INSTALL THE PAD
1. Lift the safety buckle (#39) up and out of the way.
2. Press the disc release button (#4) in and pull the 6 in. disc pad
(#56) from the palm sander.
3. Turn the palm sander upside-down.
4. Place the plastic washer (#36) onto the shallow opening in the dust
protection cover (#53).
5. Insert another 6 in. disc pad into the spindle (#19) opening.
6. Release the disc release button to secure the disc pad.
BALANCE THE DISC PAD
A disc pad may vibrate too much for comfort during operation. A
balancer (#20) can be screwed into the spindle to smooth the vibration.
1. Push the button (#4) to free the disc pad (#56). Set it aside.
2. Add or remove the balancer from the spindle (#19).
2.1 Remove the balancer from the spindle when using disc pads
lighter than 0.28 lb (128 g) for best efficiency.
2.2 Add one or both balancers to the spindle for disc pads heavier
than 0.28 lb (128 g).
3. Reinsert the disc pad.
OPERATION
Selecting the correct size and type of abrasive grit is extremely
important in achieving a high-quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide,
silicon carbide and other synthetic abrasive are best for power sanding.
To produce the best finish possible, start with a coarse grit sanding
paper and gradually change to finer and finer grit sandpapers. A final
sanding with a well-worn fine sandpaper will produce a professional
looking finish that in many cases will not need hand sanding.
1. Disconnect the tool from the air source.
2. Clean the backing pad free of dirt, dust and foreign matter prior to
attaching the sanding disc.
3. Align the sanding disc onto the backing pad and press to attach.
4. Rest the disc pad on the workpiece, then squeeze the sander’s
trigger. Speed is controlled by the trigger.
