Assembly
Put the machine frame on its head and press the four rubber stops into the foot of the frame.
Machine frame, aluminium disc (10) and work plate (12) are supplied in separate packaging.
Push the aluminium disc on the shaft and fasten the disc with the socket bolt in the side of the
disc (Fig.B - D).
Place the work plate (12) with the shaft in the machine frame and secure the work plate with
the bolt in the side of the machine frame. Check with a 90° sash angle on the work plate and
against the sanding disc if the angle is exactly 90° (Fig.E).
If necessary, adjust this angle with the calibration indicator.
The mitre scale (13), which is also supplied separately, can be placed on the work plate (12).
With the use of this mitre scale the angle of grinding can be determined precisely.
The fence (8) for the belt sander can be placed behind the uppermost bolt of the V-belt guard.
In this way the workpiece can be held firmly against the belt, without great hazards.
To prevent the workpiece or your fingers from getting caught between the work plate (12)
and the sanding disc (11), the space between work plate (12) and sanding disc (11) must not
exceed 1.6 mm.
the choice of sanding paper
With coarse sanding paper (P 60) generally most of the material can be removed, and fine
sanding paper (P 150) is then used for finishing. An uneven surface is first treated with coarse
sanding paper and sanded until it is even. Subsequently medium-coarse sanding paper (P 100)
is used to remove the scratches caused by the first type of paper used. Fine sanding paper (P
150) is used for finishing. The sanding needs to be continued until the surface is smooth.
the placing of the sanding paper
Fig. F - H
When the sanding machine is held with the sanding disc turned towards you, the sanding belt
moves from right to left along the upper part of the machine. Because of this turning direction
the workpiece will be pressed against the right side of the fence. An arrow on the inside
indicates the right direction of running of the sanding belt (see drawing). If no direction is
indicated, the sanding belt must be placed in such a way that the elevated part of the seam is
placed into the turning direction of the belt. So it is very important that the sanding belt is
placed in the correct way. The machine uses standard 100 x 915 mm sanding belts (nr 7):
remove the plug from the mains socket.
Push the clamping handle completely to the right to take away the tension of the transport
rollers (Fig.A: 4).
