Supplied with a 5 m power cable, this belt sander is intended for continuous use on wood and other solid materials where material removal and smoothing are required.

Advantages

The 850 W motor delivers consistent power for aggressive sanding and efficient stock removal while the 160 mm belt width covers a larger surface area per pass, reducing working time on broad panels. The compact body design supports controlled operation and access to tighter workspaces. The included 5 m cable enables flexible movement around the workpiece without frequent repositioning of power sources. Designed for mains use, the tool maintains stable performance during prolonged tasks.

How to use

Fit an appropriate abrasive belt to the 160 mm belt sander according to the material and desired finish, ensuring correct tension and tracking before powering the tool. Hold the sander firmly and move it evenly across the work surface in the direction of the grain where possible, applying light, consistent pressure to avoid gouging. For heavy material removal, use lower-grit abrasive and make several controlled passes; for final smoothing, switch to a finer grit. Always allow the sander to reach full speed before contacting the surface and turn the tool off before setting it down.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, hearing protection and a dust mask. Secure workpieces and ensure the work area is well ventilated. Match abrasive grit to the sanding stage: coarse grits for rapid removal, medium for shaping, and fine grits for finishing. Regularly check belt condition and tracking, and disconnect the tool from the mains before changing belts or performing maintenance.
