OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental start-
ups, turn switch OFF and remove the plug from
the power source outlet before making any adjust -
ments.
INSTALLING HOOK AND LOOP SANDPAPER
1. Before installing sandpaper, make sure the hook
and loop fastener base is free of dust and dirt
and that the sander is unplugged with the ON/
OFF switch in the OFF position (2) .
2. The base blade (5) will hold any hook and loop
sandpaper without clamps or glue. Simply line
up the sandpaper with the hook and loop fas -
tener base and press together, making sure
front edge of the sandpaper is aligned with the
front edge of the hook and loop fastener base.
3. To remove used sandpaper, peel one edge away
from the hook and loop fastener base until the
whole sheet is free.
CAUTION: Do not use torn or severely worn or
damaged sandpaper. To do so could damage the
surface of the sanding base.
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure that the power switch (2) is in the off
position, then plug in the tool.
2. Turn the switch ON (2) .
3. Do not use excess pressure while sanding and
always sand in same direction as grain of wood.
Let the sandpaper do the work. Apply even pres -
sure over entire workpiece.
4. Check the wear on the sandpaper at regular in -
tervals and replace as necessary.
NOTE: Always turn the power switch OFF and un -
plug the sander before changing sheets of sandpa-
per.
5. For optimal sanding results on different materi -
als, you can set the desired sanding speed, and
always adjust speed (1) to grit size used. Before
starting a job, find the optimal speed (1) and grit
by testing out on spare material.
6. Empty dust box (4) regularly for optimal dust
pick-up performance.
EMPTY DUST: Press knob (3) downward and
pull it open, then pour out the dust.
NOTE: Do not use dust box when sanding metal.
Do not clean the dust box by water.
7. When sanding is completed, remove the sand-
er from the workpiece and turn off the power
switch (2) .
8. When completely finished using the sander, use
a vacuum to dislodge all sand shavings and dust,
wipe with clean, soft cloth.
9. To prevent accidents, turn off the sander and
unplug it after use. Clean, then store the sander
indoors out of children’s reach.
SANDPAPER SELECTION
f
Choosing the right size, grit and type of sandpaper
maximizes the quality of your sanded finish. Alu -
minum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic
abrasives are best for power sanding as natural
abrasives, such as flint and garnet, are too soft for
economical use in power sanding.
f
In general, coarse grit will remove the most mate-
rial and finer grit will produce the best finish in all
sanding operations. The condition of the surface to
be sanded will determine the right grit for the job.
If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and
sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may
then be used to remove the scratches left by the
coarser grit while a finer grit can be used for fin -
ishing. Always continue sanding with each grit until
surface is uniform.
NOTE: DO NOT use sander without sandpaper.
Doing so will damage the sanding base.
MAINTENANCE
Regular inspection and cleaning reduces the neces -
sity for maintenance operations and will keep your
tool in good working condition. The motor must be
correctly ventilated during tool operation. For this
reason avoid blocking the air inlets.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Recycle raw materials instead of disposing as
waste. Machine, accessories and packaging should
be sorted for environment - friendly recycling. The
