2).
3.6. Bolt the sander to a stable, fireproof bench or table which is strong enough to
take the weight of the sander and the workpiece.
3.7. IMPORTANT: Before using the sander, the belt
tensioner adjusters (as shown in figs.12 and 13),
need to be turned back approximately 1 turn from
their transport position, to allow the electric motor
a small amount of movement. If this is not carried
out there is a danger that the motor will jam.
 WARNING! Before each use rotate the sanding disc by hand to check it is undamaged and secure. Remove adjusting keys and
wrenches before turning the sander on. Ensure you wear approved safety goggles, gloves, ear defenders and respiratory protection.
 WARNING! DO NOT switch the sander on whilst the workpiece is in contact with the disc or belt. Keep all guards and holding
screws in place, tight and in good working order. A guard or other part that is damaged must be repaired or replaced before the
sander is next used, if damaged replace parts. The safety guards are mandatory when the sander is used in premises covered by the
Health & Safety at Work Act.
4.1. SANDING BELT.
4.1.1. If the belt does not run centrally on the drums the tracking should be adjusted by turning knob (fig.2.4).
4.1.2. To stabilise the sanding bed, unscrew support bolt (fig.2.5) until it ‘butts’ up to the underside of the sanding belt bed and lock with nut.
4.1.3. The sanding belt bed (fig.2.7) may be rotated through 90° from the horizontal and locked for operating in a vertical position (fig.3).
4.1.4. To alter the bed angle, remove the end guard by removing bolt (fig.2.8) and two screws on topside of guard, withdraw guard (fig.2.9).
4.1.5 Loosen the clamp nut (fig.2.10) located adjacent to upper pulley (behind sanding disc at rear). Pull the sanding belt upright and tighten
the lock nut. Fit the sanding table to mount (fig.2.11) and adjust to the desired angle. When returning to horizontal position ensure you
replace the guard.
4.2. SANDING TABLE.
4.2.1. The table may be tilted through 45° by loosening thumb screw (fig.1.4).
4.2.2. When operating sanding bed in the vertical position (fig.3), mount sanding table at the foot of the belt:
a. Remove table assembly and support rod (fig.1.1) from the sanding disc position.
b. Insert table support rod (fig.1.1) into rear mounting boss (fig.2.11) and fix with locking bolt.
