Machine Set-Up
Preparing the Machine for Operation
1. Familiarize yourself with the machine. Read all
danger, warning, and caution statements and the
Owner’s Manual before operating this machine. If
you or your operator cannot read English, have this
manual explained fully before attempting to operate
this machine.
2. Remove screw and abrasive retainer. Center
abrasive on pad and secure with abrasive retainer
and screw. (Figure 3)
3. Return machine to upright position and tilt machine
back on casters until it comes to rest on the
exhaust bracket. Machine will be in a reclined
position. Do not allow machine to rest on pad
especially after use, or compression set may take
place within elastomer on pad. This will create a
flat spot and bounce during use. (Figure 4)
Operating Instructions
1. Move machine to the location of your work. Set
any exposed nails with hammer and punch to avoid
encounter with abrasive.
WARNING
: Bodily injury could occur if power is
applied to the machine with the power switch already
in the “ON” position. Always check to assure that the
power switch is in the “OFF” position before applying
power to the power cable.
2. Make sure the control switch is in the “Off” position
then connect the supply cable to an appropriately
grounded fused circuit. Connect the supply cable to
the motor pigtail. (Figure 5)
3. With the machine in the reclined position firmly
grasp both handles and flip the control switch to the
“ON” position. (Figure 4.)
4. Gradually lower pad to surface intended for
sanding. Make sure the machine is in motion
while the pad is engaged with the surface to be
sanded. You may use broad circular motion as
you sand along the length of the surface or your
may use a combination of forward and sidewards
motions. In time you will develop your own
technique to optimize coverage and dust recovery.
It is advisable to not add effort to the pad as this
may lead to “nosing in” or “tipping” which produces
grooves or lines on the surface.
5. When replacing abrasive, emptying the contents of
the dust bag, or sanding operation is completed,
return machine to reclined position, flip control
switch to “Off” then disconnect the motor pigtail
from the supply cable.
6. Empty dust bag whenever it becomes 1/3 full.
DANGER
: Failure to disconnect the supply cable
from machine whenever servicing, replacing abrasive,
or emptying the dust bag could result in electrocution
or severe injury. Never leave machine unattended
while the supply cable is connected.
DANGER
: Never leave dust bag unattended with
sanding dust in it. Sanding dust can spontaneously
ignite and cause a fire or explosion. Empty dust bag
into a metal container, clear of any combustibles. Do
not empty content into a fire. Do not overfill dust bag.
