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.
