Assembly

Ensure the product is disconnected from the mains power supply before attempting any assembly.

• Attaching the dust collection bag: Open the dust collection bag bracket and slide it onto the dust extraction outlet. Empty the bag every 5-10 minutes for efficient operation.

Operation

Always hold the belt sander firmly with both hands during operation.

• Adjusting the auxiliary handle: Release the auxiliary handle locking lever, rotate the handle to the desired position, and lock it back in place.
• On/off trigger: Depress the trigger to start the sander; release to stop.
• Switch lock-on button: For continuous use, depress the trigger and then press the lock-on button. To switch off, depress and release the trigger.
• Variable speed control: Adjust the dial to match the material (e.g., 5-6 for solid wood/steel, 1-2 for acrylic). Avoid prolonged use at very low speeds to prevent motor damage.
• Belt adjustment control: If the belt runs outward, turn the adjustment knob anti-clockwise; if it runs inward, turn it clockwise.
• Front plate: Can be lifted to the locked position for sanding tight corners.

Maintenance

Ensure the product is disconnected from the mains power supply before maintenance.

• Replacing the drive belt: Remove the screws from the belt cover. Cut the old belt if necessary. Fit the new belt around the large pulley first, then install onto the small pulley by rotating clockwise. Replace the cover.
• Carbon brushes: If the sander sparks or stops, the carbon brushes may be worn. Take the tool to a service agent for replacement. Always replace both brushes at the same time.
• Cleaning: Wipe with a dry cloth. Never use water or chemical cleaners. Keep ventilation slots clean.

Troubleshooting

• Product does not start: Check power supply, ensure the switch is on, and check the lock-on button.
• Product does not reach full power: Ensure the extension cord is suitable and the power source voltage is sufficient.
• Belt not centered: Use the belt adjustment control knob. If the belt is deformed, replace it.
