SANDING – cont’d
Upon completion of the sanding
operation, turn the sander OFF by
pressing on the opposite side of the
ON/OFF switch. Wait until the sanding
pad comes to a complete stop before
removing it from the workpiece.
WARNING: Your sander should only be
turned ON when the entire surface of
the sanding pad is in contact with the
workpiece. Failure to follow this sanding
procedure could result in loose sandpaper
which could result in possible injury.
NOTE: Hold the sander using the grip
on top of the sander. Be careful NOT to
cover the motor cooling vents with your
hand. Motor damage may occur from over
heating if the cooling vents are covered.
DO NOT FORCE THE SANDER. The
weight of the sander usually provides
adequate pressure. Let the sander and the
sandpaper do the work. Applying added
pressure will slow the motor, increase the
wear on the sandpaper and greatly reduce
the sander speed. Motor damage may
occur if excessive downward pressure
is applied. It will also create an inferior
finish on sanded work. Any finish or resin
on wood will soften from the frictional
heat, causing the sandpaper to become
clogged very quickly. Do not sand in one
spot too long as the sander’s rapid action
may remove too much material, making
the surface uneven.
Extended periods of sanding may tend
to overheat the motor. If this occurs, turn
sander OFF, wait until the sanding pad
comes to a complete stop and remove it
from the workpiece. Check to make sure
your hand has not been covering the
cooling vents. Let the motor cool before
continuing the sanding operation.
