How to use LSHM

The belt sander is designed for sanding rough wood with a poorly finished surface. The tool quickly removes millimeters of wood, however not intended to create a finishing.

Preparation for work

First of all, inspect the instrument for damage.. The main thing is to check the wire for integrity, so that there is no closure.

Then it's worth putting on an endless ribbon. To do this, you must pull the ribbon change lever and put on the nozzle.. The main thing, so that the direction of the arrow on the LSHM body coincides with the direction on the tape (it is usually indicated on the inside). If you put on the abrasive cloth incorrectly, then it will quickly break.

It happens sometimes, that the tape starts to go, then to the right, then to the left. In this case, you need to center. To do this, turn on the tool and twist the tape centering knob, located at the front of the grinder.

In order not to breathe sawdust, do not litter the room is to attach a dust bag or a special vacuum cleaner. There are a lot of sawdust from LSHM. I also recommend wearing gloves., protective glasses, headphones.

Grinding technique LSHM

Place the tool on the surface to be treated first.. look, so that the start lock button is not pressed! Turn on the device, respecting the following rules:

• Hold the belt sander very firmly, as she begins to rush forward frantically. It won't be very comfortable at first., but after half an hour you will get used to it;
• You can only sand wood along the grain., moving the tool back and forth. Otherwise you will get ugly scratches.;
• Rough wood should be sanded with a grit of 80R.. The smoother the tree becomes, the higher the grit size of the sanding belt should become. The gradual principle will help you sand wood very well..

Do not put pressure on the machine while working.. LSHM weight is enough, to perfectly cope with surface imperfections. Do not wear long sleeves or lean close to the instrument, because matter can inadvertently suck.

Don't quit sanding wood early.. This is one of the big mistakes when working with wood, as dirt clogs into the pores of poorly polished wood.

Working with small details

To work with small parts, the belt sander is turned over and fixed using a special stationary mount.

Stationary mount can be included. Thanks to this setting, you can bring workpieces to the machine, and not vice versa. It is very comfortable, when you work with small details.

be careful, presenting the workpiece to the rotating tool belt. The rotation speed of the tape can tear off the workpiece and rub off some of your skin..

there is a danger to the eyes and face in general due to the large amount of flying crumbs

When sanding wet or resinous wood, the belts quickly become unusable.. However, don't throw them away.. With a brush in hand, you can quickly clean, without erasing the abrasive grains.
