Changing the sanding belt (see figure A)
- Swivel the clamping lever (4) all the way out. The sanding belt (2) is now slack and can be removed.
- Fit the new sanding belt (2). Ensure that the arrow directions on the inner surface of the sanding belt and the housing of the power tool match.
- Swivel the clamping lever (4) back to the starting position.
- Set the sanding belt (2) using the adjustment button (8) so that it lies stable in the middle of the belt running.
Ensure that the sanding belt (2) does not grind against the housing. Check the belt running regularly and, if necessary, readjust it using the adjustment button (8).
