To change the sanding belt, first disconnect the sander from the power supply. Lift the tension lever to release the belt tension, then slide the old belt off. Position the new belt on the rollers and adjust the tension lever back to its original position. Ensure the belt is aligned correctly before use.
Regularly check the sanding belt for wear and replace as needed. Clean the dust extraction system after each use to prevent clogging. Inspect the power cord for any signs of damage. Lubricate moving parts periodically to ensure smooth operation.
Improper belt tracking can be due to incorrect tension or misalignment. Adjust the tracking knob until the belt runs centrally on the rollers. Ensure the tension lever is properly engaged and the belt is not worn or damaged.
Ensure the dust extraction port is clear and connected to a suitable vacuum system. Check for and clear any blockages in the dust collection hose. Use a sander with a dust bag or collection box if possible.
First, check the power supply and ensure the sander is plugged in. Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. Confirm that the power switch is functioning correctly. If the sander still does not start, consult a qualified technician for further diagnosis.
The sanding belt should be replaced when it shows signs of wear, such as fraying or loss of abrasive material. The frequency of replacement depends on the intensity of use, but a good practice is to inspect the belt before each use.
