To fit a new belt by the side door there is a hole where you push a key in to release the door. Using the bolt provided you lower the top drum and replace the belt, then remove the bolt and the drum will automatically lift into position.

Do not try to adjust the screw on top of the main drums, this can cause serious damage if not done correctly.

You should start with a coarse or medium/coarse belt and go through the grades until you finish with a fine belt, as standard we provide 24, 40, 80 and 120 grits but you can order 16, 60 and 100 grit which we may have in stock

Note: 120 grit is the finest we stock

When turning on the machine the lever on the handle must always be in position so the drum is up.

When starting to sand you must be moving before you lower the drum or this will leave a gouge in your floor. When you get to the end of the room lift the drum before you stop moving.

Always sand with the grain where you can, if you have to sand against the grain in hallways etc, finish with an edge sander to give it a better finish

The bag can be untied and emptied when it is full.

Please note all nails must be countersunk down before sanding or this may cause sparks that can ignite the bag.

Do not use belt until they are bare as this can also lead to the bag being ignited.

If the belt sander stops working this may be because a fuse has blown, simply replace the fuse in the socket plug, also check you socket is still working as these are powerful machines and may blow the main fuse.
