How to hold a drywall sander
The Drywall Sander should be held with both hands on the main tube. The hands may be positioned anywhere along the main tube to provide the best combi-
nation of reach and leverage for the particular application.
CAUTION: Keep hands on Main Tube . Do not place hand into area around the sanding head. The sanding heads swivels in multiple directions and could pinch
hand.
Connect drywall sander to vacuum cleaner
The following items are furnished with the Drywall Sander.
- One vacuum hose: 4m long (includes a standard 38mm vacuum cleaner
connector on end and a special swivel connector on the Sander end)., with a
static dissipating feature to dissipate static electrical charges that are some-
times experienced when recovering drywall dust.
- One 38mm to 47mm adapter (adapts the 38mm hose connector to fit a
47mm vacuum cleaner).
Installation
1. Install a special drywall dust bag into your vacuum cleaner, following the instructions supplied with the vacuum cleaner.
CAUTION: Failure to use a vacuum cleaner rated for drywall dust will increase the level of airborne dust particles in the work area. Continued and prolonged
exposure to high concentrations of airborne dust may affect the respiratory system function.
2. Connect the vacuum hose to the Drywall Sander. Open the Drywall Sander's hose connector by turning the large nut , counter-clockwise a couple of turns.
Push the vacuum hose swivel connector into the Drywall Sander connector and seal firmly. Turn the large nut clockwise to tighten connector.
3. Install the six "hook & loop" type straps, to prevent tangling of the Sander cord and the vacuum hose. Lay the cord and the vacuum hose out parallel to each
other. Space the straps at approximately two foot intervals, beginning two feet from the Drywall Sander. Wrap the long end of each strap around the vacuum
hose and close, Then wrap the short end of each strap around the cord and close.
4. Connect the vacuum hose to your vacuum cleaner: Use the 38mm to 47mm adapter if necessary, if your vacuum cleaner requires a special connector (some-
thing other than the standard 38mm to 47mm connectors), contact your vacuum cleaner supplier for the proper adapter.
To start and stop drywall sander
Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as shown on the specification plate on the Sander, and that the Sander switch is OFF. Connect Sander to power
circuit.
The Drywall Sander is equipped with finger touch switch. Please see as below picture shown:
To connect with electric power by press power key, then press ON/OFF key to turn on the machine. And press again ON/OFF key to turn off machine.
And Power cut by pressing POWER key .
Speed control
The Drywall Sander is equipped with a variable speed control. The speed is adjusted by
“+”,”-“ from numbered "1" through "7" with "1" being the slowest speed (approximately
900 RPM)and "7" being the fastest speed {approximately 2100 RPM).Use the higher speed
settings for fast stock removal. Use the lower speed selling to reduce removal rate for more
precise control.

Brush-typeskirt
A brush-type skirt surrounds the abrasive pad. This skirt serves two purposes: (1) the skirt extends below the surface of the abrasive pad so that it contacts the
work surface first. This positions the sanding head parallel to the work surface before the abrasive contacts the work, preventing the abrasive from "gouging"
the work. (2) The skirt also helps contain the drywall dust until the vacuum cleaner pulls it away.
CAUTION: DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER CIRCUIT.
To replace skirt: (1) Remove abrasive pad (see ABRASIVE PAD REPLACEMENT). (2) Use Phillips screwdriver to remove the six retaining screws (3) Lift the skirt
out of housing. (4) Position new skirt to housing and install the six retaining screws. (5) Replace the abrasive pad.
Sanding drywall
The Drywall Sander has a unique articulating sanding head: the head can swivel in multiple directions, allowing
the abrasive pad to conform to the work surface .This enables the operator to sand the top, middle and bottom
of a wall or ceiling joint without changing: his position.
1. Turn vacuum cleaner switch ON.
CAUTION: Wear a respirator approved for "Dust and Mist".
2. Turn Drywall Sander switch 0N.
3. Position Drywall Sander lightly against work surface (apply just enough pressure to align the sanding head
with the work surface).
4. Apply additional pressure to engage the abrasive pad to the work surface: while moving the Sander in an
overlapping pattern to smooth the drywall compound down to a "featheredge'.
Apply ONLY enough pressure to keep the abrasive pad flat against the work. Excessive pressure can cause unac-
ceptable swirl marks and unevenness in the work surface.
Keep the Sander in constant motion while abrasive pad is in contact with the work surface. Use a steady,
Sweeping motion. Stopping the Sander (on the work), or moving the Sander erratically can cause unacceptable
swirl marks and unevenness in the work surface.
NOTE: Do not allow rotating abrasive pad to contact sharp protrusions. Contact with protruding objects (nails, screws, electrical boxes, etc,), can severely
damage the abrasive pad.
