FEATURES
This 300mm Sanding Disc is ideal for finish fitting, altering bevel angles, sanding
convex curves - ‘to the line’, and sanding end grain, without burning etc.
The machine is provided with a work table which is capable of tilting to 45 degrees,
and a mitre gauge, in which the work may be held, and which moves in a mitre
gauge slot, parallel to the disc. The Mitre gauge is also capable of adjustment to
60 degrees. The table must ALWAYS be perfectly secure before starting work.
Considerable dust is produced when using this machine and it is most important
that a suitable face mask is worn at all times. We also strongly recommend that a
dust extractor is fitted to the outlet provided, and similarly, used at all times.
Discs for sanding wood are available from your CLARKE dealer (See ‘Accessories’).
Discs for sanding other materials are available from various DIY or specialist stores.
If you are not familiar with sanding machines, it is strongly recommended that you
consult a qualified person, or obtain relevant tutorials. Like all power tools, this
machine can be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands or if used incorrectly.
Used correctly however, it is a highly efficient and intensely labour saving device.
Please read this manual thoroughly before use.
