Selecting speed and abrasive belt
You can use the belt speed adjusting wheel to
adjust the speed, even while the appliance is run-
ning. The optimum belt speed is dependent on the
workpiece or material being processed. We rec-
ommend carrying out a practice run to determine
the correct speed. In the table below, you will find
some recommended values which will help you de-
termine which belt and speed to use for which job.
