belt sander PBSS 10-600

Adjusting the belt speed

By use of the setting wheel for belt speed selection you can

change the speed of rotation at any time – even during the

operation of the device. The required belt speed depends on the

material and the operating conditions and can be determined by

way of field-testing. For sanding harder materials such as wood

or metal we recommend a higher belt speed, for softer

materials e.g. non-ferrous metals and varnishes a low belt

speed is sufficient. The setting range covers 7levels: 1– MAX

(170 – 250m/min).

1. Turn the setting wheel(1) to the desired level for belt

speed.

Connecting the power cable

1. Insert the mains plug into a properly secured mains

socket.

Operation

Tips and notes on handling the belt sander

General information:

• Only use abrasive belts which are approved for the device

used.

• Before every application, make sure that you have selected

the correct abrasive belt for the intended use. A coarse grit

is suited for rough grinding, a fine grain size, on the other

hand, is more appropriate for fine and finish grinding.

• Do not process wood and metal using the same abrasive

belt.

• Only use intact, flawless abrasive belts. Damaged abrasive

belts could tear and cause damage to the workpiece.

Exchange abrasive belts in due time.

• Make sure that the abrasive belt does not grind into the

housing.

• Clamp the workpiece unless it is firmly and safely

positioned by its own weight.

• Do not overload the device so that it comes to a standstill.

• Keep the venting slots clear to prevent the motor from

overheating.

• Only store abrasive belts in a suspended position, as they

are damaged by kinks and the likes.

Sanding:

• Belt speed and grain size of the abrasive belt define the

removal rate and the surface finish.

• For grinding off untreated wooden surfaces move the

device in a straight line along with the grain. That way you

can prevent transverse sanding marks. For sanding other

surfaces move the device in ovals. Always sand in parallel

to the grinding path ensuring an appropriate overlap.

• Do not apply excessive contact pressure. The device's own

weight achieves a sufficient grinding performance

resulting in smoother workpieces surfaces. Increased

contact pressure leads to a greater wear of the device and

the abrasive belt.

• If the material's surface is untreated, start grinding with

coarse or medium grain size and finish off with a fine grit.

• Best use a coarse grain size (40 or 60 grit) for removing

paint and for rough grinding particularly raw wood. For

surface-grinding undressed or sawn timber use abrasive

belts of medium grit (grain size 80, 100 or 120). Use a fine

grit (grain size 180, 240 or 320) to smoothen and fine-

grind timber and surfaces coated with old paint as well as

for dry sanding untreated wooden surfaces.

• Use a dust extraction system when grinding off residual

paint. Paint residues might smelt and then smudge both

workpiece and abrasive belt.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
