General Instructions for 230V Machines

These machines are supplied with a moulded

13 Amp. Plug and 3 core power cable. Before

using the tool inspect the cable and the plug

to make sure that neither are damaged. If any

damage is visible have the tool inspected/

repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is

necessary to replace the plug, it is preferable

to use an ‘unbreakable’ type that will resist

damage on site. Only use a 13 Amp plug, make

Always mount the machine on a flat, level

stable surface. There are several methods of

achieving this, bolting the machine directly to

a ‘good solid workbench’, bolting the machine

to a sturdy base board that can be clamped

to the ‘good solid workbench’; create an

independent entity by bolting the machine

to its own stand. However you mount your

machine, make sure it is fastened down and

stable before use.

Paper belts and discs do not respond well to

wet or damp conditions. In the worst case the

adhesives holding the belt and the abrasive fail

completely, the belts fall apart and the abrasive

becomes a soggy mess against the edge of

your work piece.

The following suggestions will enable you to observe good working practices, keep yourself and

fellow workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.

Good Working Practices/Safety

Mains Powered Tools (General) /Disc & Belt Sander

Primary Precautions

Work Place/Environment

sure the cable clamp is tightened securely.

Fuse at 5 Amp. It is also good practice to use

switched outlets. If extension leads are to be

used, carry out the same safety checks on

them, and ensure that they are correctly rated

to safely supply the current that is required

for your machine. This machine is intended

primarily for inside/workshop usage.

Try to keep the machine in a reasonably dry,

warm environment. If this is not possible; or if

the machine is to remain unused for some time,

at least remove the belt, put in a ‘plastic’ bag

(your partner will take a dim view of sawdust

trails) and store in a warm dry place. I’m afraid

I can offer no suggestions for the disc, unless

you have upgraded to some form of ‘velcro’.

fastening method, in which case, do the same

as with the belt. (P.S. don’t forget… don’t leave

the spare belts/discs in the damp either).

Keep the work area as uncluttered as is

practical, this includes personnel as well as

material.
