How to use

To install the sanding belt, ensure the sander is disconnected from the power source. Release the tensioning lever on your belt sander, remove the old belt, and slide the new Makita belt onto the rollers, ensuring the directional arrows on the inside of the belt match the rotation direction of the machine. Once positioned, engage the tensioning lever and adjust the tracking knob while the machine is running at a low speed to ensure the belt remains centered on the rollers.

• Verify that your belt sander is compatible with the 76x457 mm size
• Ensure the 80 grit specification is appropriate for your specific surface preparation needs
• Check the quantity required for your project to ensure you have sufficient replacements

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and a dust mask, when operating a belt sander. Regularly clear dust from the sander to maintain optimal performance and prevent overheating.
