TROUBLEShOOTING
Problem
Possible Cause
Possible Solution
• Unit will not start.
• Attachment is not secured.
• Make certain the attachment is fully
pushed into the Power Unit.
MAINTENANCE
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
IMPORTANT:
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and
adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized service
centers or other qualified service personnel, always using identical replacement parts.
NOTE:
This attachment only operates in the forward direction, the forward/reverse slider of the
Power Unit should not be able to be switched to reverse.
NOTE:
Do not rest fingers on platen during use. Move it in long
sweeping strokes across the surface, letting it do the work. Light
pressure is all that is required for sanding. Excessive pressure will slow
the tool and produce inferior results. Check your work often, product is
capable of removing material rapidly. Excessive force will reduce the
working efficiency and cause motor overload. Replacing the sanding
sheet regularly will maintain optimum working efficiency.
NOTE:
Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to
prevent movement. Any movement of the material may affect the
quality of the sanding finish.

Attaching and removing sanding sheets (Figure A)
The sanding attachment uses pre-cut sanding sheets.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury
,
turn off and remove battery from tool or disconnect
plug from power source before attaching or removing sanding sheets.
• Before attaching a new sheet, remove the two additional
diamond tips
.
• To attach a sanding sheet, line it up with the sanding base as shown.
• Press the sheet firmly and evenly onto the sanding base.
• To remove the sheet, pull it off the sanding pad.
NOTE:
Never use the sanding attachment without a sanding sheet or accessory in place. Use
coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces, and fine grit for the
finishing surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on scrap material. Allowing the sandpaper to
wear away will damage the sanding pad.
TIP OF THE SANDING BASE (FIGURE B)
• When the sanding base tip is worn, it can be reversed or replaced.
• Reverse or replace the worn part.
WARNING:
Fire hazard.
When working on metal surfaces, do
not use a vacuum cleaner because sparks are generated. Wear safety
glasses and a dustmask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your
sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
• Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet. Replace when necessary.
•
Always sand with the grain of the wood.
•
When sanding new layers of paint before applying another layer, use extra fine grit.
•
On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of paint, start with a coarse grit. On other
surfaces, start with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine grit for a smooth finish.
• Consult your retailer for more information on available accessories for sanding, polishing, stripping
and scrubbing.
