Work Area1. Keep your work area clean and

well lit. Cluttered benches and darkareas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in ex-plosive atmospheres, such as inthe presence of flammable liquids,gases, or dust. Power tools createsparks which may ignite the dust orfumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, andvisitors away while operating apower tool. Distractions can causeyou to lose control.

Electrical Safety

4. Double Insulated tools areequipped with a polarized plug (oneblade is wider than the other.) Thisplug will fit in a polarized outlet on-ly one way. If the plug does not fitfully in the outlet, reverse the plug.If it still does not fit, contact a qual-ified electrician to install a polar-ized outlet. Do not change the plugin any way. Double Insulation

Class II Equipment eliminates theneed for the three wire groundedpower cord and grounded powersupply system.

5. Avoid body contact with groundedsurfaces such as pipes, radiators,ranges and refrigeratorsand refrig-erators. There is an increased risk ofelectric shock if your body is grounded.

6

6. Do not expose power tools to rainor wet conditions. Water entering apower tool will increase the risk ofelectric shock.

7. Do not abuse the cord. Never usethe cord to carry the tools or pullthe plug from an outlet. Keep cordaway from heat, oil, sharp edgesor moving parts. Replace damagedcords immediately. Damaged cordsincrease the risk of electric shock.

8. When operating a power tool out-side, use an outdoor extensioncord marked „W-A“ or „W.“ Thesecords are rated for outdoor use andreduce the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

9. Stay alert, watch what you are do-ing and use common sense whenoperating a power tool. Do not usetool while tired or under the influ-ence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-tion. A moment of inattention whileoperating power tools may result inserious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

WARNING!Some dust created by power sanding,sawing, grinding, drilling, and other con-struction activities contains chemicalsknown to the State of California to causecancer, birth defects or other reproduc-

tive harm. Some examples of thesechemicals are:• lead from lead-based paints,• crystalline silica from bricks and cement

and other masonry products, andarsenic and

• chromium from chemically-treatedlumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies,depending on how often you do this typeof work. To reduce your exposure tothese chemicals: work in a well ventilat-ed area, and work with approved safetyequipment, such as those dust masksthat are specially designed to filter outmicroscopic particles.

6 Description of the machineThe PROXXON BBS/S block belt Sanderis an ideal tool for building models, toolsand moulds but is also suitable for smallcar repair jobs, such as on the bodyworkfor example. The sanding belt is locatedflush on the left side to allow surfaces tobe sanded "right down to the corner". A fine adjustment for the rollers preventsrunning off on the side. Spring clampingsystem for easy replacement of beltswithout tool: The BBS/S can be used for de-burring,roughing, fine sanding, edging, paint-stripping, rust removal and sharpeningtools.For machining steel, non-ferrous metals,wood and plastics. Included with themachine are 2 x 5 grinding belts withdifferent grit sizes (120/240).

7 OperationThe belt Sander is easily guided over thesurface to be sanded with the right hand.Hold the BBS/S as shown in Fig. 2.Make sure you do not obstruct the cool-ing slots for the motor. Take care not toapply too much pressure when working.This causes the belt to wear quickly and,furthermore, will put excessive strain onthe mechanics.
