Speed adjust knob
Where possible, secure smaller workpiece to prevent them from moving under the sander.
Lower the sander in contact with the workpiece without pressure and then start the sander.
Move the sander slowly over the surface of the workpiece, for best results use the sander in
a linear motion not circular. Using the sander in a circular motion may result in the belt
tracking slipping. Sand with the grain, in parallel over lapping strokes.
To remove paint or smooth very rough wood, sand across the grain at 45º in two directions,
and then finish parallel with the grain. Use the front roller only to sand corners or irregular
shapes.
Lift the sander off the work before switching off. Remember to keep your hands away from
the moving belt, as it will continue to move for a short time after the machine is switched
off.
If there are still scratches on your work after sanding, try either of the following:
- Go back to a coarser grit and sand the marks out before recommencing with the original
choice or,
- Try using new sanding belt of the same grit to eliminate the unwanted marks before
progressing to a finer grit and finishing the job.
WARNING : Don’t use this machine on plaster.
Wear safety goggles and dust mask.
