Health
Dusts from materials with a lead-content coating, some
types of wood, minerals and metals can represent a
health hazard. Touching or inhaling dusts can be the
cause of allergic reactions and/or respiratory disorders to
the user or persons in the vicinity. Certain dust, such as
that from oak or beech, are considered carcinogenic,
particularly in combination with additives used in treating
wood (chromate wood preservatives). Material
containing asbestos may only be processed by
specialists.
Always wear close-fitting clothes when completing the
work. Remove all jewellery before starting work. Always
wear a hair net if you have long hair.
Avoid contact with power sources. The sander is not
insulated against contact with live parts.
Do not reach into the running belt. Cutting and abrasion
hazard.
Handling the manual belt sander
Before starting work, and after each interruption, check
the machine for damage and wear.
Clean the machine after use, make sure the telescopic
clamping device can still move freely.
Proper functioning of the appliance is only guaranteed if
the oil mist lubricator is checked at regular intervals, the
condensation water is removed and resin and acid-free
oil (special accessory) is topped up.
Complete a 30-second test run before starting to use the
sander.
Always disconnect the machine from the compressed air
supply during belt changes and maintenance work.
The flow pressure of 6 bar must never be exceeded
during operation.
If the air supply is interrupted, switch off the machine
immediately.
In the case of manual belt sanders with a grease nipple
in the angle head, the gear unit should be lightly greased
with special grease after approx. 40 hours of operation
(2 –3 strokes with a grease gun).
The sander runs on after being switched off.
Only set the unit down after it has come to a stop.
Secure the workpiece in a clamping device or a vice.
Note that compressed air stored in the hose can cause
the sander to start unexpectedly.
Only use the sander with an undamaged hose. Check
the components, mains cable and connections for
damage before starting work.
If the sander has fallen down, it must be checked for
possible damage.
Conduct at the workplace
Keep your place of work tidy.
Sparks are generated during sanding. Remove any
combustible objects and materials.
Be aware of the danger of a whipping compressed air
hose.
Always concentrate on the job at hand and keep others
away from the work area.
Keep your tools in a safe, secure place and maintain
them carefully.
Repair work may only be carried out by specialist
personnel.
Use a vacuum cleaner if possible.
Ensure good ventilation at the workplace.
It is recommended to wear a respirator mask complying

Connection and start-up
Connection of the manual belt sander
Warning!
Do not connect the hose unit to
the compressed air supply until it
has been connected to the
machine.
Warning!
Only connect to the pressure
supply when the sanding belt is
tensioned and the valve is
switched off.
Operate the BIAX compressed air manual belt sander
only with clean, water-free air. To do this, connect the
appliance to an oil mist lubricator with a water separator.
The oil mist lubricator should be installed as near as
possible to the sander.
Blow through the pressure hose before connection
to remove impurities.
Mount the oil mist lubricator in the following order:
Water separator –pressure gauge –oil mist unit.
Connect the compressed air manual belt sander (A)
with a hose unit (B) and, if necessary, with a silencer
via a one-hand coupling (C) to the oil mist lubricator
(D). (see Fig. 1)
Set an operating pressure of max. 6.3 bar at the oil
mist lubricator. Check the oil level and top up oil if
necessary.
Adjust the oil mist lubricator to add 2 –3 drops of
oil per minute to the air.
