HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Workpiece: Ensure your workpiece is stable and securely clamped if necessary to prevent movement during sanding.
2. Select and Install Belt: Choose the appropriate grit sanding belt for your task (e.g., 80-grit for material removal, 180-grit for finer finishing). Depress the tensioning roller to loosen the belt, slide the new belt onto the sanding arm, and release the roller to secure it.
3. Adjust Belt Centering: If the belt is not running centrally, use a screwdriver to gently adjust the centering mechanism until the belt tracks correctly.
4. Set Sanding Arm Angle: Press the knob on the die-cast aluminum head and pivot the sanding arm to the desired angle, up to 60 degrees, to access your workpiece effectively.
5. Connect Dust Attachment (Optional): If dust extraction is desired, connect a vacuum hose to the integrated dust attachment port.
6. Adjust Speed: Turn on the tool and use the full-wave electronic speed control dial to set the appropriate belt speed for your material and task. Start with a lower speed for delicate work and increase as needed.
7. Begin Sanding: Gently apply the moving sanding belt to the workpiece with even pressure. Move the sander smoothly across the surface, following the grain of the material when appropriate.
8. Monitor Progress: Regularly check your progress to avoid over-sanding.
9. Power Off and Store: Once finished, turn off the sander, unplug it, and allow the belt to cool before storing the tool in its provided case.
