STARTING & STOPPING THE SANDER
Ensure the sander is switched OFF
before plugging into the power
supply.
1. Ensure the sander is switched OFF
before plugging into the power
supply.
2. Switch the machine ON or OFF by
sliding the switch forward and
backward.
OPERATING TECHNIQUE
1. Select the operating speed
appropriate to the job in hand.
The speed required will be
dependant on the material and
will be determined by a practical
trial.
• Speeds are stated in the
specification.
2. Always hold the sander securely.
3. Regularly check the condition of
the sanding sheet and replace it when necessary.
4. 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.
5. Always use sanding sheet that is in top condition, as damaged sheets will
cause damage to the baseplate. Please note, that baseplates are NOT
covered by the warranty.
6. Always place the sander on the workpiece before switching ON to prevent
the workpiece from being badly scored by the edge of the moving
abrasive.
7. Move the sander evenly and smoothly over the surface of the workpiece
with only light, even pressure. This helps to expel dust particles and produce
an even finish and will also prolong the life of the sanding sheet.
8. Let the sander do the work and ensure the sander is flat on the work
surface. Never apply heavy pressure as this will not only produce an
uneven finish but will overload the motor causing it to burn out.
9. Be cautious when sanding the end of a workpiece as the sheet could
come off the baseplate and damage it in the process.
