push the dust bag with adapter into the location on the sander housing.
4. OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH (SEE FIG E, F)
Slide the on/off switch to the position marked ”I” to start the tool. (SEE FIG E)
Slide it to the position marked “0” to stop it. (SEE FIG F)
5. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (SEE FIG G)
With the variable speed control (1), the required speed can be selected (also while running).
The required speed is dependent on the material and is to be determined by a practical trial.
After longer periods of working at low speed, allow the tool to cool down by running it for approx. 3
minutes at maximum speed with no load.
6. USING THE SANDER (SEE FIG. H)
Guide your sander parallel to the working surface and move it in circles or in a cross pattern. Do not tilt
the tool in order to avoid deep unwanted sanding marks. The amount of material removed is determined
by the speed of the sanding disc and the grit size used. The speed of the sanding disc diminishes
relative to the pressure applied to the tool. For faster removal, do not increase pressure on the tool, but
use a coarser grit size .
7. SELECT THE RIGHT SAND PAPER
Selecting the correct grit of sanding paper is an extremely important decision that will allow you to achieve
the best quality sanding finish.
Coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will give you the best finish in all sanding operations.
The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do the job.
If the surface is rough:
Start with coarse grit (sold separately) and sand until the surface is uniform. Then use medium to
remove any scratches left by the coarse grit. Then use finer grit (sold separately) for finishing the
surface.
NOTE:
Always continue sanding with each grit until the surface is uniform.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR SANDER
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and
run it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds. Always
use sand paper that is suitable for the material you want to sand.
Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding finish.
Start your sander before sanding and turn it off only after you stop sanding. For the best results, sanding
wood in the direction of the grain.
Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper fitted.
Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away it will damage the base-plate. The guarantee does not cover
base-plate wear and tear.
Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the final
surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on scrap material.
Use only good quality sandpaper.
The sandpaper controls the sanding efficiency, not the amount of force you apply to the tool. Excessive
force will reduce the sanding efficiency and cause motor overload. Replacing the sandpaper regularly
will maintain optimum sanding efficiency.
