piece can be thrown from the machine and cause an
accident. The rotation direction may be changed only
by a qualifiedelectrician.
Make sure that you or other persons are not standing
directly next to the grinding belt when switching the
machine on. The grinding belt can tear apart and cause
serious injuries.
Handling hazardous dusts
For work procedures with this power tool where
material is removed, dusts develop that can be hazard-
ous to one's health.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types, e. g. asbestos
and asbestos-containing materials, lead-containing coat-
ings, metal, some wood types, minerals, silicate parti-
cles from materials containing stone, paint solvents,
wood preservatives, antifouling paints for vessels, can
trigger allergic reactions to the operator or bystanders
and/or lead to respiratory infections, cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. The risk from
inhaling dusts depends on the exposition. Use dust
extraction matched appropriately for the developing
dust, as well as personal protective equipment and pro-
vide for good ventilation of the workplace. Leave the
processing of asbestos-containing materials to special-
ists.
Wood and light-metal dust, hot mixtures of grinding
dust and chemical materials can self-ignite under unfa-
vourable conditions or cause an explosion. Avoid
sparking in the direction of the dust collector as well as
overheating of the power tool and the materials being
sanded, empty the dust collector/container in time,
observe the material manufacturer's working instruc-
tions, as well as the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials being worked.

Adjustments.
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
mains plug.
Adjusting the steering bar (figure 3).
Loosen the four screws (1) and adjust the steering
bar (2) to the desired working height. Tighten all
screws in this position.
Adjusting the removal rate (figures 1/4).
Adjust the belt grinder to the approximate working
height with star-knob bolt (3).
Adjust the clearance between grinding belt and surface
with the crank (4). The removal rate can also be
adjusted during the working procedure.
Adjusting the depth stop (figures 1/5).
Loosen screw (5).
Adjust the belt grinder to the maximum desired
removal rate with the crank (4).
Lock the depth stop in this position with screw (5).
Adjusting the height stop (figure 6).
Pivot the steering bar upward, so that the belt grinder
moves upward.
The desired pivoting height can be set with screw (6).
Adjusting the stroke force (figure 7).
The required stroke force can be set with the crank (7).
Adjust the stroke force in such a manner that the belt
grinder can be easily lowered and is automatically held
in the upper position when raising it or during work
breaks.
Adjusting the parallelism (figure 8).
For uniform removal rate, it is required that the grind-
ing belt runs parallel to the surface.
Adjust the belt tracking with star-knob bolt (8).
Adjusting the spark guard (9) (figure 1).
Loosen both wing bolts (10) and adjust the spark guard
(9) in such a manner that the grinding belt is covered off
as far as possible.
Retighten the wing bolts again.
Adjusting the belt tracking.
Switch the machine on only briefly
and check the belt tracking.
If the grinding belt moves left or
right, adjust the belt tracking with
the starknob bolt (11) until centred.
