sanded at the ends of the sanding belt. Work
pieces which are longer than the sanding machine
can be sanded by removing the fence.
NB: To prevent splintering, wood always needs
to be sanded in the longitudinal direction of the
grain.
To treat a very soft surface, there is a very handy
method to 'bring the particles to the surface'.
This is done as follows: wet the already sanded
surface with a cloth or sponge and let it dry well.
Some wood fibres will swell up more than others,
which leads to a rougher surface than before.
Now the higher particles are treated with fine
sanding paper, the result is a remarkably smooth
surface. This method should not be applied with
varnished wood, however, because the varnish
may come loose because of the moisture.
5. MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning and maintenance,
always switch off the machine and
remove the mains plug from the mains.
Clean the machine casings regularly with a soft
cloth, preferably after each use. Make sure that
the ventilation openings are free of dust and
dirt. Remove very persistent dirt using a soft
cloth moistened with soapsuds. Do not use any
solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, ammonia,
etc. Chemicals such as these will damage the
synthetic components.
Replace power cords
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Mains plug replacement (UK only)
If the moulded 3-pin plug attached to the unit is
damaged and needs replacing, it is important
that it is correctly destroyed and replaced by
an approved BS 1363/7A fused plug and that
the following wiring instructions are followed.
The wires in the mains cable are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
• blue neutral
• brown
live
8
As the colours of the wires in the mains cable
of the unit may not correspond to the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in the plug,
proceed as follows:
• The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or coloured red.
