1. Turn on the switch (Fig. 4 - 1) and allow the motor to reach full speed.
2. Adjust the sanding belt speed by turning the speed control to the required
speed (Fig. 4 - 2). Do this before contacting the work surface to avoid varied
finishes on the final project.
3. Gently bring belt into contact with the surface. CAUTION! The sander
may initially snatch forwards. Resist the forward motion and keep the belt
sander moving at an even pace.
NOTE: Always lift the tool off the workpiece before starting/stopping the
tool.
OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
SERVICE: Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of internal
wires and components, possibly causing a serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed by an
authorized WEN service station.
CLEANING: Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. The tool
may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Do not attempt to clean these components by inserting
pointed objects through openings.
Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlo-
rinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.
WARNING: To avoid accidents, always disconnect the tool from the power supply before cleaning or
performing any maintenance. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air.

CAUTION: Never cover air vents since they must always be open for proper motor cooling.
Make sure that the workpiece is free of nails and other foreign objects that could tear the abrasive belt.
The tool is intended for sanding flat exterior and interior surfaces, rounding corners and edges, deburring, remov-
ing paint, welding spatter and rust, and for sharpening knives and scissors etc. All other applications are consid-
ered to be unsuitable. Do not use the tool for anything other than its intended purposes.
