WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR PALM SANDER
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the
speed to maximum and run it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid
prolonged usage at very low speeds. Always use sand paper that is suitable
for the material you want to sand. Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held
or clamped to prevent movement. Any movement of the material may affect the
quality of the sanding finish. Start your sander before sanding and turn it off only
after you stop sanding. For the best results, sand wood in the direction of the
grain. Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper fitted. Do not allow the
sandpaper to wear away it will damage the base-plate. The guarantee does not
cover base-plate wear and tear. Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces,
medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the final surfaces. If necessary,
first make a test run on scrap material. Use only good quality sandpaper. The
sandpaper controls the sanding efficiency, not the amount of force you apply
to the tool. Excessive force will reduce the sanding fficiency and cause motor
overload. Replacing the sandpaper regularly will maintain optimum sanding
efficiency.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing
or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no
user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to
clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool
in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls
free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This
is normal and will not damage your power tool. If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING

2.If the sander does not abrade surface, check the sanding paper. If the sanding
paper have been worn, replace the new paper and try again. The paper must be
kept in a dry place; If it is allowed to become damp, the abrasive particles will lose
their adhesion to the backing paper and will not abrade.
3.If the sander dose not move smoothly, The sanding paper may be loose,
