Safety First: Remove the battery or disconnect from power
Important: Always wear the correct protective equipment before maintenance. Dust mask or respirator P2, FFP2, or N95.
Check Sanding Belt Condition
A worn or damaged sanding belt will reduce performance and generate excessive heat.
Inspect the belt regularly and replace it if worn or damaged.
Remove dust and debris
Dust build-up on the belt or in the sander’s vents can block airflow and cause overheating.
• Keep the sander clean and free from debris.
• If debris is found, the product cannot be returned—clean and check for improvement at home.
Ensure proper belt alignment
Misaligned belts create uneven pressure and can burn the material.
• Check that the belt is correctly aligned on the rollers.
Use the correct grit
Using grit that is too coarse for the material can cause friction and heat.
• Select the right grit for your task: finer grits for finishing soft woods, coarser grits for removing material from hard woods or metal.
Avoid excessive pressure
Pressing too hard increases friction and heat.
• Apply only enough pressure to guide the sander—let the tool do the work.
Adjust speed settings
High-speed sanding when not required can cause burning.
• Match the speed to the material and task.
Work in a well-ventilated area
Poor ventilation can lead to overheating.
• Ensure proper airflow in your workspace.
Check material compatibility
Some materials, like plastics, can melt or burn under high-speed sanding.
• Adjust technique and speed based on material type.
Control sanding motion
Moving too quickly can cause burning, especially with coarse grit.
• Slow down and allow the sander to work effectively.
