CAUTION: Before attempting to use your sander, be sure to familiarise yourself
with all its operating features and safety requirements.
WARNING! The sander should always be disconnected from the power
supply when assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning or when the tool
is not in use. Disconnecting the sander will prevent accidental starting that
could cause serious injury.
On/Off Switch
1. To turn the sander on, depress the on/off switch (1)
to the “I” setting.
2. To turn the sander off, depress the on/off switch (1)
to the “0” setting.
Sanding Tips
Never force the sander. The weight of the sander supplies adequate pressure,
allowing the sandpaper to do the work. Applying additional pressure will slow the
motor, rapidly wear the sandpaper, and greatly reduce the sander speed. This will
slow the removal rate and produce an inferior quality surface.
CAUTION: Excessive pressure will overload the motor, causing possible damage
to the sander by overheating the motor; or damage to the workpiece.
Be sure to check your workpiece often. The sander is capable of removing material
rapidly, especially with coarse paper.
The orbital action of your sander allows you to sand with the grain, or at any angle
across it for most sanding jobs. In the final stages a better finish will be achieved by
sanding with the grain.
Do not sand on one spot for too long. The sander's rapid action may remove too
much material, creating an uneven surface.
Sanding
WARNING! Guide the cord during sanding to prevent it being caught on the
workpiece, or other tools/objects.
The procedure for operating the sander is set out below:
1. Firmly grasp the sander in front of you and away from your body.
2. Start the sander by depressing the on/off switch (1) to the “I” position.
3. Let the motor build up to maximum speed. Gradually lower it onto the workpiece
with a slight forward movement.
4. Move the sander slowly over the workpiece using forward and backward, or side
to side strokes.
5. Upon completion of the sanding operation, remove the sander from the workpiece.
Turn off the sander by depressing the on/off switch (1) to the “0” position.
