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 trigger switch (1).
Note: Refer to the procedure outlined above for correct operation of the trigger
switch (1) and lock on button (2).
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 and then releasing the trigger
switch (1).
