FAQs

What size sanding belts does this machine use?

The Einhell TC-US 380 uses sanding belts that are 914mm in length and 100mm in width.

What is the diameter of the sanding disc compatible with this unit?

This machine is designed for 150mm diameter sanding discs.

How do I adjust the angle of the sanding belt?

The sanding belt unit itself is pivotable, and the angle can be set using its integrated pivot mechanism. The aluminium support table can also be tilted to accommodate different sanding angles.

Can I use this for metal sanding?

While primarily designed for wood, abrasive discs and belts suitable for metal may be used with caution, provided they are the correct size and securely attached. Always follow safety guidelines.

What is the function of the transverse stop?

The transverse stop is used to guide workpieces at a precise angle against the sanding belt or disc. It can be pivoted from -60° to +60° for creating chamfers and angled edges.

Does this unit come with a dust bag?

The unit features a dust extraction port for connection to an external dust collection system. It does not typically come with an integrated dust bag.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the product manual or the retailer's warranty information for the specific warranty period applicable to your purchase.

Troubleshooting

Sanding belt not running straight

Adjust the external sanding belt centering knob until the belt runs centered on the rollers. Ensure the belt is not damaged or twisted.

Excessive vibration during operation

Verify that the machine is on a level surface and that the rubber feet are intact. Ensure all components, especially the sanding disc and belt, are securely attached.

Poor sanding performance

Check if the sanding belt or disc is worn out and needs replacement. Ensure the correct grit abrasive is being used for the material and task. Clear any accumulated dust from the sanding surface.

Dust extraction not effective

Confirm that the dust extraction hose is securely connected to the 36mm port and that your dust extractor is functioning properly with adequate suction power. Ensure no blockages exist in the port or hose.
