Abstract

A hand belt sander has a housing, a drive roller and a deflecting roller both rotatably supported in the housing, the deflecting roller being arranged at a distance from the drive roller movable between a substantially axes-parallel arrangement and out of the axes-parallel arrangement with the drive roller, an endless sanding belt guided along the rollers, a guide plate located in the housing and carrying a control plate with an end for receiving the deflecting roller and being displaceable together with the control plate, a lever arm sensing a position of the sanding belt by a stop part and acting on the position of the sanding belt, a swivel arm around which the lever arm is swivelable and which extends perpendicular relative to the guide plate. The swivel arm sits in the guide plate. The control plate is swivelable around the swivel axle together with the ends and extends toward the guide roller so as to form the swivel arm in a one-piece element, and also carries the stop part.
