OPERATION

OPERATING THE SANDER

See Figure 6.

J

  Secure the workpiece to prevent it from moving during 

operation.

WARNING:

Unsecured workpieces could be thrown towards the 
operator causing injury.

WARNING:

Keep your head away from the sander and the sand ing 
area. Your hair could be drawn into the sander, causing 
serious injury.

J

  Place the sander on the workpiece so that all of the 

sanding disc surface is in contact with the workpiece.

CAUTION:

To avoid motor damage resulting from overheating, do 
not cov er the air vents with your hand.

J

  Turn on the sander and move it slowly over the workpiece. 

Make successive passes in parallel lines, circles or 
crosswise movements.

J

  Turn off the sander and wait until the sanding disc 

comes to a complete stop before removing it from the 
workpiece.

Do not force. The weight of the sander sup plies ad e quate 
pres sure to do the work. Ap ply ing additional pressure only 
slows the motor, rap id ly wears the sanding sheet, drains the 
battery rapidly and greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive 
pressure will over load the motor causing pos si ble damage 
from over heat ing and can result in inferior work. Any fi nish 
or resin on wood may soften from the frictional heat. Do not 
sand on one spot too long as the sander’s rapid action may 
remove too much material, making the sur face uneven.

Extended periods of sanding may over heat the mo tor. If this 
occurs, turn the sander off and wait until the sanding sheet 
comes to a complete stop. Remove sander from workpiece. 
Remove sanding disc, then turn sander on and run it free 
without a load to cool the motor.
