5. To tighten, press the spindle lock button while
turning disc nut clockwise with the spanner
wrench provided.
6. To remove backing pad and sanding disc, remove
the battery pack and reverse the procedure.
Sanding
Hold tool at 5° to 15° angle to ensure proper sanding
pressure and control. Too great an angle will result
in too much pressure and could cause excessive
wear to the disc and workpiece. Too small an angle
will reduce control.
Use long, sweeping, side to side strokes, advancing
forward to produce the desired fi nish.
Cross Sanding
When fi nishing a surface that has been prepared by
a coarse disc or wheel, sand at right angles to the
strokes made by the coarser disc. Finishing marks
left from previous sanding are easily seen and
removed for a uniform fi nish. Failure to cross sand
when changing from a coarse disc to a fi nishing disc
may result in deep scratches and circular marks.
Removing Welds or Hammer Marks
When removing welds or hammer marks, limit
coarse sanding to the immediate area. Use suc-
cessively fi ner grits to smooth surface.
Finishing Metal
Constantly move across the surface. Work faster on
curved surfaces where contact areas are smaller
and pressure is greater. Flat areas may appear at
the end of the stroke when pressure is too heavy.
Ease up on pressure at end of each stroke and
when reversing strokes.
Troubleshooting
Deep scratches and circular marks can result
from:
•
Using too coarse a grit
•
Using a partially glazed disc
•
Dirt or loose metal on the workpiece
•
Failure to sand across the grain when changing
from coarse to fi nishing discs
•
Failure to use closed coated discs to reduce
the problem of grains working loose and
scratching the workpiece
Bluish discoloration of metal surface indicates:
•
Excessive heat caused by circular motion in a
small area
• Excessive
pressure
•
Use of worn out or glazed discs
