To change the sanding belt on the Primaster BTS3500, first ensure the sander is unplugged. Release the tension lever to loosen the belt. Remove the old belt and slide the new belt onto the rollers, ensuring the arrows on the belt match the direction of rotation. Re-engage the tension lever to secure the belt.
If the sander is not turning on, check if the power cord is properly plugged in and inspect the outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'on' position. If it still doesn't work, check the fuse or circuit breaker and inspect the power cord for damage.
To reduce dust when using the Primaster BTS3500, connect a vacuum to the dust extraction port or use the dust bag provided. Ensure it is securely attached before operating the sander. Regularly empty the dust bag or vacuum to maintain efficiency.
If the sanding belt is slipping, check the alignment and tension of the belt. Ensure the belt is properly centered on the rollers and adjust the tracking knob to correct any misalignment. Ensure that the tension lever is properly engaged.
Regular maintenance for the Primaster BTS3500 includes cleaning the dust extraction system, checking the condition of the power cord, and inspecting the rollers and bearings for wear. Replace worn-out belts and lubricate moving parts as required.
To adjust the belt tracking, turn on the sander and observe the belt's position. Use the tracking knob, usually located near the front roller, to adjust the belt left or right until it runs centered on the rollers.
Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when operating the sander. Ensure the work area is well-ventilated, and keep hands clear of the sanding area. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could catch in the sander.
To replace the brushes, unplug the sander and locate the brush caps on the motor housing. Unscrew the caps and remove the worn brushes. Insert new brushes, ensuring they are properly seated, then replace the caps.
Excessive vibration can be caused by an unbalanced sanding belt or worn parts. Check the belt for damage and replace if necessary. Inspect the rollers and bearings for wear and replace any defective components. Ensure all screws and bolts are tightened.
While the Primaster BTS3500 is primarily designed for wood sanding, it can be used for metal with the correct sanding belt. Ensure you use a belt suitable for metal and follow all safety precautions to prevent overheating and sparks.
