Initial Inspection
After receiving your new Radiator Sander, check the carton for damage. Note any defects such
as sliced cord or a damaged switch. Prior to connection to an electrical source, verify that the motor
shaft turns by hand. Listen for unusual noises and feel for binding spots.
Operation
Before connecting your sander to a 110V electrical source, verify that
the switch is in the "OFF" position. The switch is located between the
hand grips. Always use three wire grounded plug extension cords and
electrical source.
Hold the unit securely by the handle grips when switching the unit on.
This unit was adjusted to allow for flat sanding disc contact. If more
frontal or side disc contact is preferred, the caster height can be adjusted.
Loosen the lock nut, adjust the height, and retighten the lock nut.
