Using your Milwaukee M18 FUEL 3x18 Belt Sander is a breeze. First, make sure you have the M18 REDLITHIUM High Output HO6.0 battery (not included) installed. Then, you can choose the right sanding belt for your job - just use the tool - free belt change lever to swap belts quickly. Adjust the speed according to the material you're working on with the variable speed dial. For best results, keep the sander moving evenly across the surface. When it comes to dust collection, you can either use the durable dust bag or connect the universal hose adapter to your vacuum. As for maintenance, regularly check the sanding belt for wear and replace it when necessary. Clean the dust collection system often to keep it working well. Also, make sure to store the sander in a dry place. And remember, this sander is only compatible with 3” x 18” sanding belts. Keep an eye on the automatic belt tracking to ensure straight alignment. If needed, use the tool - free belt tracking knob to adjust the belt position. Lastly, don't forget to turn off the sander when you're done and disconnect the battery to avoid any potential issues.
