OPeratIOn
1. before connecting the sander to the power source, make sure the On/Off switch is in the Off position
identified with a "O".
2. after connecting to the power source push the On/Off switch to "I" which is the On position.
3. make sure the surface to be sanded is free of any debris before placing the running sander onto the
surface.
Move the sander slowly using forward and backward strokes. Do not put additional pressure on the
sander. This will slow down the speed of the pad and reduce sanding efficiency, as well as put an additional
burden on the motor.
4. always remove sander from the work piece before shutting the sander off.
Dust eXtractIOn
the majority of the sanding dust is discharged through the dust extraction
nozzle located in the rear of the unit.
However, some dust will remain around and
on the work area when sanding horizontal surfaces.
1. regularly clean the sanding surface of excessive dust.
Failure to do so
may result in a poor finish and premature wearing of the sandpaper.
2. a vacuum cleaner can be fitted to the dust extraction nozzle to minimize
residual dust.
3. this tool is designed for accepting a dust vacuum.
If a dust vacuum is
to be used drill five holes on the sander paper. The holes on the sand paper
should match those on the sanding pad.
maIntenance
1. although the sander does not require user maintenance, the sander should be kept clean.
Wipe the
sander with a clean cloth and periodically blow out all areas with compressed air. If compressed air is not
available, use a brush to remove dust from all areas. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents to clean the
sander. These chemicals could seriously damage the plastic housing.
2. avoid overloading the sander.
Overloading will result in considerable reduction of speed and efficiency and
the unit will become hot. In this event, run the sander at a “no load” condition for a minute or two.
3. regularly inspect all mountings and screws to ensure tightness.
Should any screws become loose, tighten
immediately.
4. If repair is required, take the sander to an authorized service center.
