9. Using the machine
This is a compact but powerful machine and
should only be used by competent operators
who have read and understood the Instruction
Manual.
This Precision File Sander can be regarded as
a powered file. It should be held with both
hands, one hand holding the handle, the other
hand holding the motor casing.
(fig. 12)
Caution:
A severe abrasion hazard exists
when using this machine. We recommend
that the operator considers wearing suitable
protective gloves especially when sanding
metallic substances.
note:
A Dust Bag (supplied) can be connected
to the machines outlet port when sanding
wood, plastics or paint removal. It should not
be used when sanding metallic materials.
some general guidance:
• Always wear a dust mask and safety
glasses, and any other safety equipment as
necessary.
• Select the sanding belt carefully for the job
in hand.
• Be aware that the sanding belt may ‘travel’
along the workpiece. Hold the machine firmly
and guide it along the workpiece.
• Light downwards pressure is all that is
necessary to achieve best results. There is no
need to press the machine into the workpiece
with any great force.
• Two, three or more passes over the same
track will achieve better results than trying to
remove all of the waste material in one pass.

WaRnInG:
Do not attempt to clean
by inserting pointed objects through
openings in the machines casings etc. The
machines air vents should be cleaned using
compressed dry air.
