WARNING
Always remove the battery pack when attaching,
changing, or rotating sanding sheets. Failure to
do so could cause accidental starting, leading to
serious personal injury.
ATTACHING SANDING SHEETS, SCRUBBING
PADS AND POLISHING PADS (Fig. 3)
Align the pointed tip and rounded edges of the sanding
sheet or pad with the pointed tip and rounded edges of
the hook-and-loop pad. Carefully press the fuzzy side of
the sanding sheet against the pad as tightly as possible.
Note:
Sanding sheets can be reused for the life of the
sanding abrasive. It is recommended that you keep the
sanding sheet backing pad clean to provide for best
adhesion. Clean occasionally by brushing lightly with a
small brush.
TURNING THE SANDER ON (I) / OFF (O) (Fig. 4)
■
Install the battery pack.
■
To turn ON the sander: push the ON (I) / OFF (O)
switch to the left.
■
To turn OFF the sander: push the ON (I) / OFF (O)
switch to the right.
OPERATING THE SANDER (Fig. 5-6)
■
Secure the workpiece to prevent it from moving under
the sander.
WARNING
Unsecured workpieces could be thrown towards
the operator, causing injury.
WARNING
Keep your head away from the sander and the
sanding area. Your hair could be drawn into the
sander causing serious injury.
■
Place the sander on the workpiece so that all of the
sanding sheet surface is in contact with the work-
piece.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the motor from overheating,
be careful not to let your hand cover the air vents.
■
Turn on the sander and move it slowly over the work-
piece.
■
Hold the sander in front and away from you, keeping it
clear of the workpiece. Start sander and let the motor
build to its maximum speed, then gradually lower the
sander onto the workpiece. Move the sander slowly
across the workpiece using small circular motions.
■
Do not force.
The weight of the unit supplies
adequate pressure, so let the sanding sheet and
sander do the work. Applying additional pressure only
slows the motor, rapidly wears sanding sheet and
greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive pressure
will overload the motor causing possible damage from
motor overheating and can result in inferior work.
Any finish or resin on wood may soften from the
frictional heat. Do not allow sanding on 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 and wait
until sanding sheet comes to a complete stop, then
remove it from work-piece. Remove your hand from
vent area, remove sanding sheet, then with your
hand removed from vent area, turn sander on and run
it free without a load to cool motor.
■
For detail sanding such as corners and crevices,
use the tip of the sanding pad with small back and
forth motions.
OPERATION
CHANGING SANDING SHEETS AND PADS (Fig. 7)
The sander is packed with sanding sheets and scrubbing
pads designed for a variety of uses. To change sheets
and pads, simply pull the used sheet off the base and
attach the desired sheet by pressing the sheet or pad
onto the base of the sander.
ROTATING THE SANDING SHEETS (Fig. 8)
The majority of wear in a precision sanding application
occurs at the tip of the sanding sheet. The unique
Tri-Flex design of the sanding sheets allows you to
detach and rotate the top two thirds of each and extend
the life of the sheet. To rotate the top of the sheet,
simply remove the top two thirds along the perforation.
Rotate the sheet so that a clean corner is located at the
tip of the base. Press the sheet firmly onto the pad.
