tion when locking tool in "ON" position and maintain

the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then

CAUTION:
• When installing the belt, make sure that the direc-
tion of the arrow on the back of the belt corre-
sponds to the one on the tool itself.
Adjusting belt tracking
1
While the belt is running, use the adjusting knob to center
the belt tracking. Failure to do so can result in frayed belt
edges and wear on the sander frame.
Dust bag
1
The use of the dust bag makes sanding operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it onto
the dust spout.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust
bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove par-
ticles adhering to the insides which might hamper further
collection.
