secure before starting.

5. ALWAYS maintain a clearance of 1.5-2mm between the table and the

sanding belt or disc.

6. ALWAYS hold the workpiece firmly so that it cannot be pulled from your

hands.

7. ALWAYS feed the workpiece against the direction of rotation of the disc. i.e

the LEFT side of the disc.

8. ALWAYS keep the mains cable well away from the machine and ensure an

adequate electrical supply is close at hand so that the operation is not

restricted by the length of the cable.

9. ALWAYS use a dust extraction device, properly connected to the dust

extraction port.

10. ALWAYS ensure that nails or any foreign objects have been removed from a

DUST EXTRACTION

The sander is provided with a dust extraction facility. Please note however,

that this does not preclude the user from wearing a face mask to prevent the

inhalation of dust particles.

It is an EEC requirement that a dust extraction facility be provided on power

tools, however, due to the nature of the sander, some of the dust produced

will be forced into the surrounding atmosphere and will not be collected.

machine. Alternatively, the machine may be mounted on a workbench or a

wooden base, using the four holes in the base as mounting holes. In order to

maintain complete stability when in use, the wooden base should be secured

to a workbench using ‘G’ clamps.

ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE USE

BELT TABLE ADJUSTMENT

1. With the belt correctly tensioned

(See Maintenance), adjust the

Belt Support so that it is square

and bears very lightly on the back

of the Sanding Belt.

2. Ensure the two hex socket head

securing screws (arrowed) are

tight. A hex. socket wrench is

provided.

3. Slacken the Table Locking Lever

and position the table so that a

gap of 1.5 - 2 mm exists between

the slot in the table and the belt, then lightly secure the table using the

locking lever.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

4. Place an engineers square on the

table so that it butts up against

the belt, then unlock the adjuster

by unscrewing the locknut at B.

5. Screw the adjuster A, clockwise or

anticlockwise whilst bearing down

on the table at a point adjacent

to screw A, until the square

indicates that the table is at right

angles.

6. Lock the adjuster, ensuring the nut is tight, then, maintaining pressure on

the table, finally secure the table using the locking lever. by turning

anticlockwise.

7. Finally, check to ensure the gap between the table and belt is between 1.5

- 2 mm.

8. It is possible to set the table to any angle up to 45 degrees, simply by

slackening the locking lever and positioning the table using a protractor or

angle setter, then retightening the locking lever.

DISC TABLE ADJUSTMENT

1. Place an engineers square on the

table and slacken the locking

levers slightly.

2. Adjust the table so it is at right

angles to the disc, using the

square, then tighten the levers.

3. If necessary, adjust the pointer,

adjacent to the angle indicator

beneath the table, so that it

registers zero.

4. Slacken the upper disc cover securing screws (A on page 8) using the

wrench supplied, and adjust so that a gap of 2-3mm exists between the

disc and the table and the table is square. Tighten the securing screws.

5. It is possible to set the table to any angle up to 45 degrees, simply by

slackening the locking levers and positioning the table using the angle

indicator, then retightening the locking levers. If the angle is critical, a

protractor or angle setter should be used.

6. If required, slide the quadrant into its groove in the table.

NOTE: The quadrant may be used to hold a workpiece at any desired

angle for sanding that angle with accuracy.

OPERATION

IMPORTANT: Ensure that ALL components are secure, ALL correct

adjustments have been carried out, and ALL safety precautions have been

observed BEFORE plugging the machine into the mains supply, and

switching ON.

1. Attach a vacuum cleaner or

other dust extraction device to

the relevant extraction port

(depending upon the medium to

be used) and switch it ON.

2. Switch the machine ON by

pressing the Green ON button.

3. If using the belt, check to ensure it

is tracking properly...adjust if

necessary.

4. Holding the workpiece firmly, place it on the table and gently slide it into

contact with the belt or disc. Do not force it, only a light pressure is

required.

IMPORTANT: When using the sanding disc, ALWAYS use the left half of the

disc ONLY, i.e. that, side where the direction of rotation of the disc is down

towards the table.

MAINTENANCE

Always inspect the sander before use and ensure it is in top condition.

Ensure all air vents are clear. (Use compressed air to clean the machine where

possible).

Check the power cable to ensure it is sound and free from damage. Avoid

using solvents when cleaning plastic parts, (most plastics are susceptible to

damage from the various types of commercial solvents).

All bearings in this tool are lubricated with sufficient high grade lubricant for

the machine’s lifetime under normal operating conditions, therefore no further

lubrication is required.
